    i met a lady when i was at some NP one time who rescued these dogs ... it's pretty brutal - a lot of these dogs can't even walk up stairs because they simply don't know how to ... they don't know how to play or anything ... :(

    but for those prospective life-savers - they can be saved and be like every other dog out there ... :)

    I have a friend involved in Greyhound rescue...he's rescued three so far. I'll forward this to him in case he hasn't seen it. Wish I could help :( poor things.

    yes, many of these pups can't negotiate stairs but they would be great for 1st floor apt/condo/ranch home owners. also, a little bit of training can help. Thank you for reading my thread and passing this info along. Let's hope a few of these defenseless animals finds good, caring homes.

    I hear they make excellent pets because they don't shed or bark or require as much attention as most other dogs. I always said if I got one, it'd be a greyhound.

    If we didn't have 2 Goldens already I would definitely consider one
