Our Commitment to Florida Greyhounds
Many of you have expressed concern about what will happen to the estimated 8,000 greyhounds who are currently racing in the state of Florida if and when the bills currently in legislation pass. The safety and welfare of every single greyhound who stands to be effected is our number one priority. To that end the Greyhounds First Coalition was formed.
We will work together to find homes for any and all greyhounds that become available with the passage of this humane legislation. In fact, many of us were among the scores of adoption groups that quickly mobilized and found homes for the greyhounds when the states of Oregon, Connecticut, Colorado, Wisconsin, Kansas, Massaschusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island closed down their live racing operations.
The winding down of live racing will not occur abruptly. Some tracks are seasonal and will simply not re-open for live racing at season's end. Some tracks that normally offer live racing througout the year may take the option to stop racing right away - but some may not. However and whenever tracks choose to release the greyhounds, we will be available to help.
We welcome and in fact encourage any adoption group who would like to help with the nationwide effort to help Florida greyhounds to contact a member of the Greyhounds First Coalition for more information. We will continue to keep everyone informed of new developments and thank you all sincerely for your on-going support and concern for the greyhounds.

I am a retired racing greyhound owner and military officer serving in the Army. If the tracks in Florida do close, I want to ensure military members in Florida, and other areas, that they can provide forever homes to these greyhounds.
My wife and I adopted our greyhound in January 2007 in Tennessee. Since then, we have moved with our greyhound to Alabama, Colorado, Germany, and Virginia. Further, we have traveled across the U.S. and Europe with our greyhound on vacation several times. During all of our moves and vacations, we have stayed in hotels with our greyhound or placed him in a kennel for airline shipment. While we did not enjoy shipping our greyhound, we had good experiences with the airlines and pet carrier companies and our greyhound always arrived in good health and spirits.
My wife and I have been involved in greyhound adoption groups in nearly every place we have lived. In many places, we encountered military members who are not sure if a retired racer will fit in their military life style. I would like to let these families know that greyhounds are great travelers and adjust very well to new places. More importantly, the support you receive from adoption groups is amazing. We know several other military families that own retired racers and their greyhounds are also great adjustors.
Moreover, we have never had a yard to let him roam or relax in. Living both on and off military bases, our greyhound adjusts well to whatever space we live in. As long as he gets his morning and evening walks, he does just fine. Therefore, in our experience, the lack of space at home or in a hotel does not bother our greyhound. He is happy as long as we are with him.
The only advice I have for military members, and all potential greyhound adopters for that matter, is that they allow the greyhound to pick them. In this way, they will ensure that the greyhound they adopt is the best fit for their family and lifestyle.
