The urgent need to adopt greyhounds racing at Dairyland Greyhound Park has received some attention around the web these days.
If you haven’t heard, the track, located just over the I and the state’s last one operating, will cease racing as of Jan. 1.
Here’s the track’s statement on the matter, which does differ somewhat from the info that is being circulated through other channels:
Wisconsin State law provides that the greyhounds are to be adopted to new homes, sent to another racetrack for racing purposes or returned to their owners. Our kennel compound will remain open until all greyhounds are properly placed.
We do not know at this current time how many greyhounds in total will become available for adoption until we finish racing on December 31st, 2009.
We do currently have greyhounds available for adoption in our adoption center. You are more than welcome to fill out an application at Dairyland or online at our website www.dairylandgreyhoundpark.com under the adoption tab at the top of the webpage.
Greyhound Pets Of America-Wisconsin also has Dairyland greyhounds available for adoption. Please contact them at 414-299-9473 or visit their website at http://www.gpawisconsin.org/”
