Florida bans Greyhound racing.
It looks like lots of Greyhounds will need a new home.

Good luck with that. Greyhounds especially racing ones, are hard to handle. Takes a special enviroment and owner to have a successful pairing. Really don't make good house pets.
Two things about this:
They have not actually banned the racing, but have banned BETTING on the races.
They think that will effectively kill the racing.
And years ago, the dogs used to be "trained" as guard dogs too. They kind of provided their own security. That hasn't been done, in general, for a long time now and the rescues I've seen are quite nice; somewhat shy even.
