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.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Our Greyhound "Millie", was the mellowest pooch you ever saw as are most Greyhounds. One ten minute walk a day and a couple of belly rubs and she was good to go.
Greyhounds are the ultimate couch potatoes and make ideal pets for elderly folks as they are so low maintenance. Millie never barked, I think they beat it out of them {arrrg!} and we could take her anywhere. For 8 years she traveled with us all over the country in our Aliner, the 22' TT and finally our 24'Class C.
She crossed the Rainbow bridge almost 2 years ago and not a day passes that we both don't miss her. Someday another dog and you can bet we will take another look at rescuing a Greyhound.
:S
