Program gives greyhounds a new life

A program in Sydney is retraining retired greyhound racing dogs so that they can become domestic pets. As shown on the ABC 7.30 program.

Thank God this is a massive step forward for these magnificent animals. There should be a retirement fund set up for the animals who are lucky enough to be adopted. The ongoing cost for supporting these adopted animals is enormous when you consider food and vet bills. Even if their yearly supply of flea tick and heart worm medication was funded by greyhound racing Australia would be a great help. The people who are willing to clean up the mess caused by greyhound racing should get as much assistance as possible. When you hear these dog racing people say how much they love their animals , doesn’t cut it with me. That love certainly diminishes when the dogs racing days are done. The sad thing is there are still many dogs being put down after racing still and this heart breaking.

Sharon O'Neill, wonderful story - well done. Let's hope Greyhounds As Pets get the recognition (and the success) they deserve.

Love how the little dog attacked greyhound and the greyhound fails the programme. How can people living in a country where everything else wants to kill you think that greyhounds are aggressive? Moronic.

Outstanding program, how old are the dogs when they retire? Best regards from San Juan, Puerto Rico

Depends. Usually about 3-4 years old. My rescue greyhound retired just before she turned 2 because she got an injury, only raced about 4 or 5 times. But thankfully, she wasn’t mistreated by her trainer. He’s been in touch, lovely guy.

Wow that is just a win win win situation.

That dude is part of ther problem. He exploits them and then asks people to keep them. He's disgusting, in spite of this programme
