Please help get the word out; there are only 6 weeks to get this task done.

Dogs and cats come into our lives, and too quickly go leaving pawprints on our hearts, and we will never be quite the same again.

More info from the adoption agency at Dairyland:

(11/19/2009) - DGP Important Closing - Dog Status

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.

The doesn't mean they are out of danger. The owners could possibly put them down when they get them back. However, many, many dogs will need homes.

My group is holding some fundraisers over the next few weeks to help the greys from Dairyland. Prayers they all find forever homes.

Adopting one greyhound will not change the world, but the world will change for that one greyhound.

Our Greyhound Group is doing fundraising also. We also have a list of dogs on our website.

The first 35 dogs will be leaving Dairyland on December 5th with 2 stops on the way to Erie PA. Hopefully, I will have picutes of the dogs getting on the hauler that I can download here. I'll be at the track bright and early as the hauler wants to leave Dairyland at 6:30 AM. (I'm not sure it will be bright....probably still dark).
