He's a wonderful dog and GO has worked extremely hard to take in 92 of the approximately 261 displaced Dairyland dogs. I believe all or nearly all of them have been placed in loving homes like ours. All of the 261 Dairyland dogs that were slated to become pets went to adoption groups. Unfortunately, the Dairyland management has had a very anti-adoption lean in the policies that they implemented to close the tracks which led to many lower grade racers being sent to tracks in Florida rather than being retired. Several Dairyland kennel operators who moved to other tracks requested to send their retired dogs to adoption groups in Wisconsin and they were eagerly told yes, GO and other groups in Wisconsin would take their dogs. Currently, GO and the Greyhound Alliance are working to arrange hauls of Florida racers that were displaced by Dairyland dogs. They have received more than 18 retired Florida racers so far and at least one former Dairyland racer who has since been retired. Please give them all the kudos and support that they deserve for being there for the "forgotten" Florida Panhandle hounds! We adopted one of the retired Dairyland racers from Greyhounds Only.
