Greyhounds are couch potatoes. They make wonderful pets. They are smart, loving and sleep and lounge 22 hours out of the day. They love their walks but they are not high energy and don't need to run every day. There is a never ending supply of Greyhounds. Racing continues and when the dogs retire, hopefully an adoption group will be there waiting to take the dog and foster it until a permanent home can be found. Otherwise their fate is death.
