leelai said:A friend of mine is part of an organization which find homes for greyhounds....ones that don't make the cut for racing and those which have finished their racing careers. The practice was to just PTS, it's an area where people just don't realize the huge numbers that are put down all the time. So far she personally has saved just over a hundred of them by finding good homes.

I give money to the RSPCA every month. I can't afford it but can't quite stop the payment. I keep thinking of all those animals suffering. Love all the new animals on here.

I have dogs, cats, horse, pony, chickens, ducks, goldfish and a cockatiel called Jack. It sounds like we live on a farm doesn't it? We live in a village and rent the field next door for the horse and pony. They are native to UK so can live off the grass with hay in the winter to supplement their intake. They still look porky though.
