The Electronic Bulletin Board received ongoing funding. Since the electronic bulletin board was created last year, it has had nearly 500 people call in for information. This service too is designed to facilitate greyhound adoption. A nonprofit corporation, the American Greyhound Council was formed in 1987 with the general purpose of providing for the welfare of racing greyhounds and the betterment of the greyhound industry. Governed by the American Greyhound Track Operators Association and the National Greyhound Association, the Council accepts and reviews proposals from individuals and organizations requesting funding for research and other activities which meet the goals of the Council.
Greyhounds make wonderful pets.
The dogs are easygoing, happy and affectionate. They're smart, learn quickly and adapt easily. Unlike the image many people have, greyhounds are not hyper. And they don't need big backyards or lots of exercise. GPA places many greyhounds in apartments and condos, with everyone from single to seniors, families with kids to families with other pets.
