European Greyhound NetworkEuropean Greyhound Network is a no profit organization based in Italy with a great passion for animals. In particular, we are concerned about the sad situation involving Greyhounds racing in the U.K. and IE tracks, and Spanish galgos still used (and abused) for hunting. We may look a bit too selective, but unfortunately it’s quite impossible to help every pet in need; a choice must be made, and that is why we focused on these dogs, beautiful, docile, but nonetheless still considered as “livestock” in their home countries. Our only purpose is to give Irish Greyhounds and Lurchers, and Spanish Galgos a new chance in their unfortunate lives and a bright future with loving families in Italy... We wish to spread a word on behalf of these dogs to people, in order for them to know about this unnecessary cruelty towards such sweet natured companions...81 fans -

KerryGreyhoundConnectionFinding homes for unwanted greyhounds :Kerry Greyhound Connection was set up by Amanda Saunders Perkins in 2002 after realising the sad fate awaiting most of these dogs when they retired from racing. This includes destruction, abandonment or being shipped to Spain where they are kept in atrocious conditions and some raced with terrible injuries. Many are inhumanely killed, often by being hung from trees, or abandoned to die of starvation. Kerry Greyhound Connection is a small voluntary organisation based in County Kerry, Ireland and in Norfolk, England. We take in, rehabilitate and find homes for unwanted Irish racing greyhounds. We also work to educate the public, and people involved in the Irish racing industry, that greyhounds make great pets. We do this by promoting the many good qualities of greyhounds as family pets and by working to dispel the misconceptions about greyhounds. Often people do not realise greyhounds are great with children, that many can live happily with cats and other small animals, and that they are in fact couch potatoes who do not need a lot of exercise. We aim to encourage the racing industry and governments to improve conditions for these dogs, to reduce the amount of greyhounds which are destroyed and stop the export of these dogs to Spain. We also want to encourage the racing industry and governments, particularly in Ireland, to improve conditions for greyhounds, to develop more facilities and organisations to re-home more dogs, to introduce some controls on breeding in order to reduce the number of greyhounds which are bred, and to reduce the number which are destroyed, and stop the export of greyhounds to Spain. There are some small signs of progress in Ireland but there remains a very long way to go both with education and welfare.60 fans -
