Commercial greyhound racing is cruel and inhumane. Greyhounds are kept confined in small, stacked cages for up to 23 hours a day. When let out to race, fragile hounds break their legs, suffer crushed skulls, spinal cord paralysis, heat stroke and more. They routinely test positive for serious drugs, including cocaine. Please sign our petitions to shut down dog tracks and give greyhounds the second chance they deserve.
Greyhounds are intelligent, loyal, and good natured. They are easily housetrained, shed only slightly and rarely bark. Called “45-per-mile couch potatoes,” rescued greyhounds require little exercise and spend most of their time napping around the house.

The cruelty of greyhound racing knows no borders. Throughout the world, racing dogs are born to a life of misery. Even the most successful greyhounds find themselves abused, abandoned, starved, neglected and killed. You can help save gentle hounds by supporting our campaign to end racing worldwide today.
