There is now a group from Greyhound Rescue Wales set up in the north. Might be worth contacting them for regional help.
If you are able to travel, then you could also further awareness and fund raise for other groups such as Gap.

Hi Karen I belong to a group called Greyhound Action we have members and groups nationwide you might like to get on to their web site. We have recently been involved in the cruelty case in Wales when the dog was shot in the head, ears cut off and dumped still alive in a ditch to die. We demonstrated outside the court and certainly raised awareness in the local area. I like you am absolutely appaled by humans treatment of greys I try to do my bit by writing to newspapers and telling everybody I know about the racing industry. Greyhound Action have some wonderful leaflets that you can send for. www.greyhoundaction.co.uk. |

I will leave this here to give Karen a couple of hours to see it then I will move it to general chat. This board is only for dogs in immediate danger needing moving from pound to rescue and the same message has been posted by Karen on a couple of our other boards too  |

sorry just trying to help ?? Wasnt saying you werent What I meant is this section is for dogs in immediate danger. We have a dog chat board that is for threads like this and an off topic area etc and am going to move the thread to there you will need to register to use those boards though. Only the boards for dire emergencies are open to guests as we have had problems with people posting randomly and being disruptive. |
