Portsmouth Greyhound Stadium to Close: 200 Dogs Urgently Need Foster Homes and Rescue Places!

PORTSMOUTH GREYHOUND STADIUM TO CLOSE

The good news is that as of 31st March 2010 Portsmouth Greyhound Stadium will cease to race greyhounds, the bad news is that 200 dogs now desperately need re-homing.

From Greyhounds For You (G4U)

If you have ever considered fostering or have fostered in the past, could you squeeze another one into your home whilst we endeavour to find permanent homes for these greyhounds who, through no fault of their own or their trainers, now have no job to do. If you are considering adopting another hound, maybe you would consider doing so sooner rather than later. Have you got friends who could help us out by fostering and/or adopting?

This situation is serious and we need to get as many dogs out to safety as soon as possible. Please spread the work amongst everyone you know so we can help as many as we possibly can. Please contact us if you are interested and I am sure that Kim, our star fosterer would be happy to answer any questions on what fostering a greyhound entails.

Please remember why G4U exists – purely and simply to help greyhounds.

If anyone thinks they would be able to adopt or foster one of these lovely animals, please email: homing@greyhounds4u.co.uk (ensure you write the word ‘greyhound’ or ‘G4U’ in the subject line of your email, or within the email itself) or ring 0787 961 5471

They rescue and rehome greyhounds in many areas, namely Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Somerset, Worcestershire, Avon, Wiltshire, Hampshire, Berkshire, Middlesex, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Surrey, West Sussex, East Sussex, Kent and the Isle of Wight
