INDUSTRY GROUPS PLEDGE SUPPORT FOR DAIRYLAND
GREYHOUNDS
For Immediate Release
CONTACT: Gary Guccione, Communications Coordinator, American Greyhound Council,
785-263-4660, info@agcouncil.com
Abilene, KS (Dec 14, 2009)---The nation’s top two greyhound racing industry
organizations have announced that they will provide whateve...r assistance is needed to
ensure that greyhounds awaiting transfer from Dairyland Greyhound Park after the track’s
December 31 closing receive proper care until adoption groups can find suitable homes for
them.
American Greyhound Track Operators Association (AGTOA) President Karen
Keelan and National Greyhound Association (NGA) Executive Director Gary Guccione
said their organizations will work through the American Greyhound Council (AGC), the
industry’s greyhound welfare and adoption organization, to provide support in the form of
special adoption grants, greyhound transportation, and, if needed, temporary housing and
care for greyhounds at NGA’s Abilene, KS, headquarters.
Keelan said that, under state law, all greyhounds leaving Dairyland must be
transferred to other tracks to resume their racing careers, returned to their owners, or
placed in an approved adoption program.
Guccione said that adoption groups around the country are accustomed to dealing
with track closings and seasonal increases in the number of dogs needing adoptive homes.
“There are hundreds of very dedicated volunteers working day and night to make
sure that every adoptable greyhound is placed in a loving home,” Guccione said. “We
will do everything we can to support that effort.”
