Subject: Woodlands Greyhound Race Track closing in Kansas Cit

 

The Woodlands Racetrack in Kansas City is closing August 24th. I have spoken with REGAP (Retired Greyhounds as Pets) here in Kansas City.

There are 600 Greyhounds at the track.

Greyhound rescue estimates they will be able to get 200 into the rescue network.

The Woodlands is one of the last stop race tracks in the Greyhound racing industry, the remaining 400 will be 'returned' to the breeders and likely put-to-sleep.

They are needing as much help as they can get for fosters, adoptions, transports, etc. PLEASE contact them if you can help and forward to friends you know who may be able to help, as well.

REGAP can be reached at 816-763-3333.
Thanks!
