Is there any kind of group that places these dogs? If not, maybe one can be formed. Here, most of these groups are chartered as charitable groups, under the 501(C)3 mandate. I don't know how it would be done in Canada.<br /><br />I have worked for several years now with the Finger Lakes Thoroughbred Adoption Program. http://www.fingerlakestap.org/<br />My specialization is the FLTAP Trainer Listings, which I helped to create.<br />http://fltrainerlist.proboards.com/index.cgi?<br /><br />We place retiring race horses in new homes. It's not a rescue operation, just another way for trainers to get the word out that they have a horse that is done racing that they would like to sell. We go to the track once a week, talk to the trainers, take pictures and write descriptions.<br /><br />It seems to me that something similar could be set up for these dogs, perhaps also based on the Greyhound placement services. The adoption model might be a better one, in this instance, since these dogs would need some kind of retraining before they could be offered, in most cases, as it seems that they could be dangerous.<br /><br />Maybe all this is already being done, for all I know. If you want to talk more, shoot me a reply on my blog with your email. I won't approve it for posting, of course.<br />I'll be glad to tell you about our experiences, if it will help.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17692541935507155362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378084381324788826.post-3906681652996361762011-02-07T11:58:08.989-08:002011-02-07T11:58:08.989-08:00SPECIAL NOTE: There was a rally held by dog lovers...SPECIAL NOTE: There was a rally held by dog lovers and their dogs and led by a BC dog rescue group yesterday.
