Every Greyhound Inc Australia’s directory of greyhounds available for adoption ABN 65634155494

7 July 2016 MEDIA RELEASE “WHERE WILL THE GREYHOUNDS GO?” Today, NSW Premier Mike Baird has announced the end of greyhound racing in NSW from 1 July 2017. One outcome of this decision is that many thousands of greyhounds will need to be rehomed as family pets. As Australia’s directory of greyhounds available for adoption, Every Greyhound Inc supports dozens of rehoming groups. It provides vital publicity and social media exposure for dogs in the care of small and independent rehoming groups, as well as the large well-known ones. All of those groups are going to be inundated with surrendered dogs and adoption enquiries over the next 12 months – and they are all at capacity. Every Greyhound already struggles to keep up with the ever increasing volume of listings and enquiries. Speaking in response to the announcement, Every Greyhound’s President, Angela Russell, said: “There are two things we ask of Premier Baird today. One – a place at the transition planning table for the small and independent rehoming groups. And two – funds to have our website redeveloped. Please. It desperately needs it.” Ms Russell said that Every Greyhound Inc will continue to support all individuals and groups who want to rehome greyhounds, but “It makes sense for the NSW Premier to help us help the hounds. That’s what we do.” Quick facts:     

We promote the dogs via Facebook and Twitter, and work to increase awareness of what great pets greyhounds can be. Every Greyhound is 100% volunteer operated. Our policy is that we do not take a position on greyhound racing. We are pro-greyhound, and pro-adoption, and we work with any group or individual to achieve positive outcomes for these beautiful dogs. We are a registered charity and donations can be made via direct deposit.
