Fwd: Help Santa's Little Helper!

My friend Becky (in Rhode Island) spotted this on Facebook.
Please share it with everyone you know who might possibly be interested in adopting a greyhound -- or who might know someone like that.  I guess there had to be SOME negative consequence from the stupid race track shutting down.  Well, okay, lost jobs too. . .
I can't vouch for the authenticity of this, and to my mind 900 seems like a lot more greyhounds than one facility would realistically be using, but even one healthy animal being euthanized is a horrible tragedy.

"Attention:  the Dairyland Race Track in Kenosha, Wisconsin will be
closing on December 31, 2009.  900 greyhounds need to be adopted or they
will be euthanized.  Please help get the word out; there are only 5
weeks to get this done!
Contact Joanne Kehoe, Operations Director @ 312.559.0887; or Dairyland Race Track Adoption Center @ 262.612.8256.  Please repost this to  facebook/twitter/etc and help these dogs."

Thanks, and God bless!
