Langsam kommt auch in Irland die Industrie selber in Schwung.
Mir gefällt das. Zum einen, weil es in er Verantwortung der Züchter, Besitzer
und Nutznießer der Greyhounds ist, sich um ihre Tiere zu kümmern und so sie
auch die finanziellen und zeitlichen Komponenten auf diese Weise selber tragen.
Nebenbei wird das die Empathie für den Greyhound innerhalb der Industrie
fördern. Alles gute Aspekte einer längst fälligen Entwicklung.

August is Greyhound Rehoming Month
Across ten cities and towns throughout the month of August, Strolls to GAIN
Homes will showcase Ireland's best kept secret pet: the Irish greyhound.
Contrary to popular perception, a pet greyhound requires little exercise or special
diet. Many owners confess that their beloved hound spends most of their day on
the couch!
This new campaign kindly supported by GAIN Greyhound Nutrition, will allow the
public to interact with these loveable hounds and discover that they can make for
fantastic pets.
All events are open to the public and all greyhounds are welcome. Spot prizes will
be given to the best presented greyhound.
The Irish Retired Greyhound Trust (IRGT) was established by the Irish Greyhound
Board and is jointly funded together with greyhound owners to rehome greyhounds
after retirement and in promoting greyhounds as domestic pets. Many retired
greyhounds are also rehomed throughout Ireland, Europe and North America
through charities supported by the IRGT.
Barry Coleman Welfare Manager with the IGB commented "Greyhounds make for
excellent pets. They shed very little fur, require little exercise or special diet and
can be quite lazy! Many can go from being an excellent racer to enjoying
retirement on the family couch very quickly. The public are invited to our strolls
and to support us on social media using #StrollsToGAINhomes".
A few rules for dog owners: All dogs on leads, always clean up and please bring
water and bowls.
