FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — With all of the Fidos in forever homes, Hollydogs Greyhound Adoption, the nonprofit organization created in 1995 to save South Florida’s retired racers, has closed its doors.
The Bonita Springs shelter made the announcement on its Facebook page.
“Back in the early 90′s, we made a promise to all those greyhounds that had no place to go,” the statement read. “We promised that we will make it our mission to rescue and find homes for as many dogs as we could... till there were none left. And so we did, today after 27 years of greyhound rescue. ... It seems like a dream, but it is a bitter sweet dream.”
