> Within the last 24hours a small group of dogs moved from Birmingham to
> Victoryland, Alabama. It was understood that all of these dogs were to
> continue their racing career. Due to an unfortunate communication error,
> between 6 and 8 of these fine dogs were scheduled for retirement, not for

> has been overwhelming. Instead of returning the dogs to Birmingham they
> agreed to care for this small group of dogs until they were taken in to a
> quality adoption program.
>
> Here's where we need your help. Put the word out and help take action on
> this situation. Please understand these dogs are all in fine condition, are
> being well fed and are under the best of care by the trainers and kennel
> operators at Victoryland. However, it is a financial burden on these fine
> people to care for another kennel's retired greyhounds.
>
> The key man at Victoryland is Kennel Operator Robert Lambert. Bob is a good
> man and has taken these beautiful dogs under his care until someone in the
> adoption community can help. Bob has given me his phone number so that you
> may contact him directly. Please call Bob at 334-430-4537.
>
> We need your help. Just as Robert Lampert and the generous trainers and
> kennel operators at Victoryland have stepped up to care for these retired
