Greyhound Survivors of Gerogery Bushfire Now Need a Home

Posted by Mary in Greyhound Betting News on 01 18th, 2010 | no responses

They’ve been in the racetrack, have actually entertained a lot of greyhound racing fans and even bettors. But now, they seem invisible to many of these people, no one seems willing to give them a home.

Solly, Anna, Cyan and Daisy are all survivors of Gerogery bushfire. The fire almost killed them but luckily they were able to escape and be rescued. But now, they are facing the misfortune of losing a home.

The greyhounds lost their rearing and racing kennel, which served as their home for a long time. It was really an unfortunate happening, some good greyhounds have been into a tragedy.

Now dog lover Mary-Jane Jaksetic, who looks after the welfare of the greyhounds, said, “it is so sad, ……because they had become a liability rather than an asset”.

And Jaksetic added, “the old girl raced and had a litter of pups but the other three never even made it to the racetrack. I took them in hoping that I could find them a home. I have been advertising and have had any number of calls but so far no takers”.

Jaksetic thinks that people may actually have a wrong perception of the four greyhounds.

“They see them with muzzles and think they have to be vicious when in fact they are anything but,” Jaksetic said.

In addition, she said, “they are the biggest sooks, they are low maintenance and the original couch potato. I’m a dog trainer and have dealt with aggressive dogs but you can do anything to this lot and they’ll still lick you”.

Jaksetic now hopes that the greyhounds will finally have a new home. She believes they are worth keeping, they are a rare kind of greyhounds.

May there be someone who finally adopt Solly, Anna, Cyan and Daisy. May they find a home for themselves. And these, we really just hope and pray.
