Saturday night will be the last day Tucson Greyhound Park will host its final live dog race. The Greyhound Park has been in existence for 72 years. Placement of 400 dogs has been taking place since greyhound racing was banned in Arizona. Tucson Greyhound Park has over 440 dogs in January and after the governor in Arizona cancelled dog racing earlier last month there was increase in determination to transfer the dogs. With the help of Mary Freeman who is a founding member of Southern Arizona Greyhound Adoption the dogs have been able to find themselves new homes.

Mary Freeman states that about 160 dogs have been moved to Arizona and some of them have been moved to California. She also said that there are a number of dogs that will be transferred to Oregon earlier in the week and they will be sent to different places. Some of the dogs have been sent to Texas in New Mexico. With the help of TGP Freeman has been able to ensure that the dogs are securely placed in homes. Rumour has it that some of these dogs will be sold to hunters but Michael Racy who is a spokesman for Tucson Greyhound Park has come forward to deny the claims.

He said that such a rumour was very upsetting and that there was no evidence to prove that was actually happening. The dogs are under the protection of kennels and around 270 will be adopted. 150 dogs up to 170 will also be in a position to race in the four states that are open to greyhound racing. Even though not all dogs have been placed in homes, Freeman says that her organization is fully dedicated to dogs. She said that victory is when the dogs will be placed in homes and that she had hopes that every dog would find shelter. There has been a website placed online for supporters who would love to help in terms of medicine and shelter for dogs. This is because Southern Arizona Greyhound Adoption still needs medical and shelter expenses.
