Yesterday I had the pleasure of taking pictures of retired racing greyhounds for the group Greyhound Pets of America. I was working with the Central Florida Chapter on this day.

I am amazed at how friendly these animals are. Two of them were taken among the crowd of people at the racetrack, and both were as friendly as can be. Fellow photographer Chris Haber owns two rescued greyhounds himself, and the first time over at his house my only danger was being slobbered to death…

According to Dennis Tyler, the local chapter president of GPoA, greyhounds typically retire at the age of 2 – 6 years, depending on injuries and racing success. These dogs are then spayed or neutered, and given all of their shots. This chapter supplies dogs for people from Miami Florida, all the way up to New Jersey.
