It's Race Time Again

Yes, once again we're crazy enough to put on our 7th annual run for the hounds. The run this year will be on Sunday 9/12. We're trying a new day this year, so we hope you'll still come out and make this the best run ever. Registration and packet pickup begins at 8:30 and both the 5k run/walk and the 10k run start at 10. It's at Ft. Custer Park again this year. Online registration is now open. A link to a paper application will be up soon. If you want to register online you can click the link below.

Have you ever wondered where our dogs come from and what it's like when we get them? Here's a little video that kind of shows the cycle of getting dogs from the racetracks into homes. Just click on the link below.

Greyhounds from tracks into homes.

Second Chance for Greyhounds Information:
Our organization was founded in 1986 by Helen Banks of Bonita Springs, Florida. Helen was one of the first people to organize and rescue ex-racers, inspired when she discovered the reality of what happens to this graceful breed of dog when they no longer "make the grade" at the race track. Second Chance for Greyhounds expanded into Michigan in 1990. Since then we have placed hundreds of dogs in Michigan and surrounding states. Second Chance for Greyhounds focuses on quality adoptions and quality companion animals. We also take older greyhounds and special-needs greyhounds because they deserve a second chance as well.

Mission Statement:
Second Chance for Greyhounds rescues retired racing greyhounds, matches them with loving families and endlessly works to ban greyhound racing through awareness, promotion, and education.
