Rescue groups like Ms Ramsay's say they are run off their feet because of the sheer volume of greyhounds bred to race.
GWIC believes that about 4,000 pups a year is sustainable, and says it's committed to rehoming every single greyhound that is born into the industry. "The more puppies that make successful racers puts downward pressure on breeding numbers and puts downward pressure on the rehoming supply chain," Ms Lind said.Animal welfare groups are calling for whole of life tracking for greyhounds which they believe will eliminate the gap between those bred into the industry and the far fewer number that end up rehomed.
"It cannot track any greyhound that is on the Companion Animals Register and is owned by a non-industry participant."
The rental market is tight.
