NZA New Zealand woman named Julia Gray has adopted two greyhounds and is encouraging others to adopt these dogs as well, as nearly 1500 greyhounds face losing their homes due to the upcoming ban on greyhound racing in the country. The ban is scheduled to take effect on Saturday, prompting a large-scale rehoming initiative aimed at finding new families for the retired race dogs over the next five years. Gray described her greyhounds as 'the most loving, laziest dogs,' emphasizing their suitability as pets for busy households. Co-director of Nightrave Greyhounds, Rachel Rae, noted that the rehoming process might be completed within three years rather than five, given the high demand for greyhounds as pets. Other adopters, such as Wellingtonian Marcus Jackson, are helping former racing greyhounds adjust to life as family pets.
