TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - Hundreds of greyhounds are looking for new homes as the Tucson Greyhound Park is preparing to stop racing.

The Tucson track is the last one in the state, but a bill that is expected to be signed into law by Governor Doug Ducey would end live racing in Arizona.

If it becomes law, it would not go into effect until the end of the year. However, the attorney for Tucson Greyhound Park Michael Racy said they are beginning to prepare now.

That means many of the kennels that have dogs racing at the track are trying to find them adoptive and foster homes. Racy estimated between 300 and 400 greyhounds need to be adopted.

1. I hope

The many greyhound rescue groups in the western states will be assisting with this endeavor.

3. I hope so, too, UtahLib.

I had no idea that there were that many (400 or more) dogs involved.

2. Someone should paint buses on their sides!

I crack me up.

4. If you understood the fate that awaits these lovely dogs if they don't find homes,

maybe you wouldn't be making such comments.
