 900 Greyhounds will need to be adopted otherwise they will be
euthanized, now is a great time to consider adopting a Greyhound. They
are very loving and laid back. They don't need the space people think
they need. They are great for an active family because they have been
crated almost all their lives and they sleep about 18 out of the 24
hours a day. They are just looking for someone to love them and supply
them with a warm bed!!!!
  They test the dogs to see if they are cat friendly and or small dog
friendly. They also know if a dog should be a single dog or if they
would be great in a 2, 3, or 4 dog house!!!
Please help me get the word out; we only have 6 weeks to get this task done.

The snopes link you send Claudia is not accurate. This is a real situation in WI.  This is not a shelter closing, this is a Greyhound racing track closing.

See the e-mail from Anne Cassens to the group for more information.
