    The cost of living crisis is striking an unexpected victim - retired racing dogs


    Greyhounds as Pets is hosting its largest ever adoption today in Christchurch after a challenging few years.

    Team Lead Emelia Lake says they've seen a steep decline in adoption numbers as well as an increase in returns - because owners can't afford them anymore.

    She's hopeful numbers will improve this year.

    Emelia Lake's wanting people to know greyhounds are a very viable adoption option.
