Dairyland managers sent a letter to employees last week saying a decision on the track's future will be made no later than Nov. 16. Attendance at the track is down 19 percent compared with last year. Wagering is down 29 percent.
Cliff Swenson of Midwest Greyhound Adoption says if the track closes, hundreds of dogs will need to be adopted quickly. Of 900 dogs at Dairyland, Swenson says between 300 and 600 dogs are expected to be available for adoption with the rest going to other tracks around the country.
