Christine Lenfant

Christine Lenfant, 60, adjusts the collar on one of her six greyhounds at the dog park in Mountlake Terrace, April 19. Lenfant is passionate about rescuing greyhounds and rescued her first in 2006. “In the U.S. greyhounds are seen as livestock,” said Lenfant. Two puppies are picked from every litter for racing and the rest of them are killed she said. Lenfant has rescued greyhounds in all types of situations, from a dog that won 50 races to a greyhound puppy, which is rare to find. Rescuing greyhounds can be expensive because they are sold for thousands of dollars if they are going to race.
