I live in NSW and I buy a pup locally as an owner and pay a bond. After the dog finishes racing. I follow the rehome guidelines (assumming there are some) and after months of costs to me to cover food/shelter (with my trainer or rearers farm) I still can't rehome the dog due to him being unsuitable or GAP don't have room or no private home wants hims. The dog is put down Do I get my bond back or not ? Is there a black X next to my name ? does my license get taken away ? If my dog is suitable and GAP or rescue groups don't have room. How long am I expected to hand onto the dog and cover his costs. In my last experience this cost far outweighed any bond ? Alternatively if a rehome/rescue group take my dog, irrespective of them going onto rehome (no matter how long) do I get my bond back immediately or does this go towards the rehome groups costs to find him a home ?
