Have you considered or been looking into rehoming an ex racing greyhound? We get many emails/messages asking for the basics so here is a rundown -
We are based in Workington, on the Western edge of the Lake District and can home all over the North of England and Southern Scotland
All of our dogs come spayed or castrated, fully vaccinated, with a lead and collar, ongoing food and as much help and advice as needed
They make fantastic pets and can generally settle into most situations, in the main they are great with other breeds of dogs, children (we are happy to home to families) and even occasionally cats!
The Greyhound Trust homing fee is £250
Our homing process always starts with a home assessment. This can be done in person or virtually depending on your location, and is a great way for us to find out what we need to about you and for you to ask all of the questions that you have!
Once complete, it’s generally a visit to the kennels to meet some of our dogs and find a hound to fall in love with. We generally work on a trial basis where you take your chosen hound to your home and let them settle in before any paperwork is filed, adoptions only go through once everyone is happy
You can always see a real time view of the dogs that we have available for homing here -
