Rescue Greyhounds

When choosing a dog breed, it is possible to choose a rescue dog and have a specific dog breed in mind. This is especially true if you are thinking of choosing a Greyhound.

There are many, many Greyhounds hoping to be given a new home after being left at shelters or pounds. So many need rehoming because, as racing dogs, many are not wanted when their racing days are over do if they do not show enough promise as a racer.

Sadly, there is a misconception that Greyhounds are difficult pets. In fact they are lovely, gentle dogs who don’t require a great deal of exercise (around two 20 minute walks a day). Their penchant for sleeping also makes them easy to look after.

Some Greyhounds don’t like cats, so a ‘cat test’ may be necessary if you have one.

There are lots of Greyhound rescue centres, there is probably one near you.

It’s wonderful to be able to give a rescue dog a loving home when you choose a dog breed.
