This page is devoted to Rescue Greyhounds.

Since March 2007 when we adopted Buster, a 4 year old ex-racing greyhound, our lives have changed forever, but all for the better!

Over 9,000 greyhounds retire from racing each year.  Only a percentage of them find good, loving homes.

This page is dedicated to rescue greyhounds, and aims to promote them as the wonderful pets that they are, and dispel some of the myths that surround them.

Canine and Equine massage.  Great for competitive horses and dogs - or those pets that have had injuries.  Buster's leg has improved through regular massage.

A fantastic rescue organisation that endeavour to find homes for many greyhounds in the Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire and home Counties.

Full information on keeping greyhounds can be accessed via this site.

Some greyhounds detrain easily to live with other breeds of dog, cats and small furries.  However, some don't.

Time and patience is the key with any rescued animal, especially one that has not lived in a house before. 

Two 20 minute walks a day usually suffice to keep most greyhounds happy.  A comfortable bed, toys and things to chew are also highly appreciated.

It goes without saying that dogs must have access to fresh water at all times.

We feed Buster a few handfuls of kibble (as a mixer) and raw meat (about 500g a day) split into two meals, morning and evening.

Care must be taken not to exercise a greyhound on a full stomach. Allow an hour or two to elapse before or after feeding.

Greyhounds are naturally lean dogs so well-padded dog-beds are best for them.

All greyhound rescues rely on fundraising.
