What is the Retired Greyhound Trust?
What do we do?
- Find homes for as many retired greyhounds as possible.
- Place some retired greyhounds in approved kennels.
- Seek out new people willing to give a retired greyhound a home and check that they are suitable.
- Ensure that dogs placed in homes are healthy.
- Highlight to the greyhound racing industry the importance of providing a good life for retired greyhounds.
- Raise money to support its work.
Greyhounds make great pets!
The Retired Greyhound Trust believes greyhounds make wonderful pets and it works to ensure they have a good life following their racing careers.
Despite popular misconceptions, greyhounds in general, are:
- Gentle and adaptable
- Lazy couch potatoes happy with a couple of short walks a day
- Loving companions who can live easily with children and other pets.
See for yourself: contact your nearest branch and arrange to go and meet some of the dogs.
