Welcome to the Greyhoundhomer RGT website!
We hope you enjoy your visit and you find this a useful
and informative website. Staff at Greyhoundhomer RGT have been homing retired racing Greyhounds
since 2006 and have homed over 1000 dogs since starting
up. Greyhounds make truly wonderful pets, and many who
take on a Greyhound find the experience so fulfilling
that they soon find themselves drawn to a second dog.
Greyhounds are loyal, friendly, funny, affectionate, gentle, quiet, clean,
loving, sensitive, trusting, good natured and generally very lazy! To
the right of this text you can see a
slideshow featuring some of the dogs we've
homed this year.
Like all homing organisations
Greyhoundhomer has it's fair share of older
girls & boys looking for homes and a number
of dogs who for some reason have been with
us a long while, and returnees. So if you're looking to
take on a hound please don't overlook some
of our older, longer term or returnee residents!
Greyhounds can live to between 13 and 15
years old and therefore even an older dog
should have plenty of good times ahead with
you. For further information about any of
the Greyhounds below please contact Pat or
Elaine:
Paddy is a returnee,
having been in a home since 2008. He's come back due to
a change in family circumstances, and is currently
actually living in Elaines house since at the age of
almost 11 he really can't go back in the kennels. Paddy
is a very quiet dog who, eats, walks and sleeps so is
very easy to look after, and is of course house trained.
If you have room in your life for a lovely old timer,
please give us a call, 01279 501 899.
Mick
is such a happy boy that his whole body wags when he has
human company. He loves his walks and his treats and has
such a vibrant personality. He has been overlooked for a
fairly long time now as many of our black beauties often
are. He is a fairly strong energetic dog who would suit
an active family and it would be lovely to see him homed
this winter.
Jody
is a very well behaved, loving dog. He gently trots up
to the fence to meet people but doesn’t jump up, he just
wants some attention. He has such a fantastic smile and
you just can’t fail to smile back at him. He has a fantastic smile.
Sheila is a lovely girl
who been in a couple of homes now and as such is house
trained, on each occasion she has unfortunately been
returned and we really need to get her into a forever
home. Sheila cannot be homed where there are already
cats or other small furries.
It must be great being Dom
Booty, life is so exciting! He was a bit strong on
the lead when he first came in but has now settled down.
He probably wouldn’t get on with cats. He is a
lively affectionate boy who would make a great pet for
an active family.
Swift is a handsome black dog that
walks very well. He has a very ‘majestic’ character
about him and enjoys attention. Although he can be a bit
domineering towards other dogs he does get along with
them.
