Welcome To The Dumfriesshire And Cumbria Greyhound Rescue Website

Rehoming Greyhounds Since 2002.

We find new, forever homes for retired or injured ex-racing greyhounds.

We never put a healthy dog to sleep and will look for the right home for as long as it takes,
caring for all aspects of their welfare until then.

Please have a look at our homeless greyhounds and contact us for more information about adopting or fostering.

Can You Offer A Homeless Dog A New Start?

We have rehomed over 2,000 dogs in just over 20 years but there are still greyhounds waiting for safe and loving homes.
Do you have room in your heart and home for one of these gentle animals? They need your help.

We are a registered charity entirely staffed by volunteers who raise all our own funds for the greyhounds in our care.
You may not be able to adopt a dog, but could you help us in other ways? Contact us to get involved.

Please Help

Loyal, Loving, Relaxed & Gentle.

Contact us today for more information on living with a greyhound.

You might be surprised how easy they are to care for and how affectionate they are to live with.

Adopt a greyhound with our help. Make a new best friend and change their life forever.
