The Adoption Process.

So you're interested in adopting one of our wonderful Greyhounds… What happens next?

The first step in the adoption process is to telephone Celia on 01592 890583 to have a chat. We will ask you some questions to ascertain whether a Greyhound is right for you and tell you a little about the breed. You can ask us as many questions as you want, that's what we're here for!
We also want to match the right dog to the right person so everyone is happy! However, we do request that you don't have a cat or small dog and you don't have very young children. Ideally you should also have a fenced in garden, preferably 6ft.

If you decide that you want to go ahead, we will arrange for you to have a home check. Like all other good animal rescue organisations, we check all prospective homes thoroughly as we need to ensure that your home is suitable for a rescue Greyhound. This also gives us (and you!) a chance to have a good chat about the dog that is suitable for you.

Once we have completed a successful home check we will deliver your Greyhound to you and ensure that he / she settles in okay. We ask for a donation of £40 when you adopt your Greyhound. This is to cover costs incurred such as vaccinations and also pays for a special collar, lead and muzzle for your new Greyhound. Neutering can be arranged prior to adoption at extra cost.

Finally, you will be asked to sign an Adoption Agreement. This is to say that you have adopted the dog and covers various important points relating to your adoption and future care of the dog.

The adoption process is extremely straightforward but is necessary to ensure the future wellbeing of the dog. It is also to ensure that you and your new dog have a long and happy partnership!

If you require any more advice, or have any questions about adopting a Greyhound, please do not hesitate to call us for a chat:
