Retired Greyhound Trust in Cornwall
The Retired Greyhound Trust
The Retired Greyhound Trust rehome retired and ex-racing greyhounds throughout Cornwall and nationally.
With over 50 years experience, the Retired Greyhound Trust pride themselves on finding the right greyhound for the right home and the right home for the right greyhound.
The Cornwall branch is run entirely by volunteers, who live throughout Cornwall and between them are able to cover the whole county of Cornwall. The local branch rent kennel spaces which are located just outside Penryn and also use foster carers around the County.
If you can offer a kind loving home to one of these beautiful gentle animals it would be much appreciated.
The Retired Greyhound Trust urgently need more foster homes for retired greyhounds here in Cornwall, for which expenses can be paid. Foster Homes without Cats would be especially appreciated. Their ages would range from 1-10 years old.
All homes are subject to a "Home check". Once the "Home check" has been approved they will endeavour to help you choose a greyhound that is best suited. It can be arranged for you to meet your chosen greyhound prior to homing.
Although I love greyhounds and have pages about them on my web site, I am not actually involved with rehoming.
The Cornish contact for anyone interested in rehoming greyhounds in Cornwall is Jill Nicholls (01326 212430), dogs available in Cornwall for adoption can be found on their Adopt a Greyhound page.
