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.
If you can offer a kind loving home to one of these beautiful gentle animals it would be much appreciated.
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.
The Cornish contacts for anyone interested in rehoming greyhounds in Cornwall are:
- Geoff Pearce, at the Cornwall branch of the Retired Greyhound Trust on 01872 560629.
- Sandra at the Russet Greyhound Sanctuary in Camborne on 01209 831177.
Please note although I love greyhounds, own one and have pages about them on my web site, I am not actually involved with the rehoming process.
Some photographs and details of greyhounds available for rehoming can be found on their Adopt a Greyhound page.
Meet, greet and walks with the greyhounds
We had a great time on our regular monthly Sunday stroll with other greyhounds and their owners at Portreath in November. Just check out the links below to see lots of photographs taken at our events.
Come and join us for our regular monthly Sunday stroll with other greyhound owners. These "Meet, Greet and Walk with the Greyhounds" are held on the 3rd Sunday of each month, in a number of locations around Cornwall.
You don't have to own a Greyhound or a dog, but you are more than welcome to come along to meet the greyhounds and chat to existing owners.
Next walk: - Sunday, 19th January 12 - Trelissick Woods Start point National Trust car park, Trelissick Gardens Map Ref SW835395
This months walk is at Trelissick woods, approx 3-4 mile, 1½ - 2 hours duration. Directions: - From Playing Place take the B3289 (heading towards the King Harry Ferry), after approx 1 mile turn left at the X roads (still on the B3289 heading towards Trelissick Gardens/King Harry Ferry). In about 1 mile turn right into the National Trust Car Park (fee payable £3.50 - if not a National Trust member). Walk Starts at 2.00pm.
If you are attending one these organised walks with a dog, it is expected that as well as clearing up after your dog/s they should remain on a lead at all times to protect both the dogs and our reputation. We need to be ambassadors for the Greyhounds.
