Dan: A Special Appeal For Help
Dan is our most overlooked dog. A handsome 4 year old boy who is loving, house trained, travels well and is great with children. We can’t understand why he is still waiting to be adopted, but we are asking, please, help us find this boy his forever home soon.
Could you be the right person for this amazing boy? Could you help us spread the word to find him a loving home? Please read on for further information…

This Month’s Walk Is Watchtree Nature Reserve!
Our group walk and get together for June will be at Watchtree Nature Reserve, Wiggonby CA5 6NL, in a circular route enjoying the amazing wildflower meadows, woodland and wetland habitats full of local wildlife.

The walk starts at 10.30am on Saturday, 27th June, 2026. Hope to see you all there!

Amazing Fundraising Achievement!
Our wonderful supporter, adopter, organiser and volunteer Helen, set herself a huge target this year: to raise money for the homeless hounds by completing a 3 part, physically gruelling, momentous Spring Challenge.
Helen planned to run the Cross Border 10k race from Carlisle to Gretna in February, the Carlisle half marathon in March and walk the mighty 96mile West Highland Way in April.

What We Do
We look for forever homes or foster places for retired or injured, ex-racing greyhounds. We never put a healthy dog to sleep and will look for a home for as long as it takes.
We raise all our own funds through events, donations and sales in our charity shop. All our staff are volunteers and all our income is used for the welfare of the dogs in our care.
If you see a greyhound you might like to join your family, or would like to get involved, please call us on 07873 381470 for a brief, no-obligation chat to find out more.
Adopt
Have a look at the greyhounds we have currently waiting to be adopted. Could this be your new best friend?
Foster
Could you help prepare a greyhound for its new life by sharing your home with a dog as a foster carer?
Volunteer
Our Charity is run entirely by volunteers. Could you spare a few hours to help us and the dogs in our care?
Donate
Could you help us with a donation? Everything we raise goes to help the greyhounds. DCGR have no paid staff.
