Dunrunnin Retired Greyhound Rehoming

27/09/2026

Dee and her amazing team have walked 100 miles in one week to fundraise for Dunrunnin, and we were so happy they came to visit us yesterday to meet some of the hounds they are helping 🐾🐾🐾

We would like you to meet our long-term resident, Smartie (Smartie-pants to his friends!). Smartie is currently 7 and will be 8 in November and has lived in one kennel or another all his life - equating to over 3,000 days of life never having known the comfort of a sofa, or the love of a family to call his own. Of course we all love him here at Dunrunnin, having had the pleasure of his company for over 400 of those days. Smartie’s ideal family would have greyhound or large breed experience, perhaps older children, and he could live as an only dog, or with a steady, calm greyhound girl. Although initially quite reactive to other breeds Smartie has been out several times to different country parks and improved every time he goes out. At around 40kg he’s a big lad, hence the need for an experienced, confident owner, but with patience and consistency we have no doubts he will be the best boy. What would you get in return? The most loving, affectionate boy, with the sweetest disposition who deserves so much after waiting so long. Also we should not forget he has the most adorable little mohawk on his neck! If you think you could be the one to show Smartie how good life can be, please do email us at [email protected], or share this post far and wide to see if we can reach that one special person.

Apologies in advance for tugging at your heartstrings with this one! This lovely lady called Millie has found herself in kennels at the grand old age of 10 (in 2 weeks time!). Sadly Millie’s owner became poorly and although better now she can no longer live on her own so has moved into a care home, leaving Millie homeless. So this beautiful frosty faced girl now spends her days sharing a kennel with her quirky kennel mate, and we feel she is really missing her home comforts. She quietly craves attention and when she gets it really leans into it. Although older, she is still sprightly, loves her walks and happily jumps in the car for a trip out. Her owner’s son does take her on occasion to visit the care home, where she is the star of the show and laps up all the cuddles, especially from her old mum. We would love for this to continue if she goes to anyone in the local area. Much as we love her, we really don’t want Millie to have to spend her senior years back in kennels when she is missing her very own special family and creature comforts. If you think you could be the person to stop the ache in Millie’s heart and give her a soft bed to relax on, and plenty of cuddles, please email us at [email protected]

Chas is on a little break from the kennels (after 800 days!) with our fab friends Matt and Angie (and Jess the greyhound!) - check out his antics here. If you think you could be the person to give Chas the chance he needs, please get in touch.

DAY FOUR OF OUR LONESOME BOYS
Smartie - Smartie is definitely not a Smartie-pants, but he’s got the looks. Tall, black, slightly older at 7 years old, he’s one of our biggest dogs at nearly 40kg. Keith has been taking him out over the last few weeks and although very reactive initially, there has definitely been improvement. He’s not completely there yet, so will need a little work and patience but with more exposure he will definitely make it. He’s generally a happy boy, polite and gentle with the humans, can get a little over-excited if there’s a lot going on, so a nice, calm home would suit him down to the ground. Smartie is up to 300 days with us and being slightly older we definitely feel it’s time for him to put his paws up on his own sofa.

DAY THREE OF OUR LONESOME BOYS
King - this 5 year old is a big bundle of love on 4 spindly legs - big being the operative word! He absolutely adores people and seeks affection from all and sundry. His other big love is food and he’s not shy about trying to get on a table to find some, so new owners would have to have clear worktops, all food away. King has recently had several outings with Keith and been very good around other breeds. Other than his size and the fact he’s slightly (quite a bit 😂) like a bull in a china shop, there’s so much to love about this boy and he will repay you for that love with infinite cuddles. King has been with us 320 days - let’s try and get him a home before he hits the year.

💙🐾 DAY TWO OF OUR LONESOME BOYS 🐾💙
Daz - our Daz (Dazzles to his friends) is a slender 5 year old black boy. We have struggled with some health issues with Daz where he was losing weight but there were no real medical reasons for this (apart from slightly low thyroid which is being treated inexpensively), we think possibly depression was a factor. We are finally at the stage now where he is maintaining and even putting on some weight consistently. He used to be a very reluctant walker but now he loves getting out and about and has a real spring in his step. He frequently enjoys ‘tea hut time’ with us and lays quite happily next to Bugley the terrier, however he does need a little more exposure to the outside world to become completely confident. Daz has been with us for 380 days - surely it must be his turn soon especially now he is back to full health.

Over the next few days, I would like to introduce you to 4 special boys who all think they’ve been forgotten and are just waiting for that special someone to come along. Please read and share far and wide, as no dog deserves to have to wait this long for a family to call their own.
💙🐾 DAY ONE OF OUR LONESOME BOYS 🐾💙
Chas - Chas is a big 6 year old blue boy with striking eyes. He is exceptionally polite and gentle around all our staff and volunteers, and loves a cuddle. He has a big fan base with our volunteer walkers, however he is breed reactive, but controllable around other breeds as long as you stay alert and spot them first. For this reason we would like Chas to go to someone with experience of breed reactivity, who will not get complacent after a few months and will continue to use a muzzle at all times when he is out in public. You would also need to be physically fit as he’s a strong lad, although walks beautifully when there are no distractions. 95% of the time he’s a dream dog, the other 5% you just need to have your wits about you. Could you be the one to end his kennel days - currently at 800 days and counting.
If you think you could be the one to give Chas a chance please get in touch and come and meet him - [email protected]
