These are just some of the dogs currently in our care.
They are part of the seemingly never-ending stream of ex-racing greyhounds and abandoned lurchers who find themselves needing rescue.
Behind every one of these faces is a story. A dog who needs a second chance. A dog who deserves a sofa, a family and someone to love them.
Greyhounds and lurchers make incredible companions. They are affectionate, loyal, gentle souls who ask for so little and give so much in return.
Yet while these dogs wait for their forever homes, there are hundreds more greyhounds and lurchers across the country also waiting to be chosen. Behind them are countless others who will need rescue places in the days, weeks, months and years ahead.
The reality is that rescues like ours are struggling to keep up with demand. Every week there are more dogs needing help than there are foster homes, adopters and spaces available.
But every adoption changes a life.
When one dog leaves for a forever home, it creates space for another dog to be given a chance. One adoption doesn't just save one dog — it helps many more.
So if you are looking for your next dog, please consider adopting a greyhound or lurcher from Kent Greyhound Rescue. All of our dogs live in foster homes, allowing us to understand their personalities and match them with the right home.
These dogs are waiting ❤
