Thank you!

Update: We are homing again on strict social distancing terms and by an appointment only system. (There will be no entry to anyone who has had symptoms in the last 14 days) for your own protection and that of our staff. We look forward to hearing from you if you would like to adopt a greyhound! Thank you!

At the moment we are not able to accept new volunteers. Thank you for your understanding.

FEEDING

Please ensure you are feeding your greyhounds enough food. We have a recurring problem with dogs being underfed. Ribs and hip bones should be nicely covered and not protruding. (Of course, some greyhounds are naturally more slender but as a general rule, bones should not be sticking out). Three large mugs of biscuits plus something tasty for the boys... and slightly less for the girls is the general rule of thumb. Boys generally weigh between 32-39kg and girls between 26-33kg (depending on the size of the dog). We give out feeding guides so please email if in doubt.

FOR ALL VISITORS TO WHITTINGHAM

Update: DEFRA has now stated that we have to temporarily close to abide by the new restrictions. We are allowed to open by appointment to our own adopters, but we will not be able to welcome new visitors until restrictions ease. We have been working to a safer regime than the guidelines have previously suggested (but still doing home visits/deliveries exchanging paperwork outside etc), but this is even more restrictive (and we will never let our dogs go out without proper checks/meeting people first). So please do continue to enquire and we will contact you as soon as we can do so once restrictions ease. If we know you, please also enquire and we can match you appropriately if we have a suitable dog. In those cases, we are homing on strict social distancing terms and by an appointment only system. (There will be no entry to anyone who has had symptoms in the last 14 days) for your own protection and that of our staff. We look forward to hearing from you if you would like to adopt a greyhound! Thank you!
