Whittingham's rescued and retired greyhounds looking for adoption in Essex, London, Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and beyond.
To adopt a greyhound, please email wkretiredgreyhounds@gmail.com
(new arrivals/returns will be placed at the end of the list)
Magic - male greyhound
Magic has sadly been returned. He has lived with another greyhound and small dog but is nervous with men so would be best with a quiet household and one used to dogs with this trait. He is a loving boy once he gets to know you but does need his own space and quiet time. Update: Magic is a little temperamental with people he doesn't know so we will only be homing him with someone who he knows/can take on this odd trait. It is so unusual for greyhounds so he will have to go to the right home. Could you help Magic get back into a loving home? He is 3yrs old
Coco - male greyhound
Harry (was Harrison) - male greyhound
Harry has sadly been returned. He is affectionate and used to the home environment. He is clean, good on the lead and getting used to other breeds. Could you help him get back into a loving home and find his special place? He is 5yrs old.
Bertie - male lurcher
Bertie is a confident and affectionate little soul who would love a special home. We were asked to take him in after he served his time after being found as a stray. He is neutered and vaccinated and spotlessly clean in his kennel. He will be playful and is good with other breeds, although can be apprehensive around bigger dogs. He is estimated to be about 2yrs old.
Legend - male greyhound
Legend is 6yrs old. He looks much older (but he says the grey is just wisdom so don't judge him!). He is a loving and happy boy who just wants to be loved. He shares happily with the female greyhounds and should be fine around smaller breeds with the usual careful introduction.
Pickles - female greyhound
Pickles was not originally homed by us but needed somewhere to go when her adopter became too unwell to care for her. She is 8yrs old (9yrs in February). She has been a home for 4yrs so is house-trained, used to the home environment and adjusted to home life. She will need a dental before being rehomed again but she will make the perfect addition to any home. She is gentle, loving and affectionate and loves her toys and comfy bed. Could you help Pickles get back into a loving home? Pickles is currently reserved!
Penny - female greyhound
Penny is a gentle girl who is slightly more apprehensive than Lily and Genie (who she came in with). She will make a fantastic addition to the home as when she trusts you, she will be even more loving. She wags her tail to greet people but just needs a bit more time to warm up. She will come round quickly and walks really nicely on the lead. She is clean in her kennel and enjoys her food. She is 6yrs old (in March). Penny is perfect with small dogs and will make such a good addition to any home. Penny is currently reserved!
Bruno - male greyhound
Bruno is a handsome boy who is good with other greyhounds and will be tested with other breeds as soon as possible. He is really affectionate and loves everyone. He is quiet and clean in his kennel and will make a great addition to the home. He walks nicely on the lead, is really loving but also undemanding. What a lovely boy! He is 5yrs old. Bruno is currently reserved!
Bailey - male lurcher
Bailey is a handsome and different looking chap who is so loveable. He is strong on the lead but walks better with a harness. He's playful and happy and really deserves a special home. He seems fine with other breeds (with the usual initial care) and is happy and cuddly. He is clean in his kennel too. There is interest in Bailey pending confirmation!
Guinness - male lurcher
Guinness is such a lovely boy. He is worried by new people (more so by men), but he quickly trusts and is so affectionate and calm. He will be such a loyal friend once he knows you. He is good with other breeds according to our initial tests and clean in his kennel.
Money is 2yrs old (3yrs in April). He's a happy and confident chap who did well around other dogs on his trip to the town. He shares happily with female greyhounds and is a lovely boy. He has a terrible name though - so someone needs to change that!
Liam - male greyhound
Liam is a loving and happy boy who came in with Money and Abbi. He happily shares with the female greyhounds and is confident and friendly. He can be slightly strong on the lead, but this will quickly improve as he gets used to everything whilst out and about. He did well on his trip into town when he encountered other breeds so should be ok with initial careful introduction. He is 4yrs old.
Abbi - female greyhound
Abbi is 4yrs old. She is very nervous at the moment but we hope she will come round quickly, particularly if she shares with another greyhound and gains confidence from a confident dog. She will need a patient and understanding home, without young children as they may be too much for her. Further description to come!
Diamond - female greyhound
Diamond is a chunky girl and a beautiful dog. She was a little apprehensive when she first arrived but that is to be expected as it is a change where everything is new. But once she knows the routine and knows you, she is extremely affectionate and excited to greet you. She is clean and tidy in her Kennel and a really lovely dog.
Nassa - male greyhound
Nassa is 5yrs old and a really loving and happy chap. He was very enthusiastic when he arrived at the Kennels and was wagging his tail with excitement at everything he encountered. He is a lovely boy who will be tested around other breeds as soon as possible, but is happy to share with other greyhounds.
Drummer- male greyhound
Drummer is 8yrs old (9yrs in March). He is an older boy who deserves a special home quickly so he can enjoy life beyond Kennels. He shares happily with other greyhounds and will be tested with other breeds as soon as possible.
Riley - male greyhound
Riley is sadly due to be returned. He is good with bigger dogs but does need further socialising around smaller dogs (but is manageable and should learn quickly). He will need a home without young children, but is extremely affectionate and loyal to adults. He was quiet at night and settled well into the home environment. So he has an advantage over the others, knowing what it is like to be in a home. Could you give Riley the chance of a permanent home?

We also have Pablo who needs a special home. He is good with other breeds and other greyhounds but needs his own space when in his bed. Pablo has found a home!
