Boris - male greyhound
Boris is a loving boy who is quite small for a male greyhound, but he is still quite strong. This would soon improve with regular walks and once out of Kennels. He enjoys his food, is a happy boy and loves everyone! He needs some more careful introductions to other breeds but is otherwise faultless!
Glen - male greyhound
Glen is a happy boy who loves affection. He happily shares and is confident around other greyhounds. He will be tested around other breeds as soon as possible. He looks quite small in the photo but is actually a medium-larger boy (normal greyhound size)! He walks nicely on the lead, seems fine with other breeds (with the usual careful introductions) and loves his food. Update: Glen went home for a few days and was clean, quick to learn and very affectionate.
Ed - male greyhound
Ed is a friendly and handsome fellow who loves a cuddle and shares happily with female greyhounds. He needs some careful introduction to smaller breeds, but is fine with lurchers and bigger dogs. He is a really laid back chap and will slot happily into any home.
There is interest in Ed pending visit and confirmation!
Clive - male greyhound
Clive is a handsome and friendly boy who is confident and happy. He has met a few other breeds and may need some more careful introductions but it won't take him long to realise he can interact happily around other dogs. He is clean in his Kennel and very affectionate.
Sheene - male greyhound
Sheene is a handsome and very gentle boy who just wanted a cuddle when he was having his photograph taken. He seems a very docile and calm fellow who would love to fall on his paws in a special home. Could you be the lucky one to adopt Sheene?
Rocky - male greyhound
Rocky is a beautiful boy who is wary of new people and can bark at visitors. However, it doesn't take him long to trust you and wag his tail so if someone is willing to give him a chance, he will turn into the most loyal and loving boy. He is clean in his kennels, enjoys his food and shouldn't be overlooked because of his initial nervousness. He was good with another dog when visiting the vet for a check-up so should be good with other breeds with the usual initial careful introductions.
There is interest in Rocky (pending confirmation)!
Timmy - male greyhound
Timmy is a handsome boy who is getting used to everything at Whittingham and coming out of his shell. He is a little apprehensive at first but is now very confident, shares happily with Tess and really longs for affection and love.
Tess - female greyhound
Tess and her sister, Peggy have come in to find their homes. Peggy has found a home, but Tess is still with us. She's a dear little soul, gentle and loving and will be a very special girl in the right home. She may need some more interactions with other breeds to get used to them, but this should not take long. She has had a dental so has nice fresh breath too!
Eleven - female greyhound
Eleven (or El) has sadly been returned after 4yrs in a home. There is a new baby in the family and as she prefers her own space, she has had to come back to look for a new home. She really deserves her next home to be her forever home. She is house-trained, used to the home environment and good around other dogs with the usual careful introductions.
Andy - male greyhound
Andy has sadly been returned. He is 6yrs old and would really love a forever home. He is loving, good on the lead and really enjoys playing with his toys. He would thrive with another dog in the home. He will not be homed with small children as he likes his own space when asleep, but is otherwise a really confident and happy chap. He enjoys his food and would love to be back in the warm again. Update: he took a trip to Pets at Home with our volunteers (soon to appear on Tiktok!) and behaved impeccably with small dogs and loved selecting his own toys! He was the perfect boy!
Andy is currently reserved!
Maggie - female greyhound
Maggie is 11yrs old and has sadly been returned after 8yrs at home through no fault of her own. Obviously, this is a really sad case and we will be really keen to find her another home quickly once she has had some dental work. If you can offer her a home, please do email us and let us know: wkretiredgreyhounds@gmail.com
Maggie has found a home!
Rocket - male lurcher
Rocket is a young boy who has lived in a home. He is really affectionate, playful and loving. He would prefer a home without young children. He is good with other breeds and loves everyone. Rocket has absolutely no malice in him but is very playful so would need a home with bigger dogs (if he goes with other dogs) or as a single dog. He is extremely affectionate and rolls over for a tummy rub. He is a real baby and just wants to be back in a home and out of kennels.
Holly - female greyhound
Holly is a confident and happy girl who loves everyone and would really like a new home she can be pampered as she deserves and enjoy adventures beyond kennels. She is friendly with all the other greyhounds and will be tested around smaller dogs as soon as possible.
Missie - female greyhound
Missie is a lovely girl but she is very nervous until she gets to know you. We are sure she will find her confidence before too long, but she will need a patient and understanding home, ideally with another greyhound to offer the guidance she needs. She will be tested around other breeds as soon as possible.
Katie - female greyhound
Katie is a really friendly girl who loves everyone, even before she knows you! She's super friendly, happy to share with other greyhounds and will be tested around smaller dogs as soon as possible. She will be a fantastic addition to any home.
Will - male greyhound
Will was quite nervous and worried when he arrived, but we are sure he will come round when he trusts everyone and adjusts to life at Whittingham. Will did well on his trip to the town where he encountered other breeds without issue. He will be worried by unknown people but once he adjusts to the world and looks to you for reassurance, he will be the most loyal dog.
Lance - male greyhound
Lance is a super boy in immaculate condition on arrival and really loving and friendly. He wants to love and be loved and is so affectionate. He will be tested around other breeds as soon as possible but seems a very placid and calm boy. Whoever adopts Lance will be very lucky indeed. Lance is currently reserved!
Fi - female greyhound
Fi has lived in a home for 6 weeks but has sadly been returned. She is a lovely dog and was immediately reserved again on the afternoon of her return to Kennels.
Fi is currently reserved!
Wizz - male greyhound
Wizz is a loving and happy boy who is very calm around the other greyhounds. Wizz was fine with a small visiting dog and also did well on his trip to the town. He is a confident and happy chap who loves company and really wants a home.
Bono - male greyhound
Bono came in with Wizz and is also a confident and happy boy. Bono did well with other breeds when he visited the town so should be ok with initial care. He is clean in his kennel and no trouble at all in the Kennels.
Bono has found a home!
Ashes - male lurcher
Ashes is such an affectionate boy. He's livelier than the greyhounds but so gentle. He is slightly strong on the lead but this is just enthusiasm and will quickly subside as he is taken out more regularly. He should be fine with other breeds with sensible introduction.
Ashes is currently reserved!
Joyce - female greyhound
Joyce is a gentle girl. She is good with the other greyhounds and walked well when she visited the town, behaving around other dogs with initial care. She's very slightly dubious when she first meets new people but quickly wags her tail. Joyce is currently reserved!
Annie - female greyhound
Annie is a confident and happy girl. She walks nicely on the lead and should be fine around other breeds with initial careful introduction.
Nidge - male greyhound
Nidge is 7yrs old and sadly been returned after 3.5yrs at home. He is affectionate and confident. He is house-trained and used to the home environment but won't be homed with young children as he likes his own space. He only has four teeth after a major dental but this doesn't affect him and he can still eat well, with food slightly softened for him. He will be assessed again around other breeds.
Danny - male greyhound
Danny is a lovely boy who is very nervous until he knows you. This makes him quite strong on the lead. But he will quickly come round and we did get a tail-wag after just one afternoon. (Further description to come as we get to know him).
Woody - male greyhound
Woody is a friendly and gentle boy (further description to come as we get to know him).
We also have one long term resident, Jerry, who is not on the website and needs the right home.
