Whittingham's rescued and retired greyhounds and lurchers 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
Coco is a loving boy who is a little apprehensive until he knows you. He's good around other greyhounds and should be fine around smaller dogs with initial care. He deserves a loving home as he was waiting a while for a space. He has had a dental so has lovely fresh breath! He is overlooked for no good reason as he just doesn't push himself forward! Coco is 5yrs 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.
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 until she knows you but does come round with patience and kindness. She would prefer to be the only dog at home, but does walk happily with other dogs, which would give her confidence. She will need a patient and understanding home, without young children as they may be too much for her. She is clean in her kennel and will be really loyal once she trusts you. Abbi is currently reserved (pending final confirmation)!
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 9yrs old (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 did well on his trip to the town where he met other breeds. He has had a dental so has fresh breath and really deserves his chance at a loving home.
Riley - male greyhound
Riley has sadly been 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? He is 5yrs old.
Kathy - female greyhound
Kathy is a distinctive looking girl who is curious about everything and very friendly. She is 3yrs old and very confident. Further description to come as we get to know her. Kathy has found a home!
Adam - male greyhound
Adam is 4yrs old and a loving, friendly chap. He is on the smaller side for a male greyhound and happy to meet everyone with a waggy tail. He loves his walks, is really affectionate and will make a great friend at home. He may prefer to be the only dog in the home as sometimes he can get over-excited with other dogs, but he is generally ok around medium/larger breeds and will just need a little further introduction to smaller dogs.
Sid - male greyhound
Sid is 5yrs old and a large boy with a really big heart to match his size. He is really placid and gentle so don't let him being big put you off! He will make such a loyal and loving boy in a home environment. He shares happily with other greyhounds, has met children and some other breeds and will be tested further with other dogs as soon as possible. Whoever adopts Sid will be so lucky. Sid is currently reserved!
Polly - female greyhound
Polly is a friendly girl who is very loving. She is 4yrs old and really gentle and friendly. She happily shares with other greyhounds and will make the ideal dog for most home situations. Polly has found a home!
Ben - male greyhound
Ben is 3yrs old and such a lovely boy. He's really affectionate and cuddly. He's calm and friendly and will make the ideal dog for many home situations. He was enthusiastic for his first walk but happily walked back to the Kennels once he found his bearings. He's a super boy and we have all got a soft spot for him already!
Vera - female greyhound
Kirsty - female greyhound
Kirsty is 4yrs old (in May) and very playful and loving. She is very slightly apprehensive momentarily but this quickly disappears and is barely worth mentioning! She happily shares with other greyhounds and will make the best girl in a home environment where she is likely to be really loyal.
Ox is 5yrs old and shares happily with Kiwi and other greyhounds. She's affectionate, friendly and petite and really wants a loving home where she can be the love of someone's life!
Kiwi is 3yrs (nearly 4yrs) and shares happily with Ox and other greyhounds. She is also affectionate, friendly and confident. She loves to be up at the kennel door to greet whoever is passing by. She would make a wonderful addition to someone's home.
Pixie is a dear little soul who really wants a loving home as quickly as possible. She has been around other greyhounds without any issue, plays with toys and is clean in her kennel. She is very affectionate. She may prefer to have people around a little as she settles but is calm and gentle. She will be a wonderful addition for a lucky someone.
Martin - male greyhound
Martin is 4yrs old. (photo and further description to come!)
