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.
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.
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 it doesn't take him long to come round.
Rhino - male greyhound
Rhino is sadly looking for a new home after a change in circumstance for his adopter. Ideally, he would find a home with another greyhound. He is being fostered in our bungalow by our staff member and his dog. He is good with both male and female greyhounds. He is house-trained, used to the home environment and very affectionate. Rhino was one of our longer-term dogs when he was with us so we would love to find him another home quickly. He will need some more socialising around other dogs and although he can be left for a little while on his own, he would ideally have someone who is around at home. He is an intelligent dog who has fun moments and then sleeps all the time upside down!
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.
Carol - female greyhound
Carol is a lovely girl who loves a cuddle and proved to be good with other breeds on her trip to the town. She just wants to be loved and having a loving home to call her own. Carol had a home for a few days and was clean, calm and settled.
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!
Ginnie - female greyhound
Ginnie is the perfect dog for most home situations - she is good with other breeds with the usual careful introductions; shares happily with other greyhounds and is a gentle girl. She is slightly strong on the lead in new situations but very manageable and an absolute delight. She would be the perfect option for a first time greyhound or an experienced home.
Woofy - male lurcher
Woofy is an 8yr old lurcher who was found with his elderly owner who had collapsed. We agreed to take him in and very sadly, he is looking for a new home after his former owner died. Woofy has had to have a major dental as his teeth were all rotten. So he has no teeth left but this has given him a new lease of life! He must have been in pain and he is now eating well with soft food only. He is great around other breeds and spotlessly clean. Could you offer this older chap a new home? He deserves the best after all he has been through. The photo is from the day of his arrival - he looks much more confident now!
Woofy 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
We have a home offer for Maggie!
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.
We have had home offers for Rocket so just awaiting further testing and he should have a reserve and back up reserve! We will update properly when we know for sure!
Jason - male greyhound
Jason has sadly been returned. He is a loving and confident boy but need someone who can spend time helping him adjust to home life. He is under-weight on his return so won't be ready for homing until he has regained some weight. He is good with other breeds of dog and did test ok with a cat with initial care (but he has not lived with cats so would need careful introduction if it worked). He walks nicely on the lead and loves everyone, including children.
Basil - male greyhound
Basil is a handsome and unusual chap who loves his food and shares happily with other greyhounds. He will be assessed around other breeds asap but is very confident and friendly with everyone he meets.
Basil is currently reserved!
Frilly - female greyhound
Frilly is a lovely girl who sounds like the ideal greyhound! She shares happily with other greyhounds, loves people and should be fine with smaller dogs given the usual careful introductions. She just needs to learn how to behave in a home environment as they all do.
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.
