(Ages are available upon request)
Timmy - male greyhound
Timmy is a handsome boy who shares happily with female greyhounds and really longs for affection and love. He was a little apprehensive on arrival, but there is no sign of that now as he is full of confidence with those he knows and always at the door looking for the next piece of excitement or to stick his head out of the door to get the attention of the next passing human! He would love to find a home. He is 4yrs old.
Manny - male greyhound
Manny is a lovely boy who loves everyone and adores a cuddle. He shares happily with the female greyhounds. He is quite bouncy but really affectionate. He is always up for saying hello to the visitors and is a happy, friendly chap. He is 3yrs old
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. Could you help Magic get back into a loving home? He is 3yrs old
Spirit - female greyhound
Spirit is a gentle and loving girl who is quiet in the Kennels and clean. She will be tested around other breeds as soon as possible but seems the ideal dog! She is great with the other greyhounds and travels well in the car. She seems the ideal first time greyhound too. She is 3yrs old.
Midus - male greyhound
Midus has sadly been in a home for 8 months but been returned. He is perfect with small dogs, good on the lead and used to the home environment. He will need a home without young children as he likes his own space. So an experienced home is preferred. He will make the ideal dog for many home situations.
Diva is another gentle girl who was slightly apprehensive on arrival. But she found her confidence quickly and we are confident that she will also find her confidence at home when she is chosen. She's a calm girl and should be fine around other breeds with the usual careful introductions.
Carl - male greyhound
Carl is 4yrs old and a handsome chap who is really relishing all the new experiences. He joined a group walk, is loving meeting our visitors and has met a whippet. He's slightly strong on the lead but very manageable and would love a new home where he can enjoy the adventures of life beyond kennels.
Mabel - female greyhound
Mabel is a dear little soul who had to be rushed to the vet when she arrived with us. Her spay wound had opened and she had to be saved by our vets. We are so grateful to them for their immediate action and care for Mabel. Mabel was so gentle throughout the whole process and will be ready for homing once she is recovered. She is good with other breeds, extremely gentle and very placid. She is young so may need patience as she adjusts to home life but she deserves a very special home after all she has had to endure. Update: sadly Mabel is back after just a few days at home. She has learnt house-training, been playful and loving so we hope she will find a special forever home as soon as possible. Mabel has found a home!
Edmund - male greyhound
Edmund is 5yrs old and a friendly, happy boy. He has met a few other breeds but will be tested as soon as possible by us too. He's a little bouncy when he gets excited before going for a walk, but this would quickly subside when he gets used to routines. He would love a great home and shouldn't be overlooked as another black greyhound. Each of them is unique with their own character and all are looking for a loving home.
Charlie - male lurcher
Charlie was brought into us after one of our adopters found out that his owner had died. He is good with other breeds, house-trained and affectionate. He can be a little nervous at first, but quickly comes round and is a lovely boy.
Charlie has found a home!
Tiny - female greyhound
Tiny is 3yrs old and a lovely, placid lady. She will be tested around other breeds as soon as possible but is confident and happy upon arrival at Whittingham.
Gee - male greyhound
Gee is 3yrs old. He's slightly unsure to begin with but quickly comes round and loves cuddles. He shares happily with other greyhounds and is a gentle soul. He happily plays with toys in the paddocks and once he trusts you, he will be a devoted and loyal boy.
Dave - male greyhound
Dave is 3yrs old and a happy, confident chap who loves everyone. He has been waiting post-racing for a while for a space to come up so we hope he will soon find a loving home to enjoy adventures beyond kennels. He will be tested around other breeds as soon as possible but happily shares his kennel with other greyhounds.
Pebbles - female greyhound
Pebbles is 3yrs old and a very affectionate girl who loves a cuddle. She's good on the lead and has been to the town for assessment. She's confident and friendly and should be ok with other breeds with initial careful introductions. She is small for a female greyhound and whoever adopts Pebbles will be extrememly lucky.
Beauty - female greyhound
Beauty is 5yrs old and a very quiet and gentle girl. She is good on the lead and did well during her assessment to the town around other dogs. She's clean in her kennel and will make such a lovely addition to any home.
Pablo - male greyhound
Pablo is 4yrs old and an extremely loving boy who loves a cuddle. He's used to promoting greyhounds as often attended promotional events with his trainer when he went around shaking a donation bucket for funds for retired greyhounds. He has met children at all these events and was a really loving boy with everyone he met. He's only ever been in one other kennels in his life and has adjusted very well to life at Whittingham as he's a confident and happy boy. He even had his own twitter page whilst he was racing.
There is interest in Pablo (pending cat test).
Maggie - female greyhound
Maggie is 5yrs old and a really friendly and gentle girl. She will be introduced to other dogs as soon as possible and will make a lovely addition to any home. She shares happily with Pablo and so is great with other dogs.
