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?
Loki - male greyhound
Loki is a handsome chap who should be a great addition to any home. He has been near a small dog and did well on his trip to the town. He might need a little time to gain more confidence but it didn't take him long to come round to all the staff and volunteers at Whittingham so we are sure he will adjust quickly in a home environment.
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.
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 and Evie - male and female greyhounds
Rhino (pictured on the left) 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!
Rhino is being fostered, but needs a permanent home
Foxy - male greyhound
Foxy loves a game and is a very affectionate boy. He has unusual colouring with hints of dalmation! (But he is a full greyhound). He is a little bouncy when he first comes out of his kennel but otherwise walks nicely on the lead.
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!
Sammy - male lurcher
Sammy is a lovely smaller boy who is very affectionate when he gets to know you. He really comes round quickly and is great with other breeds of dog. He's a very special boy who just wants to play. He can be strong on the lead but this should improve as he gets to learn about the world. He is neutered, comes with four weeks free insurance and the same kit as the greyhounds. Sammy is super loving and just wants affection.
Sammy is currently reserved!
Bert- male lurcher
Bert is a larger lurcher and a powerful boy. He is neutered, vaccinated and extremely loving. He is good around the other breeds and wants to play, but he is very strong so we will only be homing him to someone who can definitely manage him. He is super-affectionate and an absolutely lovely boy.
There is interest in Bert pending further work and time!
Xanadu - male greyhound
Xanadu has sadly been returned. He really thrived at home and was clean, great around other breeds and perfect in every way. He would be best suited to a home with older children who can be calm around the dog. He will be the perfect addition for anyone looking to adopt a second dog or first time greyhound. Xanadu is currently reserved!
Sid - Male greyhound
Sid is a lovely boy who has also been waiting for ages for a space in rehoming Kennels. He is a gentle boy who loves a cuddle and is clean in his kennel. He is good around most other breeds with the usual initial care. He is fine around all greyhounds too. He would love to find his special home before winter kicks in.
Caroline - female greyhound
Caroline is a gentle girl who is very placid. She came in with her sister, May. Both have done little racing so will be tested around smaller dogs asap. There is interest in Caroline pending confirmation!
May - female greyhound
May is a gentle and affectionate girl who rolls over for a tummy rub! She came in with her sister, Caroline. Both have done little racing so will be tested around smaller dogs asap. May has found a home!
Lady - female greyhound
Lady is 6yrs old and has been in a home for over 2yrs. Sadly, she is looking for a new home due to the imminent arrival of a new baby. She is a really affectionate dog, very good on the lead and very petite. She does like her own space so we won't be homing her with young children. She is good around most other breeds and house-trained. She will be a great addition for any home. Could you give her the forever home she deserves? She is currently with her adopters until such time as she has to be returned, but we can arrange for her to come to the Kennels if you would like to meet her.
Jet - male greyhound
Jet is a handsome and friendly boy who would love a new home. He is confident and loves everyone he meets. (further description to come as we get to know him)!

Frankie - female greyhound
Frankie is a lovely girl who was very good on the lead on her trip to the town and showed herself to be fine with other breeds with the usual careful introductions. She is very gentle and lovely to walk. She will make a super addition to any home.
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. Further description to come.
