Here are a few of our high profile adopters/supporters espousing the virtues of adopted greyhounds:

| Amanda with Peter |
Amanda Drew (Greyhound Adopter and Actor with extensive roles in theatre, television and film).
She will be a familiar face for Eastenders' fans and recently appeared in A Very British Scandal (BBC) |
| Ron |
I was lucky enough to come across Whittingham Kennels in 2007 when I adopted my first greyhound, an incredible dog called Ron.
In 2016, after Ron had passed, I adopted Lobby or Peter as I came to call him.
Both dogs were incredibly sweet natured, gentle souls who made wonderful companions after their racing careers had ended.
Ron was known as the Chelsea Therapist by all who knew him as he had such a calming influence on any dog or human in his presence.
Peter was an absolute softie who adored cuddles and was very fond of his toys and his special spot in the garden where he would love to snooze away the day".

Kenneth Jay (Greyhound Adopter and Actor)
Best known for appearing in "Big Nothing", "Wonder Woman 1984", "Woman in Gold" and recently "Doctor Who".
"Once you have adopted a greyhound, you'll be hooked for life! So think carefully before adopting a greyhound!!
Slender, beautiful, loving, noble, playful, mischievous, gentle and persuasive.
An exquisite combination of spirited and serene. They can prance like deer, run like cheetahs, stalk like lions - squirrels beware!
I speak from the experience of having had three greyhounds as pets over the past 20 years. And they've all been a joy.
Like any dog, they can be challenging and the ride may not always be smooth. But the rewards are sheer bliss".

Fi Glover - journalist and presenter on Times Radio
Nancy was adopted from Whittingham Kennels and adopting Nancy was, to quote, Fi, "One of the best things we have ever done"!
Nancy lives with a cat and children and is a great ambassador for greyhound adoption.
