Lincolnshire Greyhound RescueWe are a new rescue, helping unwanted Greyhounds from the racing circuits and dog pounds. Due to the sheer amount of dogs bred to find that premier racing dog - lots end up being not suitable for racing and unless we find them homes they are at risk of being put to sleep. There is nothing wrong with the health of dog, they are just not good enough to make the elite few for racing. We always have greyhounds looking for homes sometimes even young puppies. Please call Wendy for further details 07766124364 after 6pm We don't have a centre ourselves, we get given a list of dogs that may be put to sleep unless we find a new home, a temporary foster home or a rescue centre anywhere in the UK willing to take them. All the dogs are speyed, neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. To continue with our vital work we ask for a donation of £120 for the dog, so we can rescue others waiting to come in. This pays for transportation throughout the UK, neutering and medical bills for that or other dogs needing attention and emergency boarding when needed. We do home check, neuter, vaccinate and have a none distruct policy. Email address of the person who will be posting the animals - nikmurphy@btinternet.com Website: www.lincolngreyhounds.co.uk/ |

Lurcher LinkLurcher Link is a voluntary organisation whose aim is to try and save Lurchers' lives by liaising between rescues, stray pounds and members of the public. Many Lurchers are destroyed each week because the stray pounds are full and the local rescues have no room for any more dogs either. Yet in other parts of the country, people are looking for Lurchers to rehome. We wish to rectify this situation by being a point of contact for all rescues, the public and stray centres. If you can offer us help, practically or financially, or wish to avail yourself of our services, please contact us: Website: www.lurcher.org |

Lurcher SOSWe are a small voluntary non-profit making rescue based in Surrey. Our aim is rescue and home abused, abandoned and neglected Lurchers and greyhounds in both the UK and Ireland. These dogs come to us for various reasons, some are strays, some have been ill treated and some need to find a new home because their owners no longer want them. We will also try to help other sighthounds and other sighthound rescues wherever possible. All our dogs are placed in foster homes. All dogs will be throughly assessed before going to their new homes to ensure as perfect a match between dog and owner as is possible. All prospective homes will require a homecheck. All gardens must be escape proof and fully secure. We will not home our dogs to hunting homes. All our dogs are microchipped, wormed, vaccinated flea treated and neutered before going to the new home. We prefer dogs to go to homes within 200 miles of our rescue, but will not rule out homing further afield if the home is right. Fosterers in all areas are very welcome (A homecheck is necessary). We rely entirely on voluntary donations. Website: www.lurchersos.org.uk |

TailendsTailends is based in Croyde in north Devon. Tailends exists to take in elderly or terminally ill dogs (often - but not exclusively - greyhounds). Our dogs come from situations of abuse or neglect and are unlikely to be re-homed in the normal way. The greyhounds have normally lived their entire lives in kennels - initially as racing dogs and then kept in bleak conditions out of sight of the general public and with no chance of a home. They have rarely received any veterinary care or pain relief. Some have been fed poor quality food and had infrequent access to clean fresh water. They have sometimes been housed, without coats or proper bedding, in kennels that provide limited protectionfrom the weather. They commonly suffer from crippling diseases, untreated infections or old injuries. Our Mission... Tailends provide immediate veterinary treatment, warmth, comfort, loving care, appropriate walks and good quality food. Sometimes we can successfully treat and considerably extend the life of the dog. Sometimes we can only ensure that they receive the best veterinary attention in their final days and are comfortable and loved for the first and only time in their miserable lives. Tailends is constantly struggling to meet the continually increasing costs of caring for elderly and ill dogs. The biggest commitment is for veterinary treatment and drugs. The policy at Tailends is to give our dogs the most appropriate treatment, thereby ensuring that they have the very best quality of life possible. Several of our dogs are on expensive heart drugs and most are on some form of pain relief for arthritis or painful old injuries. Website: www.tailends.co.uk |
