Dumfries and Cumbria Greyhound Rescue
“In December 2001 some concerned owners of retired greyhounds and friends decided that something needed to be done to improve the lot of ex-racing and ex-coursing dogs. With the assistance of friends we were quickly able to qualify as a Scottish Charity. This has enabled us to raise funds more easily. We use what we raise mainly for kennel fees, vet fees, fostering expenses and advertising. However we also run an extensive ‘Events’ calendar (it all costs money) where we try to raise public awareness of the plight of dogs at the end of their racing/coursing careers.” LINK
Greyhound Awareness League
“The Greyhound Awareness League (GAL) was established by Martin & Denise McGranaghan and is dedicated to rescuing and re-homing ex-racing; ex-working and abandoned greyhounds and lurchers. GAL is dedicated to raising public awareness of the plight of the retired greyhound. Our aim is to encourage members of the public to meet, and hopefully adopt, greyhounds and lurchers and to dispel many of the myths surrounding them.” LINK
Give a Greyhound a Home
“GAGAH is a non-profit making organisation. It was set up in 1999 to encourage people to choose a rescue greyhound/lurcher in preference to a privately bred dog. The aim of GAGAH is to rehome greyhounds and lurchers and to raise awareness on what happens to them once they have served their use.” LINK
Greyhound Rescue Scotland
“Greyhound Rescue Scotland (Registered Scottish Charity No: SC033346) was formed in 2001 and since that date the charity has always been run by a group of unpaid volunteers – we are therefor reliant on public donations to allow us to continue helping what we believe are wonderful animals who deserve a better life. Our aims are to rescue and re-home greyhounds and lurchers, be they registered or unregistered not only from the tracks at Armadale, Ayr, Corbiewood, Thornton, Gretna and Shawfield but also from council kennels, dog wardens and veterinary surgeons.” LINK
Scottish Greyhound Sanctuary
“SGS was launched in March 2008, our aim is to help retired Greyhounds find permanent homes. Greyhounds are loyal affectionate family pets and contrary to opinion do not require vast amounts of exercise or food. If you would like to know more about this wonderful breed, and what is involved in our rehoming process, please look through the pages of our website.” LINK
Dog Action Welfare Group Scotland
” As a dog welfare charity we find loving new homes for unwanted and abandoned dogs throughout the North East of Scotland. Well over 2,000 dogs and puppies have been given the chance of a new life since we began helping homeless hounds back in 1994″ LINK
