Take Action
Foster or adopt
There are thousands of greyhounds looking for their forever home, or somewhere they will be cared for.
Why adopt a greyhound
Not only will adopting a pet greyhound change their life, but it will change yours too.
Greyhounds might be fast when running, but are naturally very calm and gentle animals, who often sleep throughout most of the day. These sensitive sould love nothing more than human companionship.
Unfortunately, the greyhound racing industry breeds up to six times more dogs than it can rehome, so there is always a surplus of dogs up for adoption.
How can you take action?
You don’t have to be on the picket line to make a difference, you can help end greyhound suffering from your own home. Even the smallest effort can make a big impact on a greyhound’s life.
