Dogs Trust Leeds has nine Greyhounds and Lurchers looking for their forever homes. As the Greyhounds are ex-racers and the Lurchers were all found as strays, Dogs Trust is calling for patient, loving adopters to give these often overlooked breeds a second chance.
The team at Dogs Trust Leeds is urging anyone with a dog-shaped hole in their life to consider rehoming one of the nine greyhounds or lurchers in their care, who take up a third of the dogs currently available for rehoming.
With each greyhound having arrived at the rehoming centre as an ex-racer and each lurcher having been found as a stray, the Dogs Trust team is looking for friendly, patient owners to give these stunning sighthounds their forever homes and a second chance at a comfortable life.
This week, they include Scully, a gentle five-year-old ex-racing Greyhound who loves home comforts.
To find out what dogs are available for rehoming, visit the Dogs Trust Leeds website. Here are nine of the gorgeous pups up for adoption -
7. Ned
Ned is a sweet one-year-old Lurcher with a playful side once he knows you. Found as a stray, he’ll need calm adopters who can visit a few times before taking him home. Ned would suit a household with older teens and no other pets, and he thrives with a quiet, consistent routine. | Dogs Trust
8. Nelly
Nelly is a calm and gentle Greyhound looking for a quiet retirement home. She can be shy at first but quickly makes friends with the help of treats. Nelly enjoys walks and car rides and would love some new adventures. As her housetraining is unknown, an enclosed garden would be very beneficial for her. | Dogs Trust
9. Rory
Rory is a lovable four-year-old Lurcher looking for a calm home with a secure garden. Found as a stray, he struggles with being left alone but is learning and improving in foster care. Rory would suit a home with sensible teenagers and must be the only pet. He enjoys off-lead play and is making progress with other dogs. | Dogs Trust
