Molly is a sweet 3yr old black girl who is 26" tall. Molly will need some direction from her new owners because we don't think she's done much racing in her life and has not had the input from an owner that the other greyhounds in our care have had in the way of learning some manners. Molly is a lovable, bouncy friendly girl on the lead as well and is looking for someone who is used to dogs and happy to give Molly some positive direction. Molly would be best suited in a home with older children and as the only dog with no cats in the home too.
If you would like to give Molly a permanent home, please Contact Us |

Jack is one of our more mature boys who is 7yrs old and 28" tall. Jack came into our care very underweight but now is looking much better and because he's now back up to the weight he should be he's feeling so much better in himself too, in fact he behaves like a much younger dog and will need an experienced greyhound home who will be happy to put a little work into Jack as he's quite strong on the lead until he's settled down and appears quite keen too when he spots anything moving fast ahead of him.
We have come to the conclusion that Jack has been underweight for some time before coming into our care as his exhuberance is only now showing itself now he feels better. If you're an experienced greyhound owner with teenage children, no cats or small dogs and love working with these strong males and take great satisfaction in reaping the rewards of helping a dog like Jack then look no further, Jack is the dog for you.
If you would like to give Jack a permanent home, please Contact Us |

Tandy is a
beautiful liver and white 2yr old girl. Tandy is a very
gentle natured girl with a loving temperament and loves the
company of people. Tandy is currently in a foster home where
she enjoys playing with her toys and the odd slipper if left
around. Tandy loves her walks on the lead but can be a
little disorientated around traffic so a home not in a busy
area will suit Tandy. Tandy can be let off the lead in a
safe enclosed area and she is good around other dogs too
while she is on the lead. Tandy hasn't been around very
small children nor cats but because she can be a little on
the timid side a busy household may upset her. Tandy will
make the perfect pet for someone who she will put her whole
trust into once she's settled in.
If you would
like to give Tandy
a permanent home, please

MORE DOGS IN NEED OF A HOME
Please take a look at
Dogs Who Need A Helping Hand
and
Homed From Home
pages for more of our dogs who are waiting for that
special home.
We have many more dogs in our care waiting to be
photographed and assessed so that their details can be
placed on our website. If you are considering adopting a
greyhound or lurcher, please
Contact Us
to find out more about the many dogs currently in need
of a home.
You may have been thinking about adopting a
greyhound for a while but have never took the plunge
or you may be looking for a buddy to go with your
own dog, whatever your reasons for looking at our
website, making the decision to adopt one of
our greyhounds or lurchers is very likely going to
be the best one you've ever made.
We pride ourselves on finding the right home for the
right dog and to enable us to do this we have an
adoption procedure that we adhere to.
Before you are hopefully successful in giving a dog a
home there are some things we need to do first. Below is
a step by step guide to homing a dog from GRW.
1) You can contact
GRW either by;
Email info@greyhoundrescuewales.co.uk Your
enquiry will be passed onto the GRW representative
in your area so please give both a contact phone
number and the area where you live.
Phoning the national rescue line 0300 0123 999 Your
enquiry will be passed on directly to the GRW
representative in your area. You will be asked for a
contact phone number and the area in which you live.
Finding a GRW representative for your area in the
Contact Us
page on the site. The regional representative
will be able to answer any questions you may have on the
criteria needed to home one of our dogs, general care of
the greyhound etc. Although they may not be able to chat
specifically about a particular dog you may be enquiring
about, they will arrange a home visit with you.
2) The home visit. The
home visit by one of our regional representatives is
both very informal and very important. The home visit
enables you to ask as many questions as you like about
the greyhound as a breed and general care of the hound
etc. If you have a list of questions prepared your home
visitor will be more than happy to answer them. There
are a few things that we do insist on when looking for
homes for our dogs.
These include:
-
A well fenced garden min height of approx 5ft.
-
Time the dog is left alone:- We understand that people
have to work so if you do work full time we will still
consider homing a dog with you as long as you
can provide a dog walker or someone to pop round in the
day to take him/her out for a walk. If you do work full
time and you have someone in mind to help keep your dog
stimulated during the time you're out of the house they
will need to be present at the home visit.
We will not home any of our dogs to someone who
wants to work the dog for either racing or working
etc. The dogs in our care are rescue's and are
rescue's for a reason, they've probably already
failed in their predicted careers hence them coming
into our care to be rehomed as a pet.
All of your circumstances i.e. small children in your
home, cats and other pets present, your working hours,
your garden etc. will be taken into account at the home
visit so we can then try to find a dog to suit your
needs.
3) After your home visit, the regional
representative will contact Sandra Morris who is
Chair of kennelling to discuss your home
circumstances. Sandra will then phone to chat with
you about the dogs in our care. Between you and
Sandra, you will probably decide on a few dogs that
could be suitable for you. Sandra is aware of all
the dogs in our care and she will be able to guide
you in making the right choice for both your family
and home circumstances along with the greyhounds'
needs.
4) Once you've decided you'd like to meet some of the
dogs Sandra will contact either the foster home or the
kennel coordinator and arrange a visit time. If you have
a dog already it's important to bring your dog along
to either the foster home or the kennels. You will have
the opportunity to go for a short walk with both dogs.
If you have children it's also important to bring the
children along so they can feel comfortable in the dogs
presence before you take him/her home.
5) If all goes well and you, your family and your own
dog (if you have one) feel the dog you've met is the
right one for you and the kennel coordinator feels the
same you will be able to take the dog home with you. You
will be asked to fill in some paperwork to say you've
adopted the dog.
- If you are going on holiday very soon but would like
to offer a home to one of our dogs, then as long as your
holiday is within 2 weeks of your enquiry we will keep
the dog in our care until you return. If your holiday is
booked for a month away, we will ask you to come back
after your holiday although we cannot guarantee that the
dog you would like has not already been homed.
6) When you return home with your dog, should you
have any problems or just a general question please
feel free to phone either Sandra or your home
visitor. After 2 to 3 days your home visitor will
give you a ring to check all is well with you and
after 2 weeks or so your home visitor will do a
follow up visit with you to check again that all is
well. We will then leave you alone but please do not
hesitate to phone if you want to discuss something
about your new dog.
Hopefully we'll all meet up again at a fundraising event
or street/store collection where you can meet other
proud greyhound and lurcher owners.
