We've seen and heard some very interesting myths in our time about greyhound adoption and ownership!

The latest was a claim that greyhounds MUST be homed in pairs!

So this got us thinking... what myths have our supporters heard about greyhounds and lurchers? Share in our comments below!

Time for a lovely Coral update!

We're pleased to announce that Coral continues to flourish after her operation on her broken hock.

Coral has such a happy nature! She's been learning about a home environment and would love a foster/forever home: greyhoundrescuewales.co.uk/adopt-an-ani...

We get asked a lot, "Are they house trained?" & the answer is usually "no".
Most of our greyhounds have spent their lives in kennels, so learning to live in a home is new! House training takes time, patience & routine.
How did you find house training your greyhound? Share your stories below!

Can you help identify this 'team' of shoplifters who ran a coordinated effort to shoplift from our Merthyr shop? At a time when we are struggling to meet rising costs, incidents like this are a big blow to our charity. Help support the shop at: greyhoundrescuewales.beaconforms.com/form/133e245...

Hoops came to us in 2024 and sadly his owners were not honest with us. He was completely blind in 1 eye with little sight remaining in the other & an untreated blood condition.

Could you sponsor Hoops & help us to care for him, & many more dogs like him: greyhoundrescuewales.co.uk/support/spon...

Marshall's pin is coming out. He's heading into surgery this morning, here he is right now waiting to go in! He looks worried, could you send him some reassurance?

His surgery is costing £2k. We're on £1,074 (thank you!). Could you help us reach our goal?

🥺 Marshall was relinquished with a hock injury that had occured 4 months ago. Despite being told that he was completely healed, it soon became clear that this wasn't true.

Marshall's treatment is estimated £1500

Can you make a donation for him? He's a lovely soul:

As it is #AdoptAGreyhoundMonth and #nationalpetday have a look at why greyhounds make great pets! (We may have snuck a few lurchers in to!)

It costs almost £16,000 a week to keep our charity running. Could you donate to help a greyhound in need? bit.ly/DonatetoGRW
