We have a dedicated band of volunteers who walk, groom and cuddle our dogs. They also help out at our events. We would be lost without them. Why not come and join our happy band- no skill needed, just the ability to massage greyhounds, drink tea & eat cake!

​You will be asked to fill in an adopter’s questionnaire on your first visit. This will help us help you choose the right dog for your lifestyle. Alternatively, you can download the form below, fill it in and bring it with you on your first visit.

All our greyhounds homed are neutered, vaccinated, wormed, flea treated and come with 4 weeks free insurance with Petplan.

You will be home-checked and then follow up checks are done after homing the greyhound to make sure things are working out for both yourself and the greyhound.
Approximately 8,000 greyhounds retire from racing each year, typically between three and four years of age. Many never make the grade or retire at a much younger age as a result of minor injury. A great many owners will adopt greyhounds into their homes or arrange for them to live out their retirement at a kennel.

Sheffield Retired Greyhounds works extremely hard to encourage owners to take their responsibility for their dogs and we also encourage the public to consider taking on retired greyhounds.
