Welfare & Retired Greyhounds

They have raced week in and week out... they have trained and given their all to the cheers of the crowd. They have given us excitement and great entertainment, but now it is our turn to look after them and find them a home.

The Retired Greyhound Trust

This is when the Retired Greyhound Trust (RGT) steps in to help to find them a caring home.

Thousands of families love the dogs for their gentle and affectionate nature. Greyhounds are wonderful companions who are fantastic with children. Natural couch potatoes, greyhounds love to be lazy and need just two 20-minute walks a day.

About 9000 greyhounds retire from racing every year who need to be loved and cared for. Each track has it's own branch of the Retired Greyhound Trust.

Local Branch

At Wimbledon we have an active RGT team organising numerous fund-raising events throughout the year. If you would like to help, either in fund-raising or home checking, please go to the Wimbledon website for retired greyhounds – www.hershamhounds.org

If you can help, give a dog a home.  They make fantastic pets
