As the Brighton Retired Greyhound Trust celebrates its 45th anniversary, it calls upon the community to consider giving a retired greyhound a second chance at a loving and comfortable retirement.
A spokesperson for the trust said: “These remarkable dogs have brought joy to countless homes, and with continued support and awareness, more greyhounds can experience the happiness they so rightly deserve in their golden years.
“It’s a mystery to us why our long-term residents are still here.”
Greyhounds require very little in terms of maintenance, and are fiercely loving and loyal, making them an ideal pet for a variety of living situations.
Despite their reputation as high-energy animals who need plenty of exercise, they are content to while away the hours snoozing, and are known for being lazy, calm and very affectionate.
To find out more about adopting a loving greyhound, contact the kennels at: 07704 982140 or via email at: [email protected].
“It’s a mystery to us why our long-term residents are still here.”
