About Greyhound Rescue North East

Greyhound Rescue North East is a small, family-run charity based in the North East of England, dedicated to rescuing and rehoming greyhounds and other sighthounds. For over 20 years, the team has provided temporary care for stray, abandoned, and relinquished greyhounds, lurchers, salukis, whippets, and similar breeds before placing them into loving forever homes. Run entirely by volunteers and led day-to-day by the founder, the charity typically cares for 20–30 dogs at any one time. Registered since 2009 and governed by three trustees, the rescue has helped thousands of dogs begin a new chapter in life.

We urgently need a foster home for this special boy.He has been happily living in his home for quite some time, where he's enjoyed the comfort, love, and routine of home life. Sadly, his owner has passed away, meaning he now has to leave the only home he's known for so long.Our biggest hope is to avoid putting him back into kennels. After experiencing the security and warmth of a home, returning to kennel life would be incredibly difficult for him.Can you open your home to him, even temporarily? Fostering gives him a safe place to stay while we continue searching for his forever family. All he needs is someone willing to give him a chance.
