About SARA

S.A.R.A. (Saving Animals & Rehoming Advice) was founded by Ann Prosser and a group of friends to give stray and unwanted animals a true second chance at life. The charity provides a safe and secure environment where each animal is treated as an individual, with all medical, accommodation, and care needs fully supported until a new home is found. S.A.R.A. is committed to the highest welfare standards, offering lifelong support to both animals and adopters, long after rehoming. Older animals are not overlooked, with a dedicated pension plan helping to cover age-related health costs. Guided by compassion and responsibility, no animal is put to sleep unless it is the only humane option, ensuring dignity and care at every stage of life.

If you’re looking for a devoted walking buddy and affectionate friend, Pepsi could be the one for you.Greyhounds have unique needs and traits due to their breed history and life experiences, especially former racing Greyhounds like Cassie. Here’s a guide to consider for his successful adoption:Moderate exercise. Greyhounds are known as “sprinters” rather than long-distance runners. While they need daily exercise, a few short bursts of play 20-30 minute walks will usually suffice.A safe and fenced area: Given his enjoyment of playtime in the free-run pen, a fenced garden or access to a secure area is ideal. Greyhounds usually have a strong prey drive and may chase after small animals, so keeping them leashed in unfenced areas is crucial.Reactive to cats: As a former racer, Cassies prey drive can make her reactive towards cats and small animals. Ideally, she should be the only pet or paired with larger dogs, which she feels comfortable with and is used to.Socialisation and CompanionshipSince spending her life in racing kennels, household sounds and settings may be unfamiliar. Expect a transition period as she adapts to indoor living.Sensitive skin and low body fat: Greyhounds have thin skin and very little body fat, making them sensitive to cold and heat. A coat or sweater during colder weather is essential, and she should always have a soft bed to prevent sores from lying on hard surfaces.
