Whittingham Kennels Retired Greyhounds is a registered charity dedicated to the rescue and rehoming of retired and rescued greyhounds across Essex, London, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire and surrounding areas within roughly an hour of Waltham Abbey. The charity primarily rehomes ex-racing greyhounds, typically aged between 3–5 years, though some are younger rescue cases. Known for their gentle, affectionate nature and modest exercise needs, greyhounds make loyal and loving companions. The team welcomes enquiries from prospective adopters and supporters who would like to help give these dogs a comfortable and caring forever home.

Abbi is 4yrs old. She is very nervous at the moment but we hope she will come round quickly, particularly if she shares with another greyhound and gains confidence from a confident dog. She will need a patient and understanding home, without young children as they may be too much for her. Abbi is currently reserved!

Bailey is a handsome and different looking chap who is so loveable. He is strong on the lead but walks better with a harness. He's playful and happy and really deserves a special home. He seems fine with other breeds (with the usual initial care) and is happy and cuddly. He is clean in his kennel too. Bailey is currently reserved!

Bertie is a confident and affectionate little soul who would love a special home. We were asked to take him in after he served his time after being found as a stray. He is neutered and vaccinated and spotlessly clean in his kennel. He will be playful and is good with other breeds, although can be apprehensive around bigger dogs. He is estimated to be about 2yrs old. Bertie is currently reserved!

Diamond is a chunky girl and a beautiful dog. She was a little apprehensive when she first arrived but that is to be expected as it is a change where everything is new. But once she knows the routine and knows you, she is extremely affectionate and excited to greet you. She is clean and tidy in her Kennel and a really lovely dog.
