About WK Retired Greyhounds

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

Essex
SexFemale
Age4 years
BreedGreyhound

Abbi is 4yrs old. She is very nervous until she knows you but does come round with patience and kindness. She would prefer to be the only dog at home, but does walk happily with other dogs, which would give her confidence. She will need a patient and understanding home, without young children as they may be too much for her. She is clean in her kennel and will be really loyal once she trusts you. Abbi is currently reserved (pending final confirmation)!

Kathy

Essex
SexFemale
Age3 years
BreedGreyhound

Kathy is a distinctive looking girl who is curious about everything and very friendly. She is 3yrs old and very confident. Further description to come as we get to know her. Kathy is currently reserved! Adam is 4yrs old and a loving, friendly chap. He is on the smaller side for a male greyhound and happy to meet everyone with a waggy tail. He loves his walks, is really affectionate and will make a great friend at home. He may prefer to be the only dog in the home as sometimes he can get over-excited with other dogs, but he is generally ok around medium/larger breeds and will just need a little further introduction to smaller dogs.

Magic, a 3 years old male Greyhound available for adoption from WK Retired Greyhounds in Essex

Magic

Essex
SexMale
Age3 years
BreedGreyhound

Magic has sadly been returned. He has lived with another greyhound and small dog but is nervous with men so would be best with a quiet household and one used to dogs with this trait. He is a loving boy once he gets to know you but does need his own space and quiet time. Update: Magic is a little temperamental with people he doesn't know so we will only be homing him with someone who he knows/can take on this odd trait. It is so unusual for greyhounds so he will have to go to the right home. Could you help Magic get back into a loving home? He is 3yrs old

Riley, a 5 years old male Greyhound available for adoption from WK Retired Greyhounds in Essex

Riley

Essex
SexMale
Age5 years
BreedGreyhound

Riley has sadly been returned. He is good with bigger dogs but does need further socialising around smaller dogs (but is manageable and should learn quickly). He will need a home without young children, but is extremely affectionate and loyal to adults. He was quiet at night and settled well into the home environment. So he has an advantage over the others, knowing what it is like to be in a home. Could you give Riley the chance of a permanent home? He is 5yrs old.
