About Us

In 1995, we read an article in a newspaper on the plight of racing greyhounds after their racing days were over. This prompted us to take on our first greyhound, a 6 year old male.

Chappie arrived on 4th July and after 3 baths, we discovered he was white and brindle! Having raced the length and breadth of the UK, he so deserved a happy retirement. Tragically, it was short lived and at the age of 7 he was diagnosed with a calcification of the spine and we had to put him to sleep.

Having discovered that 10,000 greyhounds like Chappie needed homes each year, when approached by the national organiser of the Retired Greyhound Trust to establish a local Rescue Centre here in Jersey, it seemed the obvious path to follow.

We are currently celebrating our 12th Anniversary having homed 117 dogs here in Jersey, Guernsey, Sark and Alderney.

Since 1995 our family has grown. At present we share our sofas with 16 greyhounds of our own, namely:

Squibby aged 15 years

Turk aged 11 years

Flynn aged 10 years

Rio 7 years

Malarky 6 years

Arrie 11 years

Fonz 6 years

Danny 7 years

O.B. 6 years

Eccles 9 years

Gunner 12 years

Ruby 6 years

Dilly 13 years

Silks 2 years

Kella 5 years

Jed 4 years
