Adopt your perfect greyhound
Ex – Racing & Coursing Greyhounds make fantastic family members you’ll love and enjoy.
We are a dedicated group of volunteers who devote their time to saving the lives of Ex-Racing Greyhounds & Ex-Coursing Greyhounds. All of our greyhounds are profiled by the carers who look after them when they come into rescue, and this means that we can work with you to find the right dog for you. We are totally independent as a rescue & recieve no funding from the racing industry.
We rescue Greyhounds for a variety of reasons:
- Many find themselves at risk of being “put to sleep” after their racing career.
- We receive others directly from their trainers.
- Some are brought to us after being abandoned as strays.
- While others come from owners who can no longer keep them.
Please take a minute to meet our available Greyhounds; we know they’re looking forward to meeting you. If you don’t see the right rescue dog for you, please contact us as we often have other dogs waiting to come into rescue.

Sponsor a Hector’s Greyhound dog
Hector’s Greyhound Rescue take in well over a hundred dogs in need every year and do our best to never turn away a dog that needs us. We rely heavily on public donations and appreciate people’s generosity as we receive no government funding. Unfortunately, there are some dogs who can never be rehomed due to injury, ill-health or social/behavioural problems, which can be linked to a traumatic past experience. These dogs will stay with Hector’s forever and become our ‘Forever Fosters’.
Your donation will not just help our ‘Forever Fosters’ but also the other gorgeous dogs who are with Hector’s. Thank you.

Hi I’m Billy
Billy isn’t just any greyhound – he’s a living testament to resilience 
.
When he first arrived, this sleek black beauty 
had two broken back legs 
. But with time, care, and an iron will, Billy has gone from fragile to as strong as an ox 
. Now, as he gracefully matures, his once jet-black coat is dusted with distinguished silver 
. Billy is loving 
, loyal 
, and deeply bonded to his people. He’ll greet you with soft eyes
