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.

Greyhound of the month
All our Greyhounds are amazing, but each month we like to give one some extra special attention.
My racing career ended when I suffered a devastating injury that left me with severe nerve damage. For a while, I couldn’t even use my back legs properly, and nobody knew if I’d ever make a full recovery. It would have been easy to give up… but that’s not who I am. The amazing team at Hector’s Greyhound Rescue never stopped believing in me. Every day they surrounded me with patience, kindness and love. They celebrated every tiny step forward, helped me rebuild my strength, and reminded me that my life was worth fighting for. Slowly, day by day, I found my feet again. My confidence returned, my tail started wagging, and the playful, cheeky Greyhound I had always been began to shine through once more. 
Today, I’m a completely different boy. I love my walks, enjoy spending time with my friends, and greet each day with a smile. My injury doesn’t define me—it has made me stronger. I’m living proof that with compassion, dedication and a second chance, miracles really can happen. Now all I need is the final piece of my happy ending… a loving forever home where I can be cherished for the rest of my life. Could you be the one to write my next chapter? 
Love, Arty (Saratoga Arteta)
