Greyhound Rescue North East
About
Greyhound Rescue
North East
Greyhound Rescue Northeast is a small family run UK dog rescue based in the north east of England. Our goal is to provide temporary care and shelter for stray, abandoned and relinquished sight-hounds before placing them into forever loving homes. We have been re-homing greyhounds, lurchers, saluki's, the occasional whippet and every other breed of sighthound you can think of for over 20 years. We have successfully given thousands of dogs a second chance at life.
We are a very small team and the kennels are run by the charity founder.
Our team is made up entirely of volunteers who work tirelessly to make the charity a success.
We became a registered charity in 2009 and we are currently governed by 3 trustees. At any one time there can be between 20 and 30 dogs with us waiting for homes.
Registered charity number - 1131609

Thank you
We also have some really special people who foster dogs until their forever person/family comes along.
Of course no charity, Greyhound Rescue North East included, could run and function effectively without the support of the community. Thank you for being part of this.
