Castledon Greyhound Rescue is
run by Jodie & Sandra...
We decided to set up a Greyhound
Rescue after working in a racing
kennels. We quickly
realised just how great a need
there was for more Greyhound
Rescue & rehoming organisations
for the dogs after their racing
days were over. Often Greyhounds
retire from the track at just 2
years of age, due to an injury
that stops them reaching full
speed on the track. Some never
reach the track, because they
are either too slow to make the
grade or they just don't want to
chase. Even a dog who has a full
racing career will retire at
around 4 years of age.
Sadly, so many Greyhounds are
discarded after their racing
career is finished. We knew
their was this desperate need
for more rehoming centres & we
wanted to help this lovely,
docile, undemanding breed.
So, this is why Castledon
Greyhound Rescue kennels was
formed.
"We rehomed our first Greyhound
in 1997 - a lovely little girl
called 'Blackie'. Since
then many, many, more
Greyhounds have left Castledon
Kennels to follow Blackie's
footsteps into loving homes of
their own"
