Hull Greyhound Rescue is an
independent rescue charity run by
volunteers and greyhound owners
Sue Markham heads the rescue – she has been active
in rescuing and rehoming greyhounds since 1999 and
has also been working with greyhounds for over 50 years
Jayne and Paul assist Sue with the day-to-day running
and care of the greyhounds and their contact details are
given here: Contact
The rescue is self-funded and relies on the generosity and
kindness of supporters who also have a passion for
greyhounds
A ‘non-destructive’ policy is in place which means that
NO greyhound, that the rescue helps, will be put to sleep
except on health grounds where there is no other option

Hound awareness
Greyhounds are completely unlike any other dogs for example:
-
they need a steady routine and dislike change, most of them are not “play” interactive with children
-
this breed have short energy bursts and like to rest, which is usually on a padded dog bed or “sofa” if the family allows
-
they are the couch potatoes of the dog world – needing more sleep than other breeds
-
these dogs are not very good off lead due to their instincts to chase from their racing days
-
over time they can learn to interact with other breeds and some even becoming cat friendly
-
greyhounds need a complete “greyhound food” which is VAT FREE! (available from us) with a tasty topper
PLEASE REMEMBER:
These beautiful hounds have come from a racing career, therefore have never been introduced to a home environment.
