WELCOME TO THE
GREYHOUND TRUST
WEST YORKSHIRE
Our West Yorkshire branch of the Greyhound Trust national
charity has homed many hundreds of these wonderful dogs.
We have a wealth of experience behind us; so whether you are an 'old hand' or a first-time dog owner in need of support, we will always be just a phone call away.
​
We currently have about 20 greyhounds waiting for homes - and as one lucky one leaves there is another waiting to take the place ...
HOMING
SUSPENDED DUE TO CORONAVIRUS
Following Government guidelines and directions from Greyhound Trust head office, our homing operations have sadly to be suspended until further notice.
There is still a very firm commitment to the care & well being of our greyhounds; and we will resume homing just as soon as we can.
