Celia's Greyhound Rescue (Fife)Celia's Greyhound Rescue is a small sanctuary for Greyhounds situated near the village of Kinghorn in Fife, Scotland. It is run by Celia, Jimmy, Fiona and Gordon and always has a small number of lovely Greyhounds available for rehoming, plus sadly, a constant waiting list of incoming dogs. We will never be able to accomodate the vast numbers of Greyhounds reaching the end of their racing career each year, but we do the very best we can to save as many as possible in our area.

Lurcher LinkLurcher Link is a voluntary organisation whose aim is to try and save Lurchers' lives by liaising between rescues, stray pounds and members of the public. Many Lurchers are destroyed each week because the stray pounds are full and the local rescues have no room for any more dogs either. Yet in other parts of the country, people are looking for Lurchers to rehome. We wish to rectify this situation by being a point of contact for all rescues, the public and stray centres. If you can offer us help, practically or financially, or wish to avail yourself of our services, please contact us: Website: www.lurcher.org |

TailendsTailends is based in Croyde in north Devon. Tailends exists to take in elderly or terminally ill dogs (often - but not exclusively - greyhounds). Our dogs come from situations of abuse or neglect and are unlikely to be re-homed in the normal way. The greyhounds have normally lived their entire lives in kennels - initially as racing dogs and then kept in bleak conditions out of sight of the general public and with no chance of a home. They have rarely received any veterinary care or pain relief. Some have been fed poor quality food and had infrequent access to clean fresh water. They have sometimes been housed, without coats or proper bedding, in kennels that provide limited protectionfrom the weather. They commonly suffer from crippling diseases, untreated infections or old injuries. Our Mission... Tailends provide immediate veterinary treatment, warmth, comfort, loving care, appropriate walks and good quality food. Sometimes we can successfully treat and considerably extend the life of the dog. Sometimes we can only ensure that they receive the best veterinary attention in their final days and are comfortable and loved for the first and only time in their miserable lives. Tailends is constantly struggling to meet the continually increasing costs of caring for elderly and ill dogs. The biggest commitment is for veterinary treatment and drugs. The policy at Tailends is to give our dogs the most appropriate treatment, thereby ensuring that they have the very best quality of life possible. Several of our dogs are on expensive heart drugs and most are on some form of pain relief for arthritis or painful old injuries. Website: www.tailends.co.uk |
