Welcome! This is the website for Brighton Retired Greyhound Trust.
Registered Charity number 275378
This year we have homed 100 Greyhounds, homing is far slower than usual, can you help offer a home to one of our wonderful dogs?
Many of these Greyhounds are being homed for the second time as they have been returned to us due to change of circumstance. These returned dogs can be anything upto 11 years old but we always find loving new homes for them.
We have space for 30 greyhounds waiting for homes, so we are sure to have the right dog for you.
We are a registered, independent charity who work alongside the national RGT and other local welfare organisations to ensure all greyhounds have a happy retirement. We rely heavily on donations and legacies as well as our own fundraising efforts, please see events page for details.

Approximately 9,000 greyhounds retire from racing each year, typically between three and four years of age. Many never make the grade or retire at a much younger age as a result of minor injury. A great many racing owners will take their greyhounds home The Greyhound Trust works extremely hard to encourage owners to take their responsibility for their dogs seriously, and we also encourage the public to consider taking on retired greyhounds as they make such great pets.
Why?
Because we believe that all greyhounds deserve a life after racing!
Despite popular misconceptions greyhounds are:
- Gentle and adaptable, making them ideal family pets for all ages.
- Lazy couch potatoes needing only two twenty minute walks a day, although they will go further!
- When re-homed responsibly, they can live in harmony with other pets including cats!
- Totally addictive - once you've owned a greyhound you'll never be without one!
