Eastern Counties Retired Greyhound Trust started in the summer of 2007, with the belief that we can help many of the greyhounds that are waiting for new homes, and also to promote just how wonderful these dogs are. Most of our homings are in the Norfolk and North Suffolk areas but please don't worry if you don't live in these areas as we can put you in touch with dogs in any area.
Greyhounds make wonderful pets!
Contrary to popular belief, greyhounds are very lazy animals; "the fastest couch potatoes in the world !" Another myth that we are happy to dispel, is that greyhounds can't live with cats or other small animals. Oh yes they can !! They are no different to any other breed of dog in this respect, it's just a case of putting the right dog in the right home. So, if you are thinking about getting a pet that will not ask too much of you, but will give you back so much love and eternal thanks for you being there for them, then PLEASE, seriously consider homing a greyhound...it could be the best decision you ever make.
