Sussex greyhound charity are looking for new homes for their dogs

Brighton Retired Greyhound Trust are looking for more people to adopt a greyhound

Transcript

00:00Okay, well I'm Mike Harrod. I'm chairman of the trustees of the Brighton Retired Greyhound Trust

00:05and we've been rehoming retired racing greyhounds since 1978. Currently from our kennels at

00:14Newhouse Farm Twynham in West Sussex where we've been resident for 15 years. It's desperately

00:21difficult finding homes for retired dogs at the moment. It's got worse since the

00:27Covid pandemic. We're struggling to find enough homes for the dogs and there are plenty of dogs

00:35that are retiring, probably due to an over supply in the greyhound industry.

00:44So we need desperately more adopters. They do make wonderful pets.

00:52They're couch potatoes. They don't need lots and lots of exercise. 20 minutes twice a day is more

00:59than enough for them. They're pretty good with children, especially if the children are

01:04experienced with dogs. They're great with elderly people because of the need for very little

01:11exercise and they really do make wonderful companions and we find that most people that

01:17have had a greyhound will never ever consider any other breed. They just they become part of

01:24your life. They can contact us by going on to our website www.brightonrgt.org.uk

01:36where they'll find the contact details of our kennels,

01:39where they should speak to our kennel supervisor Mrs Kaz Salas.
