About Greyhounds in Birmingham
Most greyhounds near Birmingham are with Home Run Hounds, a volunteer-led charity with three kennels around the city: Watford Gap Kennels at Shenstone, between Lichfield and Sutton Coldfield, about nine miles from Birmingham, Broadmarsh Kennels at Hagley near Stourbridge, about nine miles from Birmingham, and Monkspath Cottage at Wombourne, about 13 miles from Birmingham. Greyhound Trust Wolverhampton, which calls itself the Monmore Green Retired Greyhound Trust, rehomes them too.
Home Run Hounds offers foster to adopt: once you have chosen a hound you can foster it for two weeks or longer to see whether you suit each other. It will consider adopters of any age, and it homes greyhounds to flats and boats when its volunteers are satisfied the criteria are met. To meet some of its dogs first, go to its Lichfield walk in Beacon Park on the fourth Sunday of the month, where hounds from the kennels looking for homes usually come along.
Greyhound Trust Wolverhampton charges £250, with a muzzle and four weeks of free pet insurance, and carries out a home check before you take your dog home.

About greyhounds
Many greyhounds in UK rescue are retired racing dogs. The Greyhound Trust says most retire from racing between three and five years old, so a rescue greyhound is usually a young adult rather than a puppy.

Are there greyhound puppies for sale in Birmingham?
No. Rescues rehome greyhounds for an adoption fee rather than selling them, so be wary of any advert that asks for a deposit before you have met the dog.

Can I get a free greyhound to a good home in Birmingham, or one under £500?
Usually not from a rescue: each asks an adoption fee towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations, and a "free to a good home" advert is a private one with no rescue checks behind it.
