What greyhounds are like to live with

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. The Royal Kennel Club notes that the greyhound seen in the show ring is larger and heavier than the racing greyhound.

Can I adopt a retired racing greyhound in Coventry?

Yes. Many greyhounds in UK rescue are retired racers: the Greyhound Trust says most retire from racing between three and five years old. The greyhounds listed on this page are with rescues and rehoming centres, and each profile links to the rescue to apply.

Do greyhounds need a lot of exercise?

No. The Greyhound Trust says greyhounds are built for speed rather than stamina and are happy with two twenty-minute walks a day, and Battersea says they generally prefer around two 30-minute walks. Blue Cross says many sleep 16 to 18 hours a day.

Are greyhounds good with children?

It depends on the dog, not the breed. Most of the 51 greyhounds listed in and around Coventry today don't say either way, so ask the rescue. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue what age of children the dog could live with.

How much does it cost to adopt a greyhound in Coventry?

The greyhounds listed in and around Coventry today are with Home Run Hounds at Shenstone, about 21 miles away (30), Greyhound Trust Wolverhampton at Wolverhampton, about 29 miles away (12), Daybreaks Trust at Elmdon, about 11 miles away (4) and 3 other rescues; each profile shows that rescue's fee. Each rescue sets its own adoption fee. Dogs Trust charges £300 for a puppy or adult dog in England, Wales and Scotland, and Blue Cross fees start from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over and £335 for dogs aged 1 to 7. The fee usually covers neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations, and each rescue confirms its own fee.

Are there greyhound puppies for sale in Coventry?

No. We don't list animals for sale. Every greyhound on this page is with a rescue or rehoming centre. The 51 greyhounds listed in and around Coventry today are with Home Run Hounds at Shenstone, about 21 miles away (30), Greyhound Trust Wolverhampton at Wolverhampton, about 29 miles away (12), Daybreaks Trust at Elmdon, about 11 miles away (4) and 3 other rescues, and each rescue shows its own fee on the profile. For comparison, Dogs Trust £300, and Blue Cross puppies under six months start from £525. If you searched "greyhound puppies for sale Coventry", the greyhounds here are the rescue route: you apply to the rescue and pay its adoption fee, not a sale price. In England, Lucy's Law has meant since 6 April 2020 that puppies under six months can't be sold by a third party such as a pet shop or dealer: you buy direct from the breeder or adopt from a rehoming centre.

Can I get a free greyhound to a good home in Coventry, or one under £500?

Usually not. UK rescues normally ask for an adoption fee, which pays towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations. Of the 51 greyhounds listed in and around Coventry today, each shows its rescue's fee on the profile; the nearest rescue is Pawprints Dog Rescue at Monks Kirby, about 8 miles away. Many rescue fees are under £500: Dogs Trust charges £300, and Blue Cross from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over. An animal offered "free to a good home" is usually a private advert rather than a rescue. All dogs in the UK must be microchipped by 8 weeks old, and in England, Wales and Scotland a dog can't pass to a new keeper until it is chipped, so ask to see the microchip details.
