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.

Greyhounds listed in England today
As of 14 November 2026, 349 greyhounds are listed with rescues in England on LocalPetFinder: by their listed age, 1 puppy aged 12 months or under, 276 adults and 22 aged 7 or over. The rest have no age we can read, so check the profile.
3 of them are listed as a cross, as the rescue describes it: Greyhound x Rottweiler, Greyhound x Saluki and Greyhound x Welsh Foxhound. Breed labels on rescue listings are often a best guess from looks.
The rescues mark 88 as able to live with children, 1 with cats and 99 with other dogs. Where a profile says nothing, it doesn't mean no: ask the rescue.

Breed descriptions are general. Every rescue animal is an individual, so the rescue's own assessment of the animal comes first.
Greyhounds in England: your questions
Tap a question to expand
Which rescues near England have greyhounds right now, and how old are they?
As of 14 November 2026, Home Run Hounds (at Shenstone): 35, Wimbledon Greyhound Welfare (at Hersham): 31, Peterborough & Lincolnshire Greyhound Trust (at Spalding): 18, Durham District Retired Greyhounds (based in the North East): 15, Greyhound Trust Suffolk (at Capel St Mary): 14 and Retired Greyhounds Canterbury (at Wingham): 13, and 48 more. By age, that is 1 puppy, 276 adult dogs and 22 older dogs, plus 50 with no age given. The newest was added on 13 November 2026. Each profile links to the rescue, which handles the adoption.
Are there greyhound puppies for sale in England?
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. In England today, greyhounds are listed by Home Run Hounds (at Shenstone), Wimbledon Greyhound Welfare (at Hersham) and Peterborough & Lincolnshire Greyhound Trust (at Spalding), and 51 other rescues. Home Run Hounds asks a £200 donation and Wimbledon Greyhound Welfare a suggested minimum donation of £150. For Peterborough & Lincolnshire Greyhound Trust, see the rescue's own page for its fee.
Can I get a free greyhound to a good home in England, 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. Of the rescues listing greyhounds in England today, the published fees run from £150 at Wimbledon Greyhound Welfare to £400 at Birmingham Dogs Home. Every one of those is under £500. For the other 20, see the rescue's own page.
