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.

Breed descriptions are general. Every rescue animal is an individual, so the rescue's own assessment of the animal comes first.
Greyhounds in Merseyside: your questions
Tap a question to expand
How many rescue greyhounds are available for adoption in Merseyside?
As of 8 November 2026, no greyhounds are listed for adoption in Merseyside on LocalPetFinder. There are 26 greyhounds with rescues within 25 miles, shown under "Also near Merseyside". Rescues add animals all the time, so this page fills as they list them.
Can I adopt a retired racing greyhound in Merseyside?
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.
How much does it cost to adopt a greyhound in Merseyside?
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 Merseyside?
No. We don't list animals for sale. Every greyhound on this page is with a rescue or rehoming centre. Rescues rehome animals rather than selling them, usually for an adoption fee: for example, Dogs Trust £300, and Blue Cross puppies under six months start from £525. The fee usually goes towards vet work already done, such as neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations. If you searched "greyhound puppies for sale Merseyside", 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 Merseyside, or one under £500?
Usually not. UK rescues normally ask for an adoption fee, which pays towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations. 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.
Are there greyhound puppies for adoption in Merseyside?
Not right now: no greyhounds are listed in Merseyside today, so there are no puppies either. See "Also near Merseyside" for greyhounds with rescues nearby. Puppies do get listed, and rescues can tell you much more about an adult's character, so check back.
