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.

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 18 greyhounds listed in and around Middlesbrough 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.

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.

The 18 greyhounds listed in and around Middlesbrough today are with Maxi's Mates at Guisborough, about 8 miles away (7), Greyhound Rescue North East based in the North East (7) and S.A.R.A. – The Ann Prosser Foundation at Redcar, about 7 miles away (4), and each rescue shows its own fee on the profile.

If you searched "greyhound puppies for sale Middlesbrough", 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.

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.
