Below are some of the trailhounds currently available for adoption (there are more not yet on the website). We work closely with the racing owners to help find suitable retirement homes, and are able to supply a full history of each hound, e.g whether they have lived with children, cats, etc. We take in around 40 hounds a year; most we home ourselves and some go to reputable rehoming centres throughout the country. Hounds are neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. We usually visit you in your home so that we can answer any questions. There is a £150 adoption donation. We offer 1 month free insurance with PETPLAN Insurance. If you are new to trailhounds, please carefully read our FAQ and training page to be sure that a trailhound is the right breed for you.
PLEASE NOTE – NOT ALL OF OUR AVAILABLE HOUNDS ARE LISTED BELOW. SOME WE ARE WAITING TO MEET AND GET PHOTOS OF. If you are interested in adopting, it is worth getting our questionnaire back to us so that you can be added to the waiting list.

INTERESTED IN ADOPTING? – Contact us and we will send you a pre adoption form. Once we know what you are looking for, we can see if we have a match.
If you are interested in a hound listed below that is in another rehoming centre, contact the centre directly to register interest – their own homing criteria will apply.
HOUND TRAILERS – Please ring Sue or Barbara if you have a hound you wish to rehome.
We can offer the following options:
* We can find a home privately for your hound (either with it staying with you until adopted OR for it to come into our care until adopted).
* We can send your hound to a trusted external rehoming centre, in which case they take over sole responsibility for it. We have been lucky to be supported by these centres for many years, and they find fantastic homes.
* If you decide to find a retirement home yourselves without our input, we are still happy to pay for neutering, and to assist with home checks, if you require it.
* If you have a hound that needs to come in urgently, we are always happy to try and help without a long wait.
* If you have a hound with a racing injury, please get in touch. We have previously found great homes for hounds, including amputees, once we have had their vet work done. We are happy to cover vet costs.
PLEASE RING US FOR A CHAT.
