Home a Hound
Meet the four-legged members of the Dunrunnin family! Each of our current residents has their own profile where you can read about their individual personalities, likes and dislikes.
We’re very fond of all our dogs and we pride ourselves on how well we get to know them during their stay with us. We think this knowledge is the key to matching a greyhound to their new home successfully.
Whether you live in a flat in a busy town or in the country, whether you have a large family of children or live alone, whether you work full time or are home all day, whether you already have cats and dogs or whether this will be your very first pet, the Dunrunnin rehoming team will work with you to help you to choose a greyhound that will be best suited to your individual circumstances.
If you could offer a loving home to one of the following dogs, please pay us a visit to come and meet them in person!

Ace
Racing Name: Sophies Ace
Date of Birth: October 2017
A lovely tall and undoubtedly handsome chap is Ace πΒ A gentle and happy soul who walks nicely and has great manners around the kennels. He is a lanky lad but very sweet natured and no complaints from us here so far. Not yet been tested outside of the kennel environment but we’re sure he’ll take it all with good grace. He is a bit older than our average retiree but you wouldn’t know either by looks or actions. A lovely boy π

Barley
Racing Name: Lightfoot Rouble
Date of Birth: March 2021
Barley is just a young chap but quite a large lad and definitely larger than life in character π A super happy chap who can get over-excited but walks well once you get him out of the gate. Loves a fuss and gives the best cuddles. Quite a bright lad for a greyhound so would flourish in a home where his enthusiasm can be tapped and re-directed towards learning new things. Can be quite a dominant character, so a home with no children. Maybe not for first time owners but quite an easy boy for the initiated π

Bestie
Racing Name: Yahoo Best
Date of Birth: September 2021
Bestie is beyond shy on initial meetings, the world is such a scary place π Can’t imagine how he got on racing tbh, he did only have 8 races and didn’t win any of them – guess that’s why such a young lad has ‘retired’. He is however a super looking little chap and after a few days has started greeting me with enthusiasm and a super waggy tail, so just needs the right person to gain his trust and help him with the transition from kennel dog to the perfect pet. Needs a quieter home with no or older children who can respect his initial reticence. May benefit from a confident dog already in the home to show him the ropes, not necessarily a grey. As his name suggests we think he will make the BEST pet in the right home π

CC
Racing Name: Crystal Cherrie
Date of Birth: March 2020
Now have a new photo of this girl, needed a bit of time when she first came to us and is now sporting a lovely shiny black coat. Everyone loves CC she has character, is a cuddle bunny and walks nicely on her walks round here. Has just started going out and about and is loving her excursions and so far has been keen but well behaved. We have put in some work with other breeds and she is learning to ignore the pesky little doggies like the true lady she is. Hard not to like this girl π

Champ
Racing Name: Maree Champion
Date of Birth: August 2021
What a handsome boy and although quite enthusiastic, he has good manners to go with his good looks. Loves his walks and walks well, so fast becoming a favorite with the walkers – it’s always nice when they are obviously having a good time π We’ve not had time to get him out and about yet but we’ve high hopes for this chap.

Crumble
Racing Name: No Detail
Date of Birth: August 2020
What a striking lad he is, despite having a stump for a tail! A happy chap who loves his walks and life in general π Not been out to the park yet but guess heβll find that as exciting as he does everything else! Can jump up for a βcuddleβ so maybe not with younger children as he doesnβt understand not everybody appreciates his brand of affection π

Dobby
Racing Name: Headford Lad
Date of Birth: April 2020
What a nice young dog. Walks really well and is super friendly with people. Dobby has a mohican thing going on and I can’t quite take him seriously, or look at him without smiling π He is a big lad and does need some work meeting other dogs out and about, he’s fine once he knows them. A striking big boy who just needs some training.

Jovi
Racing Name: Call Back Jack
Date of Birth: October 2019
Already on the favorites list from our volunteers to walk, a happy chap who couldn’t be more polite on his lead and around the kennels. Not big for a boy but what he lacks in stature he makes up for in manners. Tested well with the terrier, in fact couldn’t care less!! New in but another we are struggling to find fault with. We’re sure he’s going to make a super addition to someones household π

Mondee
Racing Name: Justin Time
Date of Birth: June 2017
What a strikingly handsome chap he is π A big boy, but has been so polite both around kennels and out and about. Doesn’t really like to share his kennel but is immaculately clean and loves his bed (i know that feeling π ) Can be a little stressed if too much is going on in the kennels but when it’s quiet he’s a chilled lad. His only ‘hang up’ is he doesn’t like his belly touched, not aggressive just screams the place down. He will be lifted but not from underneath. Maybe he’s just protecting his manhood?? lol A quieter home with older children perhaps for this super boy.

Patsy
Racing Name: Run on Patsy
Date of Birth: March 2020
A pretty little girl but a big personality! Quick to reprimand any grey who invades her space, just a warning to leave her alone. Settles well with her kennel mates once she has set down the boundaries, knows her own mind this girl π Can be a little strong out walking as she loves a squirrel! Walked in a harness which sorts this out. Not a super difficult girl, just needs some time and rules. Early days and she is settling down already.
-
Roman
Racing Name: Lightfoot Roman
Date of Birth: March 2021
Just a young chap but he is a whopper π A little shy on first meetings with new people but soon comes out of himself. He is benefitting from being walked by a different volunteer almost every time – all people are meaning walks now lol. Shares his kennel with a feisty female and doesn’t turn a hair at her bullying antics. Was good with Bugley (the terrier) after the initial excitement, walks nicely in our woods an all round lovely hound. If you’ve room on your sofa for a Big Un, Roman could be the one for you!!

Ruby
Racing Name: Ballyea Ruby
Date of Birth: July 2019
A stunning looking girl who knows her own mind! A sweet girl but she knows what she likes, funny how the girls are always the opinionated ones lol. Is a sensitive soul when it comes to the cold but once sheβs snuggly in her coat, walks well on our local walk, yet to get out and about but will keep you posted. Has met the terrier and was interested but not in a bad way, maybe just needs more exposure, which we are working on. An intelligent girl who needs some time and guidance but will make a great pet in the right home π
-
Sally
Racing name: Security Sally
Date of Birth: October 2020
Don’t need to wax lyrical about her looks, her photo speaks for itself! A lovely girl, quite new in but has settled immediately and so far hasn’t put a foot wrong. Has met the little uns and behaved extremely well. Living with anothr female grey, which shows what a nice natured girly she is. Yet to venture out but would be surprised if she didn’t do well – watch this space π
-
Sam
Racing Name: King Sam
Date of Birth: May 2018
What a handsome (and huge!!) chap our Sam is. He is a real delight around kennels and will tolerate even the feistiest of kennel mates, bless him. Walks like a dream on our local wood walk and is forever a cheerful and upbeat kinda guy. Was a little over-enthusiastic when meeting our little dog crew but just needs some more exposure and to just get used to the real world. Maybe not for first titme dog owners but the little dog thing is really the only fault we can find. We will be working on this with him β watch this space!
-
Scotty
Racing Name: Hazelwood Shot
Date of Birth: April 2019
A lovely stocky, bear of a hound is scotty, just can’t help but want to cuddle him π Very new in but has stolen hearts here already. Was very excited initially when going out for his walks but has settled quickly into the routine here and now walks like a true gent around our local countryside, has even been out walking with Bugley the terrier and after the initial excitement walked nicely with him, even sharing sniffs! If you’ve room for a big bear in your lives, come in and meet him π

Seb
Racing Name: Scotchrath Sebus
Date of Birth: June 2019
Seb has been retired a while, just waiting for a space in a homing kennel. He’s obviously spent his time eating well !! A bit of an unfit chubster at the moment but he loves his walks and we’re sure he’ll be back in shape soon. A super sweet chap who it is easy to fall in love with. A real softie who drew the short straw with his kennel mate but endures her sniping with good grace like the gentleman he is. Has met Bugley and took it in his stride, not yet fit enough to venture out but it won’t be long before he can bestow his charm on the outside world. Can’t fault this chap so far π
-
Socket
Racing Name: Four Way Socket
Date of Birth: April 2021
Socket is a tall, lanky lad but still very young so hopefully he will fill out and stop looking as though he needs a good meat pie π He’s going grey around his muzzle prematurely which belies his tender years. Not shy but a reserved lad who is still finding his feet with us. A real gentle soul who is taking everything in his stride so far, even his meeting with Bugley the terrier. Walks well on his lead with a halti and hasn’t given us a moments bother. A real nice boy π
-
Trigger
Racing Name: Trigger Point
Date of Birth: February 2021
Stupidly handsome is this chap, unusual colouring and a big strong lad. We do think he knows he’s stunning, so you can’t help but like him although he needs to learn some manners yet! Friendly and sociable but does go out of the gate for his walks like a bullet, soon settles once out but needs to learn to control his enthusiasm. Soon settled with the terrier once the initial over-excitement wore off but to be fair Bugley the terrier is more than a little over-excited himself! Trigger is only just out af racing and still just a youngster, so should settle down given time and rules. A great chap but needs a capable owner who will show him that he needs to start using his brain and not his brawn lol A typical ‘lad’ .
-
Whitney
Racing Name: Hollyoak Whitney
Date of Birth: October 2018
Acts like a 2 year old does our Whitney, think sheβs still decompressing from being a racing girl to a retired one. However she walks nicely and enjoys a good fuss. She was over-excited by our little dogs but we think she needs time to adjust to retirement and enjoy the slower pace of life it brings. A bright girl who picks things up quickly so weβve every hope that with a bit of guidance and patience she can morph into her inner couch potato lol. New in and will update as she settles.
