This month DCGR is 10 years old and what a 10 years it has been. The Charity is now a main player in the charity scene in Dumfries and Galloway and Cumbria, is financially stable as any charity can be in these times and has found homes for over 755 greyhounds throughout our region.  We would like to thank all our members and supporters for their assistance over the years for without them, we would not be as successful as we undoubtedly are. We have some really big events planned for 2012 so keep watching the website for up to date news

ALL PROCEEDS GO TO SAVING EX-RACING GREYHOUNDS 

If you wish to donate to our charity and help please click this link. This donation helps us provide kennel fees,vet fees,and fostering expenses etc. for retired and abandoned greyhounds.

Thank you for visiting our website.  Whether you're interested in adopting a dog, supporting Dumfriesshire & Cumbria Greyhound Rescue, or generally interested in greyhound welfare, we hope you will enjoy browsing through our site. 
We foster and rehome ex-racing and ex-coursing dogs throughout South-West Scotland, Cumbria and sometimes even further afield!  During the last 9 and a bit years over 700 happy hounds have found loving homes.  You can see some of them on our Homed Gallery.
Our resident dogs are temporarily boarding in the Homeless Gallery, hoping to soon make it to the Homed page!  

Could you foster a greyhound?
Do you have the time to give one of our dogs a temporary home?  The encouragement to help them adapt to family life?  The stability to be their first real contact with a world outside racing?  The patience to help them trust people if they have been abused or neglected?   Foster homes are invaluable. 
To find out what's involved and how you could become a DCGR Fosterer ring Viv on 01899 880269 or email info@dgrescue.org.uk
