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!

Bonio
Racing Name: Ondogandbone
Date of Birth: January 2022
A handsome boy who is very new in. After the initial excitement he settles well once walking but struggles to walk a straight line lol. He did meet Bugley the terrier and was a bit full on but not aggressive and took Bugley’s telling off well. Still settling and improving every day – will keep you posted on his progress.

Boris
Racing Name: Westwood Boris
Date of Birth: October 2024
Boris is currently a tad scared of the world but then he is only a baby, not yet even 2 years old. He does however try to put on his big boy pants and be brave just to please you, and does enjoy his walks. He wasn’t fazed at all meeting the terrier, in fact seemed to not even notice he was there. He has a lovely gentle nature that has made us all fall in love with him, and whilst he doesn’t actively seek affection yet, he does quite enjoy it when he gets it – so we make sure he gets quite a bit of it! He is absolutely going to blossom into the most gorgeous boy.

Chance
Racing Name: Easy Chance
Date of Birth: October 2021
What a striking chap! A handsome chap but not the brightest! Can’t walk a straight line but easy enough to walk so long as you don’t trip over him lol. Was a bit excited by the terrier but not aggressive just interested and a bit full on (he did get told off by Bugley but took a time to register lol). Did settle and realised the error of his ways – maybe I’m being harsh but not the quickest learner 🙂 Loves a toy and can often be seen walking round the paddock ‘nursing’ his latest find. Will give it up without protest but really would like to take to bed, which his kennel mate wouldn’t appreciate! Not been out yet but guess he’ll be his normal goofball self – will keep you updated. A loveable boy but he’ll never be an obedience champion lol, but will make a great companion.

Chas
Racing Name: Charlie Emtrynie
Date of Birth: October 2019
No I haven’t spelt his name wrong – who thinks these up?? A happy, charming boy, a big lad but luckily has good manners and walks well for our volunteers. Has been in a home and was impeccably behaved apart from his over excitement with little dogs, this needs some work but not impossible. Just a bit too much for his previous owners. If you have the knowledge and time to work with him and other breeds he could become your perfect dog 🙂

Conker
Racing Name: Tempus Vincere
Date of Birth: August 2022
We could wax lyrical about this girl all day! She’s just the prettiest little thing with the most adorable overbite so looks a bit goofy. She’s very cuddly and sinks into your arms like one of those collapsible toys, she’s also partial to a bit of nose to nose flirting. Nice and confident with her kennel mates, she’s probably going to be in charge, but not in a bossy way. She has met the terrier and he didn’t make a huge impact on her so that’s a good sign. If you look up ‘adorable’ in the dictionary you’ll find Conker 🥰

Conor
Racing Name: Rough Conor
Date of Birth: October 2020
Where Conor has been blessed in the looks department, I’m afraid there’s not much going on in his brain apart from butterflies and rainbows. A very amenable chap who loves everyone, but couldn’t walk in a straight line to save his life. He was absolutely fine when he met the terrier, not pushy, nice manners, just a big cheerful lump of love. Perfect for anyone who wants to bring a little more sunshine into their lives 🌞🥰

Daz
Racing Name: Bitcoin Dazzler
Date of Birth: September 2020
A striking chap who is a favourite with the staff due to his good manners and laid back attitude. Currently sharing nicely with an older lady, but previous partners have tested his patience and he has behaved impeccably with them. Daz has had a few minor health issues where he was losing weight, however, he’s now back to happy and healthy. He’s had several outings to local parks and whilst he’s a bit more switched on out walking, he’s still an easy enough guy. He’s also rather partial to a milko lolly and a spot of sunbathing 😎. Can be overlooked because he’s not in your face but will make a great pet we’re sure.

Frankie
Racing Name: Yassoo Blue Eyes
Date of Birth: September 2021
Quite a small girl with a bubbly personality, with just the start of a frosty face even though she’s not old. She wants to make friends with everyone she meets and always has a waggy tail on approach. She’s just one of those positive attitude girls, loves her walks, can be quite keen but she’s just excited by life and does calm down nicely. She was absolutely fine on meeting the terrier, she’s just a lovely well-rounded little girl looking for someone to love her. -
Jilly
Racing name: Rathmeehan Jill
Date of birth: June 2022
Jilly came in as a timid little thing but after a few days with us is coming out of her shell and letting us know that actually she’s just a funloving gal! She’s very dainty, wearing our smallest collar, loves people, walks nicely and is very affectionate. She can be a bit of a fussy eater, but is gradually coming out of that now.

King
Racing Name: One Cool King
Date of Birth: July 2020
Another lump who doesn’t know his size lol. A big, bouncy lad who has a certain joie de vivre and who you can count on to make you laugh. Tested with Bugley (the terrier) well, once Bugley told him to take it steady in no uncertain terms, backed off and learnt to approach with less enthusiasm! A great boy who learns quickly but who would need an owner experienced enough to curb his enthusiasm and enjoy his love of life. A lot of fun for the right household 🙂
-
Misty
Racing name: Sacred Mist
Date of birth: April 2022
Such a sweet girl who has been absolutely loving her walks in the local woods. She’s affectionate and eats really well, no fusspots here! She has a slight nervous side to her and would probably benefit from living with another dog, but all in all a super little girl.
-
Moe
Racing Name: Wicky Moe
Date of Birth: October 2021
A nice boy with a very jolly demeanour, although can’t walk in a straight line to save his life 😂. Has been out a couple of times, and does need to get used to other breeds, but we think this will be a quick fix, especially as he has been charged at by an aggressive offlead dog, and behaved like a gentleman. He’s super friendly with the humans and acts a bit like a toddler who has just learnt to walk – an all round nice guy.
-
Ritz
Racing name: Stophers Cracker
Date of birth: December 2021
Ritz is a small slender boy with beautiful soulful eyes. He does need some work on exposure to life outside the kennels and our local woods as he can be a little over-excited, but it’s very early days for him. He also needs a bit more fattening up but all in all he’s been lovely with his kennel mate and polite in the kennels so we have high hopes for this little boy.
-
Simba
Racing Name: Murdan Lad
Date of Birth: August 2022
Striking looking chap that you can’t help but squeeze – luckily he seems to enjoy this lol. A big, furry teddy bear of a grey who enjoys his walks and behaves well around kennels. Kennels well with his slightly scatty girly. A bit over zealous with the terrier but the sort who will get the idea with exposure. We will get him out and about as soon as we can, as apart from this he is a great chap 🙂
-
Smartie
Racing Name: Dark Slayer
Date of Birth: November 2018
Who would call a dog Dark Slayer?? Especially one as nice as Smartie? A big lad who has settled in well but can get excited by new things. No real aggression towards the smaller dogs but can be rude around them when he gets too stimulated. Around kennels an easy, happy lad who is enjoying his time with us. Smartie just needs a bit more exposure to the real world. A great boy 🙂
-
Soldier
Racing Name: Ballynew Soldier
Date of Birth: September 2023
This gorgeous boy has been with us for a few weeks now, but as he had a toe amputation plus a broken toe on the same paw we wanted him to be fully healed before showing him off. He’s fit as a fiddle now, thank goodness, as he has been desperate to go for a proper walk which he can now thoroughly enjoy. He’s interested in all the sights and sniffs but equally interested in getting a cuddle. Well behaved and polite around humans and the terrier alike, plus extremely handsome, we think he’s pretty perfect!
-
Sparky
Racing name: Croydon Bay
Date of birth: May 2023
Sparky is a bit of a doofus, but being a young lad, we’ll give him the benefit of the doubt that he may still grow a few brain cells 😂. He hasn’t been out and about yet but immensely enjoys his walks around our local woods, although he can become a little overexcited at new sights and sounds. Nothing a bit more exposure to the big wide world won’t be able to sort, all in all a sweet boy.
-
Tessie
Racing name: Emers Tassie
Date of birth: July 2022
A lovely tall girl, legs for days! Tessie is a super affectionate girl who greets everyone with joy. She could live as an only dog or with another greyhound. She does need a little more exposure to the big wide world to get her used to the fact that other breeds also exist in her world. A lovely happy soul.
-
Waltzer
Racing Name: Waltz Madge
Date of Birth: January 2021
Waltzer is not a small girl but large in frame and in heart 🙂 A lovely girl who doesn’t seem keen on sharing her space, so would likely thrive as an only dog. Not a great fan of other breeds but will ignore with the right cues. She can be overly excited by anything fast moving, from birds, squirrels or even horses running in a field lol . She loves her cuddly toys and her food! Although not without her idiosyncrasies, she is a loveable girl and has a way about her which makes you love her 🙂
-
Zoe
Racing Name: Zoes Angel
Date of Birth: January 2023
Such a pretty face, and a happy little girl. She can be quite startled by unexpected loud noises, but gets over it pretty quickly, having been terrified of the loud cars at Brands Hatch initially to now taking it in her stride. She can be a bit of a nibbler, when she’s excited to go out she’ll frequently grab hold of a sleeve to let you know it’s her turn. No malice in it, she’s just making sure you don’t forget her 😂
