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!

Al
Racing Name: Al Capone
Date of Birth: February 2020
What a big striking lad is Al. Not blessed in the brains department but a loveable goofball. Still adjusting to all the new sights & sounds and can get a bit over excited but much to like 🙂 Was a bit full on with the terrier but he’s never seen one before and should settle the more of real life and other breeds that he sees. Shares so well with even a fiesty girl grey that we are hopeful his good nature will expand to encompass other breeds too. A boy we can’t help but like 🙂

Annie
Racing Name: Decisive Annie
Date of Birth: May 2020
A charming girl who is easy to handle in kennels, she can be a bit strong when walking but she’s just having a good time and hopefuly this will improve once she settles more. She likes the squirrels but was nice and polite when meeting the terrier. Has been out to the park with the volunteers, and was well behaved, there’s a lot to like about this pretty girly 🙂

Baker
Racing Name: Beggers Bullet
Date of Birth: July 2021
Super handsome chap with great manners and a happy demeanour. He’s like a puppy at times and can be over-stimulated by noise and movement. Met the terrier and whilst initially pretty rude, settled without too much trouble. Walks like a dream until something exciting happens lol A great boy who just needs exposure and to realise he’s retired now. Time, patience and more experiences should help him become the great pet we know he can be 🙂

Chas
Racing Name: Charlie Emtrynie
Date of Birth: October 2019
No I haven’t spelt his name wrong – who thinks these up?? Looks a bit serious in his picture but not in real life. 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 🙂

Connel
Racing Name: Scattered Canelo
Date of Birth: January 2020
Connel has been in a home with 2 other dogs, so is house trained but unfortunately after quite some time, was becoming increasingly dominent with them. A high energy boy who loves people but needs some rules and boundaries to make him a really happy boy. He is bright and learns quickly but this also means he learns good & bad in equal measure, given the opportunity! Has been out and about quite a lot and loves his adventures, he will however approach any human for a fuss! A great boy who maybe needs to be the only dog in the home. Connel deserves a second chance, could you be the one to give him this??

Cricket
Racing Name: Clairkeith Tegan
Date of Birth: December 2021
A super little girl who can be quite timid initially but is coming out of her shell and starting to show us her true character. Think the switch from racing to retirement kennels, where she is expected to take cuddles and kisses was a shock lol. Walks beautifully and didn’t bat an eyelid at our terrier so major plus points here 🙂 Maybe needs a semi rural or rural home just because she’s not so bold and town living may overwhelm her. A lovely girly who will blossom in the right home 🙂
-
Daz
Racing Name: Bitcoin Dazzler
Date of Birth: September 2020
Another striking chap who is a favorite with the staff due to his good manners and laid back attitude. Super tolerant of his nutty kennel mate, for which he needs a medal!! He’s a bit more switched on out walking but still an easy enough guy. Is waiting his turn to venture outside to the park but a clever lad who will soon adjust. Can be overlooked coz he’s not in your face but will make a great pet we’re sure 🙂
-
Duchess
Racing Name: Tommys Duchess
Date of Birth: March 2021
What a super girl she is, bigger than your average girl but beautiful manners and everything to like. She was thrown in at the deep end and did a meet & greet at Asda, a dog show and a country fair in her first 10 days with us! Apart from initially being a little worried by the noise from the stage at the country fair, she has taken all this in her stride. A lovely girl who will make a great addition to any family 🙂
-
Echo
Racing Name: Voltage Echo
Date of Birth: September 2021
Pretty, smaller but stocky girly who it seems, can do no wrong 🙂 Friendly, bubbly but not OTT, tested well with the terrier and has been out and about and behaved impeccably, what more could you want? Well maybe a dog with a whole tail – she is missing a bit of her tail but don’t hold it against her, she’s still a looker and can wag what she has left at every opportunity 🙂 An all round lovely hound!
-
Flash
Racing Name: Midas Flash
Date of Birth: January 2021
Flash is a great chap who settled straight in here. Didn’t mind the terrier at all and is an all round good guy. He is a big chap and can be strong on his lead but nothing that can’t be solved. Confident boy who enjoyed his trip out to the country park last weekend and behaved like a gent (apart from being a bit of a puller). He’s not been with us long and we will work on his lead manners but will make a great addition to someone’s household 🙂

John Boy
Racing Name: Yassoo John
Date of Birth: September 2018
John Boy is a real heart melter 🙂 He’s just a little reserved until he settles but loves a game once he feels comfortable with you. He walks like a dream although he enjoys a good sniffari whilst out. A real gentleman in the kennels and to add to all this he’s a striking chap 🙂 He’s a bit older than our average resident and he’s definitely ready for his retirement, can so see this boy snuggled on your sofa. Not ventured to the park yet but didn’t bat an eye at the terrier. A super chap who it’s hard not to like!

Lady
Racing Name: Knockbann Lady
Date of Birth: September 2019
Lady by name and lady by nature! A sweet girl who just settled straight in and hasn’t given us a moments worry. A happy little girl who gets on well with the other greys and was polite meeting the terrier. One of the walkers favourites as she is so amenable and a joy to have out. As she’s settled she has formed an opinion! but mostly just amusing as she knows what she wants 🙂 Can be excited by other dogs running off lead but will settle quickly with more exposure to the outside world. A great girl 🙂
-
Mya
Racing Name: Crossfield Mya
Date of Birth: January 2020
Such a pretty girly 🙂 Walks like a dream and loves a good cuddle. Is an angel around kennels and out on her local walks here but was a little worried by all the things going on in the big world when she went to the park. She wasn’t naughty just anxious although she did settle in the end. Just needs a more rural home and owners with the confidence and patience to introduce her the right way & maybe a confident doggy friend?? A super girl who is bright and will learn quickly, a lovely hound 🙂
-
Paddy
Racing Name: Coonough Paddy
Date of Birth: October 2021
A big, cuddly, hairy bear of a dog is Paddy. Super looking boy, who if he keeps his paws on the ground and not round your neck is a real cutie 🙂 Can be strong initially but settles on his walks and is loved by all that have walked him. New in, has met the terrier and was somewhat over enthusiastic until Bugley gave him a good telling off lol, he then hid in the corner and refused to look at the scary mutant dog 🙂 Would soon get the hang of other breeds with exposure but will keep you updtaed once he ventures out to the local parks. Maybe not with small children as he is a lump but great fun for older children or an adult only household.

Phil
Racing Name: Ballyphilip Fab
Date of Birth: June 2019
A handsome boy who just LOVES people. Will make a bouncy, wagging beeline for just about anyone who even glances his way lol Great with other greys but does need to do some socialising with other breeds as can be a bit over stimulated. He walks well on his daily sabbaticals around our woods and has yet to have his turn out in the real world. He can be a bit vocal for attention but is quiet if he hasn’t got an audience lol A great chap with loads of character, would do well either in a home where he’s not left too long or with another grey for company. A real cuddle monster looking for people he can call his own.

Sammy
Racing Name: Touchdown Baby
Date of Birth: August 2019
Sammy is a delightful smaller girl, who has super manners and is always pleased to see you. She shares well with her kennel mate and is no problem around other greyhounds. She does however not like other breeds at all 🙁 Very early days and if she can just get more exposure, we are sure she will improve as she’s a clever girl. Apart from this, the perfect pet, so we’ll work on her here and see where we can get. Such a shame but nobody’s perfect!

Scary Mary
Racing Name: Icecool Mary
Date of Birth: December 2021
Her racing name couldn’t be less accurate!! More like Red Hot Mary! Scary Mary isn’t in fact scary either – Just crazy!! She is a livewire, that’s for sure lol. But once you’ve wrestled her into a collar and lead, she walks nicely, although interested in everything and if you can get her attention she loves a cuddle and a fuss. She met the terrier the same way she takes on life – full on but no aggression, she even made him seem calm lol. If you have an active lifestyle and sense of humour, she could be the girl for you 🙂
-
Seanie
Racing Name: Sleepy Seanie
Date of Birth: June 2019
Such a good looking boy and a lovely chap 🙂 An easy boy around kennels and to walk but not afraid to let you know it’s dinner time, he does love his food but no aggression, just enthusiasm! Takes a treat politely and will happily eat treats on his bed with his kennel mate. Enjoys his walks in the woods but hasn’t been out to the park yet. He does have a shy side which he rarely shows but we know it’s there as he was quite timid for the first few hours when he arrived, soon decided it wasn’t such a bad place to be 🙂 Hopefully he won’t be here too long.
