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.

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?? 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??

Eily
Racing name: Â Move Over Eily
Date of birth: Â June 2023
Eily is only a young girl, who did race for a while but decided it wasn’t for her.  A lovely bubbly girl who still thinks she’s a baby.  Lovely manners and sweet natured with her kennel mate.  Has met the terrier and was polite and unphased.  Is young enough to adapt to almost any home, the sweetest little blank canvas.

Fi
Racing Name: Hollyoak Fiona
Date of Birth: October 2020
We’ve had Fi a while as she has had trouble with her feet poor girl. Corns, then sore feet from trying to walk off the corns. We think she’s sorted now with a little op and much tlc. However, she is the MOST Stubborn hound you have ever met and will plant herself if she doesn’t want to do something!! Miraculously has no trouble sprinting into our Tea Hut for some one on one time, where she morphs into a playful puppy 🙂 Getting her back out is a different matter! I love the bones of this girl, she is hilarious and loves me too. Unfortunately she’s not so keen on other breeds so wouldn’t tolerate Bugley (I do think she could learn this) but on top of this I walk miles because of the terrier and whilst she does enjoy her walks (if it suits her!), very long walks would be her worst nightmare! Reluctantly I write this to find her the home she so deserves.

Jilly
Racing name: Â Rathmeehan Jill
Date of birth: Â 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 🙂

Lola
Racing name: Â Limitless
Date of birth: Â July 2022
We really can’t fault this girl, she walks like a dream, not too big, affectionate, happy, not to mention beautiful!  She’s just an absolute pleasure to be around, a lovely steady girl and a really good all-rounder (can you tell we’re big fans?! 😂) – 5 stars for lovable Lola 🥰
-
Misty
Racing name: Â Sacred Mist
Date of birth: Â 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.
-
Nugget
Racing name: Â Oakgrove Golda
Date of birth: Â August 2019
What a little stunner this girl is, who gets all the ‘ooohs and aaahs’ from any visitors. She is slightly older at 6 years old, and full of personality.  Nugget was bred and raced by the same trainer so it was her first time out of that environment when she came to us, and consequently she was initially quite nervous, however she is slowly realising that the world is not as scary as she thought.  If you like getting kisses, you’ll like our Nugget!

Quincy
Racing name: Â Burrow Boston
Date of birth: Â September 2021
Every day is the best day ever for this happy girl!  She loves her walks, people, food, in fact just about everything.  Quincy is breed friendly and could live happily with another dog, as long as they could put up with her playfulness.  And obviously having white fur means she loves nothing more than rolling in the dirt 😂  If you’re looking for a fun time, ask for Quincy 🥰
-
Ritz
Racing name: Â Stophers Cracker
Date of birth: Â 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.

Rossy
Racing name: Â Ross Fantasy
Date of birth: Â September 2021
You can’t not love this girl.  Temperament wise the perfect pet.  Breed friendly, playful, walks like a dream, she’s a happy, sociable girl.  Her only downfall is she’s not going to win Crufts 😂.  Beautiful but is missing two toes on her back foot and has a fat elbow, none of which affects her mobility.  A super girly who will enhance any home with or without another dog.

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 🙂
-
Tessie
Racing name: Â Emers Tassie
Date of birth: Â July 2022
A lovely tall girl, legs for days! Â Tessie is a super affectionate girl who greets everyone with joy. Â She could live as an only dog or with another greyhound. Â 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. Â 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 🙂

Zorro
Racing Name: Patterdale Zorro
Date of Birth: September 2020
A real lanky lad but so very handsome 🙂 Couldn’t ask for a better walker and is sought after by our volunteers despite his size. A polite and friendly chap around kennels and behaved the same with the terrier 🙂 He has been out and about several times and behaved like the gentleman he is. So far a bit of a dream boat 🙂
