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 🙂

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??

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 🙂
-
Dusk
Racing Name: Miss Nightfall
Date of Birth: June 2023
Dusk is a stunning looking girl with a happy & bubbly personality. Being female, she has an opinion but she’s only a youngster and can be persuaded to change her viewpoint lol. She’s not as scatty as she could be at her age but is lively, although well mannered, and is loving life here with her woods walks and plenty of people to admire her 🙂 A super little hound who will enjoy a more active home.
-
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 🙂
-
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: Slowlane Misty
Date of Birth: July 2021
What a little beauty she is, a real looker and a very sweet girly 🙂 Misty loves people, once she knows them and will take all the fusss & attention she can get in a quiet undemanding way. Walks nicely on her lead but can be a little anxious in new situations, easily rectified by a kind word and confident encouragement. Never says no, just unsure, but soon recovers her normal happy demeanour. A super little girl who would probably be OK as an only dog or with a confident doggy friend 🙂

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.
-
Rocky
Racing Name : Insane Rocky
Date of Birth: September 2018
An older gent but a really sweet chap, can’t help but love him with his bonnet ears 🙂 Walks nicely and is learning to love his cuddles from the volunteers here. A little excited by the terrier but soon settled, wouldn’t take him long to accept other breeds. Rocky can be a little worried in new situations but doesn’t have a melt down, he’s just anxious. Not been out yet as he needs to get a little fitter first as he hasn’t raced for some time and has obviously just been lounging in his kennel – something he likes to do lol. A great chap who has the sweetest nature 🙂
-
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 🙂

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 but he has beautiful manners and a cheerful disposition 🙂 Barely glanced at our terrier and has been kenneled with a girl who knows her own mind with no problems. He’s a little unfit at the moment as he’s been waiting some time to get a rehoming space but is enjoying his walks and gets fitter every day. A lovely lanky lad who we will get out to the park as soon as he’s fit enough, don’t want to exhaust the poor chap – he thinks he’s joined the gym lol. Early days but so far a great boy with an easy going character 🙂
