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!

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 🙂

Boozy
Racing Name: Boozed Blue
Date of Birth: July 2016
Boozy has come to us from another organization, he was picked up as a stray and doesn’t seem to have had the best life. He can be a little worried by new people and situations but soon warms to his ‘normal’ handlers. He walks like a dream around our normal walks but we are letting him settle before venturing out. Not a fan of other breeds but his reactions are fear based and we’re hoping he will soon learn they are just dogs like him. Loves the company of other greys and would benefit from a confident grey friend in the home. We’re in no hurry with this chap he needs us to get it right for him and find him his ideal forever home 🙂

Cara
Racing Name: Sicarias
Date of Birth: July 2021
What a little cutie 🙂 Could do with a good meat pie and may be the owner of a baldy bum but she’s beautiful inside 🙂 A lovely easy girl, who hasn’t put a foot wrong. Been out to the park and behaved like the little lady she is, greeted Bugley the terrier nicely and never a cross word with the other greys. So very much to love about this girly and not a thing to dislike 🙂 Super grey who we are sure will make the perfect pet.

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??

Grumble
Racing Name: Musnt Grumble
Date of Birth: February 2020
Totally the wrong name for this handsome chap – happy, loving boy who doesn’t complain about anything. Not his super overpowering girlfriend or anything else for that matter. Walks like a dream and has been out and about, has had no problem with other breeds and seems to quite like Bugley the terrier. He does have an auto-immune condition which affects his back feet and his ears but is under control with very small doses of steroids – we are hoping to be able to do without entirely but kennels is not the ideal place for him. Will make a great addition to any home and would probably be ok as an only dog or with company. We love Grumble 🙂

Jet
Racing Name: Joyful Jet
Date of Birth: September 2019
Jet can be a little miss scaredy pants and takes her cues from her handler. Not a fan of heavy traffic but will walk nicely with a confident human. She is super relaxed in the woods and on quieter roads (apart from the pesky squirrels that is lol). Jet can be a real cuddle monster given the chance and enjoys human company. She could live with another larger breed or another grey quite happily and may benefit from a confident doggy pal. A beautiful girly who needs us to find her the perfect home.

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. Still early days but doubt she will morph into a horror lol. A really nice girly who is a credit to the breed 🙂 Can be overlooked as she is such a sweetheart.
-
Magic
Racing Name: Rosies Magic
Date of Birth: September 2019
Magic is a great looking girl, with a fun and bubbly personality to match. Always happy to meet people, she can be a bit over enthusiastic and forget to keep her paws on the floor 🙂 We are working on this but it’s hard to keep a happy girl down lol Good as gold with other greys and not overly interested in the terrier, so other breeds should come easily enough with a bit of exposure. A super girl who would suit a home with older or no children, just because her ‘cuddles’ could be too much for little humans.

Messi
Racing Name: Baran Messi
Date of Birth: April 2021
What a pretty boy, easily mistaken for a girly 🙂 He was a bit shy the first day but soon realised we were friends not foe and is now a bouncy, happy chap. Walks nicely for our volunteers and is so good with his quirky kennel mate. Met Bugley the terrier and wasn’t bothered by him at all. Can be a bit protective of his food (although he’s a fussy boy!) but nothing dreadful, fine with treats etc just his bowl seems to be precious! Been out and about and while he was interested in all that was going on behaved like a really good boy. A great chap to have around 🙂
-
Patsy
Racing Name: Run on Patsy
Date of Birth: March 2020
A pretty little girl but a big personality! Patsy loves humans and is a real love bug. Quick to reprimand any grey or any dog (the reaction is the same to any breed) who invades her space, just a warning to leave her alone. Settles well with her kennel mates once she has set down the boundaries, knows her own mind this girl 🙂 Can be a little strong out walking as she loves a squirrel! Not a super difficult girl, just needs some time and rules.
-
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.
-
Rebel
Racing Name: Decisive Rebel
Date of Birth: June 2020
What a stunner, Rebel is still in racing mode both in physique (who wouldn’t love his ripped bod??) and with the pesky critters that climb trees in the woods lol When not being taunted by the local squirrels, he walks nicely and just enjoys his strolls. Rebel has lovely manners around the kennels and just needs to realise he’s retired now 🙂 Super laid back guy with other greys, was a little excited with Bugley the terrier (as was Bugley!!) but just interested not aggressive. Has been out and about and he is very interested in other breeds, especially running ones but wasn’t uncontrollable, just shouted a LOT! . With the right exposure to other dogs we’re sure he’s going to make someone a super pet 🙂
-
Riz
Racing Name: Risdale Lady
Date of Birth: August 2020
Super shy girl when she arrived but blossomed into a scatty, fun loving girly 🙂 Walks well and enjoys her walks in the woods but not been out yet as we don’t want to rush her as we know she has a sensitive side, she’s ready to venture forth now and will get her out and about as soon as possible. We do feel Riz would benefit from a confident doggy companion, not necessarily a grey as she was fine with Bugley the terrier but a dog to show her the ropes would help. Riz is a lovely girly and will make a great pet but probably in a quieter environment.
-
Scratch
Racing Name: Sharp Star
Date of Birth: September 2020
Larger than life is our Scratch! A bit of a live wire and takes everything on at full speed but one look at that super cute face and everything else is forgiven 🙂 He just loves life but has the concentration span of a gnat, nothing malicious but definitely not your typical laid back grey 🙂 A great boy for an active dog savvy home, at least you can be sure he’ll enjoy every minute lol
-
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.
-
Skippy
Racing Name: Unleash Skippy
Date of Birth: December 2021
Well someone unleashed her on us! What a little tornado this girly is lol Not your typical greyhound, nothing laid back happening here 🙂 Skippy is a sweet girl who loves life and can make a game out of a leaf dropping! She is nearly 3 (going on 3 months) but behaves just like a pup. She did go out to the park and was just super excited by everything the whole time but not aggressive. Was much the same when she met the terrier, she was a lot for even Bugley, who is used to being the crazy one but no aggression, she just thought he was a great toy lol If you’re actually a thwarted collie owner Skippy could be the girl for you !
-
Sydney
Racing Name: Dairyhill Sydney
Date of Birth: May 2022
Undeniably handsome and once you’ve wrestled him onto his lead and he’s walking, a well mannered and affectionate lad. The lead game is Super exciting (for both him and us!) and it’s only enthusiasm, he isn’t 3 yet! Has been polite around other breeds and this really shouldn’t be a problem but food is!! No aggression but PLENTY of enthusiasm 🙂 Did at one point threaten to stand on the table whilst at the county park cafe and has yet to learn to rein in his foodie nature. Certainly not a dog who you will struggle to get to eat lol. All round a super chap who acts his young age, relatively intelligent so will learn quickly with the right guidelines. If you’re willing to eat in the cupboard whilst he learns food manners, do come and meet this great chap 🙂
-
Socket
Racing Name: Four Way Socket
Date of Birth: April 2021
Socket is a tall, lanky lad but still very young so hopefully he will fill out and stop looking as though he needs a good meat pie 🙂 He’s going grey around his muzzle prematurely which belies his tender years. Not shy but a reserved lad who is still finding his feet with us. A real gentle soul who is taking everything in his stride so far, even his meeting with Bugley the terrier. Walks well on his lead with a halti and hasn’t given us a moments bother. A real nice boy 🙂
-
Speedy
Racing Name: Wheres Speedy
Date of Birth: January 2020
A real people guy is Speedy, begs for attention as soon as he sets eyes on a person and he’s hard to resist 🙂 A hansome guy who loves his walks but is a fair sized dog and can be a bit of a puller at times, doesn’t detract from his appeal though and easily rectified with a bit of training. Greeted the terrier politely and has been out to the park and behaved like a true gent. A great boy whose enthusiasm is infectious 🙂
-
Topaz
Racing Name: Aulton Jewel
Date of Birth: July 2020
Bit of a stunner our Topaz and she knows it! Can be quite demanding of attention but a super sweet girl once she gets you hooked 🙂 She is a larger lady but who cares with that face?? She’d like to be a labrador (well she is the right colour) and never turns down food. Walks well out in the woods once she gets over the excitement of getting out the gate lol Met the terrier and couldn’t care less, thought he was quite fun actually. Has been out to the parks and while initially quite strong on her lead soon settles and enjoyable walks were had by all. Not sure why she’s not been snapped up, maybe she’s waiting for the right person – could that be you??
-
Whitney
Racing Name: Hollyoak Whitney
Date of Birth: October 2018
Acts like a 2 year old does our Whitney, can be a bit over excited in the paddock and loves a good tear up. However she walks nicely and enjoys a good fuss. She is not great with other breeds, she’s actually terrified but has decided attack is the best form of defence. Has been out to the park on numerous occasions and as long as she’s with someone she knows can ignore other dogs. She will need time to adjust when going into a home as she doesn’t trust on first sight. A bright girl who picks things up quickly so we’ve every hope that with a bit of guidance and patience she can morph into her inner couch potato lol.
