Judith said: “April is Adopt a greyhound month and I’d encourage anyone thinking about getting a dog to consider a greyhound.
“Retired greyhounds make amazing pets and they really do deserve a chance.
“The dogs we have available can be seen on our website and there is also lots of information about greyhounds and how to look after them.
“Have a look and then give us a call – you can arrange to come down to the kennels and meet the dogs. We operate on an appointment based system.”
