Every hound deserves a life free from risk or need
At Forever Hounds Trust, we rescue, rehabilitate and rehome greyhounds and lurchers across the UK.
Too many hounds, too few homes
The greyhound racing industry produces more dogs than it can sustain. When dogs are no longer fast, young, or profitable enough, they are considered surplus - and that is where we come in.
We give the dogs in our care the support they need to become the gentle companions they were always meant to be.
Besides discarded racing dogs, we rescue other working hounds as well as pets that can no longer stay with their current owner, for whatever reason.
[would be nice to have a number here - how many hounds per year need rehoming, through FHT or general?]
