Brighton Greyhound Owners Association

The Brighton Greyhound Owners Associated Retired Trust for Ex Racing Greyhounds was set up to ensure to house, prior to resettlement and rehoming, retired racing greyhounds with the aim of ensuring a permanent, happy retirement.  Historically, these animals can suffer terrible abuse or neglect once they can no longer race – in extreme but often too frequent cases, a healthy dog can often face death.  This organisation was set up to ensure that healthy animals were offered a second chance and rehomed locally, making excellent pets. Our funding of £1,762.50 will go towards the cost of replacement doors and kennel panels.
