About Us

The Sittingbourne Retired Greyhound Trust has been set up to re-home some of the Greyhounds that were racing at the Central Park Stadium Sittingbourne and for one reason or another can no longer continue.

Despite popular misconceptions greyhounds are, Gentle and adaptable, making them ideal family pets, Lazy couch potatoes needing only two twenty minute walks a day. When rehomed responsibly they can live with other pets including cats. Totally addictive once you’ve owned a greyhound you’ll never be without one.

What happens to greyhounds at the end of their career? Approximately 9,000 greyhounds retire from racing each year nationwide, typically between four and six years of age. Many never make the grade or retire at a much younger age as a result of minor injury. A great many owners will adopt greyhounds into their homes or arrange for them to live out their retirement at a kennel. If an owner cannot take their greyhound home, for what ever reason, they will be placed on the web site and offered to the public for adoption.
