Activities

'It carries out activities or services itself'

'the advancement of animal welfare'

DCGR is set up to find homes for ex-racing greyhounds or greyhounds that have never reached the track and are therefore unwanted by their owners/trainers. They also promote greyhounds as family pets by attending events, giving talks and organising their own Meet a Greyhound Days

Beneficiaries: 'No specific group, or for the benefit of the community'

Objectives: The relief of suffering of racing/coursing Greyhounds and Lurchers, that have been abandoned or retired within Dumfries and Galloway and Cumbria and surrounding areas and which are in need of care, in an effort to aid in the rescue and re-homing of said dogs.
