**What the charity does:** In essence, DCGR was set up to to find homes for ex-racing greyhounds which on some occasions, would be put to sleep purely because they were 'surplus to requirements'.

Our greyhounds are not given away but are provided to suitable person following a robust vetting process and if successful, a donation is accepted from the adopter.
