Welcome to Crossing Cottage Greyhound Sanctuary
We are the East Midlands and Nottinghamshire branch of the Retired Greyhound Trust (RGT), a national charity that was established to ensure the long-term welfare of greyhounds after retirement from racing.
Every year between eight and nine thousand greyhounds, aged from 2 to 6 years, retire from racing and, thanks to the efforts of the RGT, many of them are found new homes with families.
Greyhounds make wonderful family pets. They are intelligent, lovable, fun-loving, gentle creatures and make loyal companions for people of all ages.
Many people think that greyhounds need lots of exercise. But the truth is they are sprinters rather than long distance runners. Two 20-minute walks every day is enough to satisfy them, although they are also happy to go on longer walks.
Our job is to find the right homes for our charges. The dogs we have available can be seen on this site and there is also lots of information about greyhounds and how to look after them. Have a look and then give us a call - or better still come to the kennels and meet the dogs at first hand. You’ll be very welcome
The next walk will be on 11th April 2010 at Moira Furnace, Furnace Lane, Swadlincote, Derbyshire DE12 6AT. Meet at the main car park at 10.45am to walk at 11.00am. Two walks, one short approximately half an hour and a longer one, forty five minutes to 1 hour. There is a nice cafe where we can have a chat and catch up with friends old and new. Everyone welcome whether you are a greyhound owner or not, this is a great opportunity to walk and chat with greyhound owners to find out about greyhounds and a chance to get to know some of them. If you have been turned down as a prospective adopter of a greyhound please speak to us we may be able to help. We look forward to seeing you all on the 11th April.
