Welcome to
Barley Greyhound Sanctuary
Our goal is to provide the best care for Greyhounds when their racing career has ended and to find them their forever homes!
Who are we?
Barley Greyhound Sanctuary is run by a committee of volunteers. We take in and look after Greyhounds from all over the UK and we find them their forever loving homes to enjoy their retirements in.

What do we do and why?
Here at Barley Greyhound Sanctuary we are a very close knit team of staff and volunteers. We all passionately believe that each and every Greyhound deserves a loving and secure life after racing.
We have been helping Greyhounds for 20 years and pride ourselves in finding the dogs the best homes possible and matching them to their adopters. All our dogs are neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, go home with collar & lead, house collar, muzzle, 4 weeks free insurance, information pack and a lifetime of support and back up should you ever need it. We carry out homechecks before allowing the Greyhounds to leave our care, this is nothing to worry about, we just like to make sure a Greyhound will fit into your home/lifestyle.
Greyhounds make the most amazing pets and there are so many looking for their forever homes in retirement. If you are thinking about offering a home to a dog please consider a Greyhound.
Would you like advice on how to care for a retired Greyhound? Our Hound Care blogs are designed to help Greyhound adopters learn all they need to know about Greyhounds.
Interested in adopting a Greyhound?
Greyhounds make great pets and are suitable for all kinds of families. Whether you work, have children or other pets, we look at all situations individually and work hard to match the right Greyhound with the right family.
