👍👍 Such a lovely greyhound rescue centre, lovely welcoming staff and beautiful dogs. You can volunteer to walk dogs between 11-1.30 they explain everything and give you all the equipment you might need. You need to call in advance to book/register yourself but all was very easy. You can also walk dogs... People often mention dogs, walk, staff, greyhounds, lovely, people,

    Such a lovely greyhound rescue centre, lovely welcoming staff and beautiful dogs. You can volunteer to walk dogs between 11-1.30 they explain everything and give you all the equipment you might need. You need to call in advance to book/register yourself but all was very easy. You can also walk dogs to decide if you want to foster/adopt them. The best pets ever greyhounds are amazing companion and family dogs

    Nice people doing a great job looking after the dog's. We went to give them some towels as they are always glad of donations so if you have any spare towels. Sheets or duvets please give generously they would be very grateful thank you.

    Great place to try another dog. You can take a couple dogs each time me. There are well married. The staff are very welcoming. You can take a dog for a one day or a week trial.

    Its a charity for retired greyhounds. Most of them spend their lives in kennels. It welcomes volunteers to help walk the hounds and other forms of volunteering The staff and volunteers are extremely friendly and its a nice way to meet new people as well as the gorgeous greyhounds.

    Excellent welfare centre. We adopted our greyhound from here! They also provide boarding facilities!

    Amazing place. Sadly so many greyhounds without forever homes. Thank goodness for places like this... our Max and Cindy are two from here. Walking volunteers always needed. Always on hand to offer advice..

    Wonderful experience walking the dogs, they are quite calm and enjoy being out, would do this again whenever I'm the area

    The animals are well cared for emotionally and physically and we felt that the hounds we saw were benefitting and safe in the kennels

    Such an important cause. You can visit and walk the greyhounds, week days and weekends. They’re amazing dogs and the people running the charity are so caring and knowledgeable.

    Brilliant place, they work hard and really care for the dogs. We recently adopted from there (our first ever dog!) and were really well supported with advice.

    My husband and I adopted our lovely greyhound a couple of years ago from Wimbledon Greyhound Welfare. The staff were lovely and extremely helpful, before, during and after the adoption process, answering all the questions that we had. I could not recommend them enough. It is also possible to go there as a volunteer and walk the doggies, something that they love! So... Why don't you go there and take these beautiful doggies on a walkie, and who knows? Maybe you will meet your new best friend! :)

    The people here are wonderful, they care for up to 80 greyhounds. The staff are excellent at finding the right dog for you. Can't recommend them highly enough.

    I love the lockdown 'revamp' of the place and the surrounding stables. Dogs have been 'dressed up' and well looked after. I was not discouraged by the new booking system to enjoy walking happy dogs with my kids. It was a great experience for everyone, including the dog:)
