The Greyhound Trust was founded in 1975, since then we are proud to have found over 85,000 loving homes for greyhounds. Each year, we home about 4,000 retired racing greyhounds and help hundreds more, but there are many more that still need us. All money goes directly to helping our hounds.

Story

<p><span style="color: #800080;">Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #800080;"><br /></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #800080;">On 20/08/11 I will be diving out of an aeroplane at 10,000ft, falling at 120mph in order to raise money for the Retired Greyhound Trust, a registered charity which aims to re-home as many retired greyhounds as possible.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #800080;"><br /></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #800080;">Each year, approximately 10,000 greyhounds retire from racing, typically aged between just 3 and 4.&nbsp; Many never make the grade or retire at a much younger age as a result of minor injury.&nbsp; Some owners adopt greyhounds into their homes but others will live out their retirement in kennels.&nbsp; Sadly, it is not unheard of for owners to kill their retired hounds and dump their bodies with the ears cut off so the dog cannot be identified by its registration tattoo.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #800080;"><br /></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #800080;">Greyhounds make great pets, they are intelligent, gentle and affectionate creatures who all deserve a loving home so PLEASE help me to raise money to help re-home these wonderful dogs.&nbsp; All monies donated to the RGT are used for the welfare of the dogs - kennelling, transport, vaccinations, neutering, dental treatment, etc.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #800080;"><br /></span></p> <p><span style="color: #800080;">Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
