About the charity

Greyhound Rescue West of England (GRWE) is the leading independent greyhound rescue charity in England and Wales, dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming of abused and abandoned greyhounds and greyhound crosses. At any given time we have around 70 dogs in our care.

Entirely run by volunteers, the charity receives no financial help from the racing industry and is completely reliant on donations. From humble beginnings in the west of England GRWE now operates nationally, mainly across Somerset, Dorset, Devon, Herefordshire, Gloucestershire, Shropshire, Lancashire, Cheshire and Cornwall, and east across to Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Hampshire. GRWE now rehomes over 500 of these special dogs every year.
