Greyhounds may be gentle, but their love is unforgettable. From soft “roos” to leaning cuddles, they form loyal, lasting bonds. Discover the signs of greyhound affection and why adopting one brings a unique, life-changing love into your home.

Jack and Grace share their experience of adopting Cassandra, their first ever greyhound. From first meeting her at Crossing Cottage Greyhound Sanctuary to settling into home life, they explain what surprised them most, and why a retired racing greyhound can be a brilliant choice for first-time dog owners.

As part of our Happily Homed series celebrating all types of love, volunteer Shona from Whittingham Kennels shares Willow’s heartwarming journey from retired racer to playful, much-loved family companion. This story shows just how beautifully greyhounds adapt to family life, even in busy homes with children and other dogs.
