Clare Greyhound Sanctuary is a small, privately run rescue in the west of Ireland.

We mainly help greyhounds finding pet homes when they have finished their careers for one reason or another, but the odd lurcher have found sanctuary here as well.

The dogs here live in groups rather than kennels in order to prepare them for pet life. They learn their names, basic commands, how to behave around other hounds and are properly assessed before they are adopted out. Much effort is put into matching the right hound to the right home.

Dogs are also cat tested should the need arise.

At the most we can have around 16 dogs here, and our dogs are available for adoption in Ireland and Europe.
