Greyhound Rescue Wales

Greyhound Rescue Wales began in 1993 with a small group of people trying to rescue Greyhounds and Lurchers in the Swansea area. Over the next few years the organisation grew quickly and attracted support from many parts of Wales. Greyhound Rescue Wales became a registered charity in 1996 when it covered the whole of Wales and is the longest established Greyhound charity in Wales and the only all Wales charity dedicated to rescuing and re-homing Greyhounds and Lurchers. GRW is a charitable company limited by guarantee, company number 08411721, charity number 1152650, and was established in this new form on 2nd June 2013. Where our dogs come from?Most of our dogs are given to us directly by their owners. Our dogs receive all the loving care and veterinary treatment they need for as long as they are with us. All are also neutered, vaccinated, wormed and micro-chipped. Greyhound Rescue Wales campaigns endlessly to spread the message that Greyhounds and Lurchers make wonderful pets and companion dogs. We continue to work with key partners to make sure that all Greyhounds in Wales receive protection in law in the future. Organisation and StructureGreyhound Rescue Wales is a membership organisation. It is a democratic organisation overseen by a board of trustees, who are elected annually at the Annual General meeting of members. All members and supporters are kept in touch through the twice yearly magazine "Greyhound Express" and our occasional e-newsletters. Each year we also produce an Annual Review. We employ a highly-skilled staff team led by a CEO, supported by four department managers. Together, our staff form the backbone of the charity, keeping things running all year round. They are supported by dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers, without whom we simply couldn't do what we do. FundingWe have to raise all our money ourselves and we make sure it goes a long way. We receive no government or greyhound industry funding.
