INTERESTED IN ADOPTING? –  Contact us and we will send you a pre adoption form. Once we know what you are looking for, we can see if we have a match.

HOUND TRAILERS – Please ring Sue or Barbara if you have a hound you wish to rehome.
We can offer the following options:
* We can find a home privately for your hound (either with it staying with you until adopted OR for it to come into our care until adopted).
* We can send your hound to a trusted external rehoming centre, in which case they take over sole responsibility for it. We have been lucky to be supported by these centres for many years, and they find fantastic homes.
* If you decide to find a retirement home yourselves without our input, we are still happy to pay for neutering, and to assist with home checks, if you require it.
* If you have a hound that needs to come in urgently, we are always happy to try and help without a long wait.
* If you have a hound with a racing injury, please get in touch. We have previously found great homes for hounds, including amputees, once we have had their vet work done. We are happy to cover vet costs.

Sid is currently in foster with us. He loves to play with other dogs.

Sid has a gentle and laid back disposition and will make a super pet. Sid needs a secure garden as he loves to put his nose down and follow a scent! He loves his walks and goes well on a lead. He enjoys human company and is very willing to engage and learn.

Please contact us for more information.

Dan is 4 years old. He is a lovely friendly boy enjoys playing ball with you. He is pictured below with Bella (he is in right in 2 pictures)

Bella is just 8 years young. She is a gentle and friendly hound. She currently lives on a farm in west Cumbria with a variety of other animals. She will make a lovely pet for someone looking for a slightly older hound. We went for a walk with her family recently and she was very good on a lead. She is pictured with Dan who is one of her friends at the farm.

Mo is 7 years old. (tri colour in photo). She is a little bit shy and may be happier living with another dog. She is a very sweet hound who would love a sofa to cuddle up on.

If you are interested in finding out about either of these girls then please get in touch with us.

If you are after a big-hearted adventure buddy who brings joy (and a fair bit of laughter) everywhere he goes, Hartley might be just your lad. At three and a half years old, this Foxhound is a gorgeous blend of goofy charm, boundless curiosity and classic hound enthusiasm. If you are someone who enjoys a dog who makes friends everywhere he goes, Hartley will make your heart melt daily. He is wonderfully friendly with other dogs, leans in for fuss like the oversized teddy bear he is and treats every new person like a long-lost pal. He is endlessly curious, loves exploring new environments and is in his absolute element when he is using that incredible hound nose during tracking or scent games. Car journeys are a breeze with Hartley—he jumps straight into the boot without a second thought. You will just need a good-sized boot space to fit his impressive frame and keep him safely contained, especially as he can be a bit silly and animated with his happy tail while travelling. If you are looking for a cheerful, affectionate, slightly oversized clown who will brighten your days, keep you smiling and be a loyal companion to both you and your resident dog, Hartley might be exactly who you have been searching for.

He is confident and friendly with people. Robbie has not lived with cats.  In the photos, his coat has been clipped shorter for racing. It will grow back over the next few months. Robbie would benefit from an active home, he may even enjoy running or canicross. He can be around dog-savvy children although he will need a home that will have the time to dedicate to training and exercising him. He will make a super pet.

Polly is the sweetest little hound you could meet, and we are loving having her stay with us. She is a fun and cheeky companion who loves to play with other dogs. She adores playing with toys, and carrying them around with her.

Polly will need a secure garden in a home in a rural and quiet location. Unexpected noises bother her. She is shy of new people but really comes out of her shell once she knows you. She gets on great with other dogs of all sizes and has lived among farm animals. She could live with older children who will understand the importance of keeping gates/doors closed. Polly would love to live with an outgoing dog to help her confidence. If you would like to know more about Polly, then call us or drop us an email. Polly met a cat in a house (under supervision) and, although she wasn’t trying to hurt it, she was very excited and not listening to the cat’s signals to leave her alone, so we are not going to home her with cats.

If you enjoy jogging or canicross, Polly may be a perfect running partner. A running friend has been taking Polly on runs on the fells, and she is loving it. Check out her videos on our Facebook  Facebook and  INSTAGRAM

POLLY’S HISTORY In case anyone wonders why Polly has been available for some time, it may help if we explain more of her history. When she was racing in 2024, she got lost on the fells. She was out for a number of days with no sightings, despite her family and friends searching daily for her. She was finally found on the 9th day. For this reason, we are being very careful of the home that we choose for her. It must meet her needs exactly.

March 2026 UPDATE Polly recently had a 2 week break in Devon to see if the home may suit her needs. Polly loved going for long country runs but was less keen on walking through the busy, and sometimes noisy, village. She loved cuddling up with the family on the sofa but was less happy in the garden which was surrounded by other cottages and their associated noises. Polly is very dog friendly but the young dog in the home was a bit too excited  by her presence, and was showing no signs of calming down. Ultimately , we all agreed that it was not quite right for her, but we learnt more about her needs. We absolutely know that a perfect home is out there for her.  Please contact us for a chat to find out more about Polly.
