The RGOA, Ashwells (Greyhound Trust Brentwood), Home Run Hounds Romford Retired Greyhounds and Clarks Farm Rehoming Centre all work closely with the stadium to help find homes for our retired greyhounds. Please visit their websites for more information.

A greyhound will typically retire from racing between the ages of 2-5, and once they’ve hung up their racing boots they need a sofa to lie on and call their own! Greyhounds are commonly referred to as “couch potatoes” – They love a sofa! These amazing animals reach speeds of up to 45mph on the track for 30 seconds of racing, yet sleep for up to 18 hours a day!

Could you provide for one (or more!) of our furry friends? Here at Romford Stadium, we look after our greyhounds very well both during their sporting career and in their retirement.

All four of our partnered homing centres work tirelessly to provide forever homes for our retired racers to ensure they are happy and healthy.

If you would like to home one of our lovely retired greyhounds, please get in touch or if you want to know more about greyhounds after racing, please visit our partner's websites which can be seen below.

"We are a country of animal lovers and sports lovers so it is vital that animal welfare is at the heart of greyhound racing.

The industry employs over 7,000 people who work to provide outstanding care to the thousands of registered racing greyhounds throughout the country.

From vets, stewards and racing managers to trainers and kennel staff, everyone involved in greyhound racing does it for the love of our dogs and our enjoyment of seeing them do what they do best."
