Wimbledon Greyhound Welfare (WGW) aims to promote careful and responsible rehoming of greyhounds and other sighthounds

We provide ongoing support to our adopters, including facilities to care for their greyhounds or other sighthounds on a temporary basis after rehoming and, should the need arise, on a longer-term basis until such time as the greyhound or other sighthound is found a suitable home.

And we look to educate the general public on the plight of greyhounds and other sighthounds, and to promote them as suitable pets.
