In the charity's own words
Erin Hounds is based in the North-West of England and rehabilitates and rehomes sighthounds, mainly greyhounds and lurchers and mostly from Ireland. Most of our hounds are cared for in foster homes while loving homes are sought for them. We aim to match the right dog with the right home and carry out homechecks before rehoming. All dogs are vaccinated, microchipped and neutered.
