Greyhounds are a dog breed known for their fast speeds when racing and for their skills of sight in hunting. 

But retired dogs can make a loving family pet – and some are in need of rehoming here in Suffolk.

Here are some of the greyhounds available at Greyhound Trust Suffolk and Mildenhall Greyhound Trust.

"She loves plenty of fuss, being groomed and, of course, her treats".

A spokesperson for the trust says everyone adores her, and they think she would like to live with another dog. 

Mindy

Gus

Gus is a real character with "amazing" multi-directional ears, the trust said.

It added: "He is very affectionate and loves to play with his tennis balls in the paddocks".

Gus can be a little exuberant when he first comes out of his kennel but that is due to excitement.
