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.
Greyhound Trust Suffolk
Danny
Danny is described as "a sweet little girl" who has been at the kennels since she was a puppy.
"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
This greyhound is described as a "live wire who loves plenty of human attention".
She behaves well on walks and around other dogs, and has shared her kennel nicely.
Mindy has only been at the trust for a couple of months and is gaining confidence every day.
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.

River
River was a stray before he arrived at the centre.
His two front legs may look out-turned but he has been X-rayed and there is nothing wrong.
River is friendly, easy going and very fond of his treats and "has the makings of a great pet".
Billie Jay
Bille Jay is a female dog who is a "very friendly and playful dog".
The centre says she walks well on the lead and would suit a family with children over the age of 10.
Logan
Logan has been with Mildenhall Greyhound Trust for a long time.
He is a little shy at first meeting and "will need support to transition successfully to a family home".
Logan has grown in confidence and is a "real friendly boy".
