Our hounds need many things while being cared for in the kennels, all of which cost money. As well as day-to-day expenses like food, the hounds also require medications, veterinary treatments, vaccinations, along with extras such as treats and toys!
Donating By Text
Donating is easy – Text Greyhounds and the amount you want to give to 70085 – so if you want to give £5, text: “Greyhounds 5” (without the quotes).
Texts cost the donation amount plus one standard network rate message.

Make It Personal
Sponsor A Kennel
Sponsoring a kennel costs £50 for one year and £500 for a lifetime.
People sponsor kennels in memory of greyhounds they have loved and lost, to say thank you, to celebrate a birthday or to remember a special person who is no longer with them. Or for any reason that is meaningful to them.

Remembering Us In Your Will
Legacies have helped us very much in recent years. Some have been a complete and wonderful surprise. We have been humbled by how important our hounds have been in the lives and families of their adopters, and how individuals have wanted their love for these dogs to be reflected in a gift after their death.
If you are considering remembering Homefinders in your will, please contact our Finance Trustee, Ian Woodrow, on 01493 378178, who can provide you with relevant information. It is important that you take independent legal advice when making or changing a will.
Join Our Lottery
One of our volunteers runs a weekly lottery – entry is £1 a week and there is a weekly prize of £60. The winner is based on the results of the first race each Wednesday evening at Yarmouth Greyhound Stadium.
If you are interested in joining the lottery, please email kennels@yarmouthgreyhoundhomefinders.co.uk.
Let’s Be Practical
We have an Amazon Wish List which our Kennel Manager maintains – the link will take you to a long list of items we use at the kennels all the time – and of course a few treats!
And Finally – A Bit Of Retail Therapy
We are increasing our range of merchandise. You can find mugs, glasses, pens, tote bags and other wonderful gifts in our kennel shop or at our events.
If you would like to purchase any of these items, please contact us.
