GREYHOUND AND LURCHER WELFARE AND RESCUE Registered Charity No: 1118665
GLWR - Registered Charity Number: 1118665 Greyhound and Lurcher Welfare and Rescue was set up following the closure of the Glastonbury race track. We were concerned that greyhounds, seen by trainers as no longer "useful", might be put to sleep, and we wanted to offer a real alternative for these elegant sighthounds.
We also see so many lurchers (sighthound crossbreeds) used and abused for hunting, ill treated and abandoned that we decided to include these dogs in our remit too.
