Agreement : click the 'Accept' button if you agree to these terms:
I understand that if I rehome a dog he/she is to be rehomed as a house pet and is not to be kenneled or chained up. He/she will be a companion and not a guard dog or a racing or hunting dog. Kerry Greyhounds UK will retain overall ownership of the dog and reserves the right to reclaim the dog if it is not being fed, housed or cared for to their satisfaction. Should I ever need to find another home for the dog, I will consult Kerry Greyhounds UK about this before making any other arrangements for the dog.
I understand that although Kerry Greyhounds UK will provide all relevant information about the dog, a complete history is not always available:
I accept these Terms Accept:
