Boarding for your Greyhound
We are often asked for recommendations for boarding for pet greyhounds around New Zealand.
Consequently we have put together this brief list of recommendations which we have learned from either our own understanding, or from testimonials from pet owners.
Please feel free to update us with your experiences, or get in touch to ask about a boarding situation not on this list.
If you own or manage a boarding kennel or homestay and want to be on this list, please get in touch and tell us how you can care for a greuyhound's specific needs. If you own a greyhound and you've had a great experience at another boarding facility, let us know!

Womble is a loving dog who has been a pet his whole life - due to losing a leg as a baby puppy. He does not let being a tripod slow him down and he is very adapted. Womble can live with cats and other dogs of any breed. Womble left his family due to finding their other dogs too overwhelming for him, so he would like to live with one or two calm dogs who don't nark him, or as an only dog with people who are mainly home. Womble wont be homed with puppies. Womble has always lived on a big section, and does need room to have a run, either at home or in a safe nearby park.
