Fen Bank Greyhound Sanctuary, near Skegness in South Lincolnshire, was established in December, 1997 by Sandra Miller. The Sanctuary, which obtained independent registered charity status in 1998, was designed and built by Shaun Hooker and provides comfortable and spacious accommodation for 28 dogs. Each pair of dogs have a warm kennel, their own run, and in addition there are two large galloping paddocks for free exercise.
All dogs are walked every day except Sunday and as far as possible they are treated like the pets they are destined to become. There are 14 permanent "guests" who can never be homed , and some of these are available for sponsoring.
We take in Greyhounds of all ages from all over the United Kingdom.
We are members of the Association of Dogs and Cats Homes and our Honorary Friends are Clarrisa Baldwin O.B.E, Annette Crosby O.B.E, Lord Lipsey, John Curran and Mary Evans M.B.E
Fen Bank Greyhound Sanctuary homes dogs and takes them in from all over England. Some are cruelty cases, with dogs weighing half thier correct body weight, some with emotional scars and others very ill from neglect. There is fully supported homing and follow up programmes for every dog, including vetting procedures, 24 hour help line, and in the rare cases when a homing fails, dogs MUST come back to Fen Bank. A Fen Bank dog is a dog for life.
All our dogs are neutered, innoculated, wormed, health checked and soon will be micro-chipped before being placed in a new home. We like to ensure that our Greyhound adoptions go smoothly for both new owner and dog.
We have a charity shop in Alford, Lincs. which helps in raising funds, as well as a program of events during the year to support the Sanctuary with its two resident staff.
