About Us

With over a decade of experience working in the health and welfare sector, Gaby is a passionate, hard working and dedicated person who understands the importance of caring for others.

​

Even if the favourite part of her day is getting home to her cheeky, silly, playful, judgemental and bum nipping greyhound who is utterly besotted with her!  But, it wasn't a walk in the part to get to this point with him!​

Which is why Gaby knows the importance of a supportive and honest adoption process, and the after care required for those taking home their new companions. This makes her a brilliant addition to our team to ensure we only provide the highest standards of service to everyone involved in the rehoming process.

With an award-winning background in sales, and people management, Karen knows how to get things done.

​

An amazing sounding board, Karen is quick to brainstorm and find solutions regardless of the problem, and is unwaveringly loyal to those she holds dear.  While she doesn't currently have a hound to call her own, she is every bit committed to their finding loving homes as any other member of our team.

​

One of the kindest people on this earth, Karen is a born mediator.  She also has a true talent for guiding and matching people to what they need, rather than what they want, or think, they need which is perfect for rehoming!​

With over a decade of service in the NHS, Polly has a catelog of experience behind her in various roles, both in her professional career and through volunteering...while also being a very successful county cricket player!

A proud greyhound owner to a beautiful black hound, Polly has been instrumental in rehabilitating numerous foster hounds, all of which went on to be adopted by wonderful families.

​

A strong advocate for animal rights, and all things hound, Polly is a quiet, supportive and fair individual who is ever reliable and always happy to help...unless you're a plant, in which case you're best looking for assistance elsewhere.

​​

With over 30 years of experience in greyhound racing and rehoming, as well as holding senior positions withinin another charity for many years, Mandee brings a wealth of knowledge, connections and reputation to the team.

​

​Whether it's helping with the accounts, liasing with greyhound trainers, helping with rehoming or just being a sounding board in helping make big decisions, Mandee is an invaluable member of our team.

​

Mandee is committed to ensuring every greyhound finds a loving home.  And, with five of her own at home, it's safe to say she knows a thing or two!​

Dogs have always been an important part of Niamhs life, and like many of us, stumbled upon sighthounds by chance...but it didn't take long to get hooked by their loveable quirks! 

​

Working toward her MSc in clinical animal behaviour, Niamh works for another greyhound rehoming charity,  alongside university, while also volunteering her spare time to assist other behaviourists on their cases, group classes and 1-1 training appointments.

Passionate about getting to the root of a hounds problem, and using humane and science backed methods to improve them, we are thrilled to have Niamh on board to help hounds overcome their behaviour barriers, and get adopted into loving homes!

Julie is a qualified positive reinforcement behaviourist and trainer with years of experience.

Having started in dog walking and pet sitting, and having rescued many a hound in the past, Julie has a long established history of working with dogs of all breeds.

but, like the rest of us, her passion lies in all things sighthound after she was inspired to pursue her career in behaviour in memory of a beautiful bull lurcher who was taken from this world too soon.

​

Working closely with another sighthound charity, as well as running her own successful behaviour and training consultancy, Julie has helped countless hounds.  She is a welcome and crucial support for the hounds that come through our doors!

Lisa is our resident free-spirit who shames us all in her commitment to stand up to capitalism.  Buying organic fruit and vegetables straight from the farmer, going camping and hiking across Wales on her weekends, foraging wild plants and flowers to make her own eco friendly cosmestics, and making her dream of one day living off-grid in a log cabin, out in the wilderness, away from society with her cat, actually happen!

As an organisation, being kind to the planet is a priority.  With an extensive background within native species conservation and zoo keeping, as well as domestic welfare, Lisa keeps us steering in the right direction in making decisions that have the most minimal impact while still being in the best interest of the hounds!​

A successful entrepreneur, Lynne ran her business for 20 years before putting her feet up and becoming a lady of leisure...that is, before she got roped into helping us!

​

Lynne was converted into the sighthound community *coughcultcough* after her daughter adopted her first greyhound.  Now, as a proud grand-pawrent and the go to dog-sitter when her daughter has to work, Lynne is forever singing the praises of how greyhounds make the perfect pet to anyone who will listen.

​

With a no nonsense approach to work, and life, Lynne always tells it like it is and provides a great support to the team, making sure we stay on track!

A proud sighthound owner, and lover of all animals, Hannah is our resident dog walker, pet carer, nail clipper and trained microchipper AKA the business side of The Zoomie Zone!

​

Qualified animal care, with extensive CPD, she has many years experience working with both domestic and exotic animals.  Hannah provides fully insured, qualified and professional pet care services in and around Chesterfield, Derbyshire. 

​

When she isn't running around like a headless chicken doing all things pet care, she also helps with the rehoming side of things and is happy to help answer enquiries and oversee adoptions.
