A PLYMOUTH animal rescue centre with a record number of greyhounds in its care has issued a plea for them to be rehomed. Woodside Animal Welfare Sanctuary is currently caring for six greyhounds at its shelter on the edge of Plympton, with some waiting nearly two years for their forever homes.
Despite dozens of enquiries received every week for dogs in the charity's care, 'the phone has stopped ringing for the greyhounds, the animal charity has said.
Sanctuary manager Lisa Darcy said: "I can't recall a time when we've had six greyhounds waiting for a home. What's more concerning is that, despite us homing well at the moment, the greyhounds continue to have no interest.
