THE Manchester branch of the Retired Greyhound Trust, a charity dedicated to finding new homes for greyhounds after their racing career has ended, is seeking the support of readers for a new campaign, Grace 2002. We re-homed 48 retired greyhounds in the last six months of 2001.

Although active during their racing days, greyhounds make for extremely gentle, docile pets who are easy to feed and will happily laze around for most of the time.

Interested? Then call 0870 840 7502 or 0870 444 0673.
