New Regulations announced and greyhound racing ban progressing.
Animal welfare in Wales is taking a significant leap forward. The Welsh Government has announced its intention to implement long-overdue regulations for animal welfare establishments, including moving forward with their ban on greyhound racing. This landmark decision comes in response to a recent public consultation, to which we contributed a detailed and carefully considered response.
Although we are based in Devon, our commitment to the welfare of animals, and especially greyhounds knows no borders. We are proud to be playing a central role in a coalition of rescue organisations working to safeguard the future of greyhounds affected by the impending ban. As the racing industry in Wales winds down, many greyhounds will need support, care, and homing — and the Welsh Greyhound Partnership are ready to help ensure their safety and well-being.
Collaboration is key to this effort. We are actively working with fellow rescue groups, particularly those based in Wales, to share our expertise and coordinate resources. Our extensive experience in greyhound rescue and rehabilitation positions us to provide valuable support during this transition.
Just last weekend, our CEO attended the Greyhound Rescue Wales Annual General Meeting to offer an update on the situation and to strengthen ties with local partners. These ongoing efforts are essential as we prepare for the challenges and opportunities ahead.
Forever Hounds Trust is proud to be part of the movement driving real, positive change for animals right across the UK.
