Who are they?

Tailends exists to take in elderly or terminally ill dogs (often - but not exclusively - greyhounds). Our dogs come from situations of abuse or neglect and are unlikely to be re-homed in the normal way. 

The greyhounds have normally lived their entire lives in kennels – initially as racing dogs and then kept in bleak conditions out of sight of the general public and with no chance of a home. 

They have rarely received any veterinary care or pain relief. Some have been fed poor quality food and had infrequent access to clean fresh water.  They have sometimes been housed, without coats or proper bedding, in kennels that provide limited protection from the weather. They commonly suffer from crippling diseases, untreated infections or old injuries.

Their Mission

Tailends provide immediate veterinary treatment, warmth, comfort, loving care, appropriate walks and good quality food.  Sometimes we can successfully treat and considerably extend the life of the dog.  Sometimes we can only ensure that they receive the best veterinary attention in their final days and are comfortable and loved for the first and only time in their miserable lives.
