Lancky Dogs is a membership only social club with a strong fundraising element for pet greyhounds and their families in Lancashire.
Our aims are:
• To organise social events within Lancashire for pet greyhounds, their families and friends • To raise funds for and offer support to small independent northern rescues who help greyhounds and lurchers at risk • To offer informal support to members on the care and welfare of their greyhounds • To promote the joys of greyhounds as pets
We have a full diary of social and fundraising events including our monthly Lancky Dogs walks and we also take part in the national greyhound awareness event, the Great British Greyhound Walk. Our events are designed to be a blend of fun and fundraising.
We offer our funds to the small independent rescues who do not have the benefits and security of a large charity behind them to help with their work in rescuing and rehabilitating hounds in need or at risk. The dogs depicted in the collage above are a tiny selection of the dogs we have been involved in rescuing. In 2011 Lancky Dogs helped 150 dogs to a new life giving them hope and a future.
We organize collections of food to fill all those empty tummies, bedding and kennel coats to keep them warm and snugly in the kennels, collars and leads to keep them safe whilst being transported and to give them a much needed opportunity to go for a walk as the dogs leave the pounds with nothing of their own. All these items are distributed among the rescues we support to help make the dogs lives just that little bit better whilst they are waiting for their forever homes. We also offer transport help in order to move hounds in need into safe rescue spaces around the country and drive 1,000s of miles every year to make sure these beautiful creatures get to a place of safety.
All the help we give is made possible by the generosity of our friends and supporters as well as the enthusiasm of our members who join in our events with their own treasured hounds and share in some wonderful times and fun whilst contributing towards helping the hounds that are still waiting and hoping for their day to come.
We are a friendly group who love our greyhounds and enjoy getting together to talk greyhounds. If that sounds like you too – why not join us? Please click on ‘MEMBERSHIP’ on the left to view full membership details and to see how to request a membership form.
