A CHARITY that gives a second chance to homeless greyhounds has welcomed a £150 donation.

The North Yorkshire branch of the Retired Greyhound Trust were gifted the cheque by the Selby Canine Society.

Karen Fraser, from Trust, said: "It’s incredibly generous of The Selby Canine Society and we are so grateful for the support shown to us. Any money we get goes straight to the dogs' vets' bills, food and general care. Donations like this enable us to carry out our mission and find more homes for these wonderful dogs."

Debbie McKenzie, committee member at the Selby Canine Society, said: "The Selby Canine Society is very aware of the great work that North Yorkshire branch of the Retired Greyhound Trust does in fostering and rehoming dozens of dogs every year.

"I always see the dedicated RGT volunteers setting up a stall at our local Pets at Home Store. The team are always there and are so committed to spreading awareness and finding homes for these lovely, often overlooked dogs.

"They are all volunteers and as a bunch of animal lovers we wanted to do our bit to support them."
