We are a small UK voluntary organisation that supports Sighthounds through sponsorship in the South of England. We have 8 'Lifeline Sponsor' hounds that we support medically and are open to grant applications from vets and owners who need help to pay for a hound's critical medical needs, due to personal circumstances or having exhausted their insurance limit. We fundraise to support this cause.
