Sharon Saberton

Sharon has been a greyhound trainer for 26 years and has never wanted to do anything else. She has lived and worked with these beautiful dogs all her life.

 

Currently working at two jobs (as a breeder and trainer of dogs for the local track, and as an area RGT adoption agent) Sharon has a house full of non-starters, ex-racers, convalescents, and temporary residents, as well as the kennels where the racers and adoptable dogs live.

About Brambleberry

Brambleberry is a branch of the Retired Greyhound Trust (reg. charity No: 269668) which is located in the Peterborough area.

We started rehoming 27 years ago, and moved to our present location 8 years ago to provide space for our expanding kennels.

There are about 45 dogs available for re-homing at any one time, of all ages and colours.

Thank you for visiting Brambleberry Greyhounds




Welcome! We hope you will enjoy your visit to our beautiful dogs. Some are featured in the automated gallery above, but please do look in the categories to the right to find more.

URGENT – THREE DOGS RETURNED AFTER TRAGIC DEATH OF OWNER. Please take a look at Whiskey (10 yrs), Texas (8 1/2 yrs). A third dog, Blackjack, has now been rehomed, but these two are not doing very well being back in kennels after living in a house and are mourning the loss of their person.

This branch of the RGT exists within a working greyhound training kennel, with the available dogs living alongside active racers. Brambleberry also takes retired dogs from other trainers working in the Peterborough area.

We always have upwards of forty adoptable dogs, so please take a look – and remember, not all the available dogs are listed here. If you don’t see a dog you like, we have plenty more! Give us a call (phone or email) to discuss your requirements, or to make arrangements to visit and take a look for yourself.

Any dog can be tested with cats or small dogs if required, and cat-training can be undertaken by arrangement if we believe a dog is suitable.

Once you have chosen a dog, we will come and do a simple home-check (don’t worry, your housekeeping skills are not under scrutiny!), and we ask that you make a single donation of £100 to cover medical expenses, worming, flea treatment, and the collar, lead, muzzle and starter pack of food which will be given to you with your new companion.

All Brambleberry dogs spend time in Sharon’s own home to get them used to the environment, and they are all neutered, innoculated and micro-chipped. You will also get two months free pet insurance, and we are always on hand to help out with advice.

If you don’t feel able to adopt an ex-racer right now, but would still like to help the dogs, you can make a donation to cover our huge overheads. You will find a list of sponsor dogs in the sidebar, or you can simply click on the ‘donate’ button and give a little towards general costs of feeding and maintenance.

Thank you for your support!
