Welcome to Daybreaks’ Story
What’s different about Daybreaks Trust?
Our facilities feature 10 kennels, each equipped with under-bed heating, 24-hour CCTV, and a radio. We are lucky to be sponsored by Burns, our dogs enjoy top-quality food. We have a play pen often equipped with various toys and our enclosed sand area provides a perfect spot for them to run.
We take great pride in providing exceptional dog welfare. Once a new dog has settled in, they undergo an assessment including a health check, temperament evaluation, and a pampering session. We ensure they’re comfortable by providing duvets, blankets, fitting them with a fleece and giving them their own toys. Our dedicated team of volunteers groom the dogs, clean their teeth, and give enrichment toys daily. The dogs also get weighed every five days. Our dogs also receive a walk twice a day where we can start to socialise them.

Full Time Job
It was decided the only way to rehome more Greyhounds was if Ruth quit her job as a medical secretary and managed the kennels. On the 1st July 2006 Daybreaks was established.
Tara's Legacy
Tara sadly passed away to bone cancer. Tara’s legacy continues to thrive in every Greyhound that enters Daybreaks.
Daybreaks Independence
Daybreaks made the decision to separate from the Greyhound Trust and establish its independence. As a result, Daybreaks became its own charity.
