Jersey Rescue Dogs

Alison met her husband John Garnier in 1989 who by coincidence shared her love of pointy nosed hounds. John had his own whippet Black Jack and Alfie the whippet pup joined the family.

They had the sighthound bug and upon learning about the plight of the retired racing greyhound Alison and John adopted their first greyhound Jake in 2002, closely followed by Tootsie, Harlea, Wiz, Sonny, Paddy, Zoe, Elvis and Lewis.

​The dawn of the internet opened Alison’s eyes to the world of sighthound rescue and Lily the whippety lurcher, a stray from the north of England was their first true rescue dog to join the family in 2007.

Sighthound Rescue Jersey was born and in the early years the focus was on sighthounds from the UK and Ireland, but a mix of breeds were rescued, fostered and homed along the way.

​After many conversations trying to explain the rescue wasn’t for partially sighted dogs and the fact that more different breeds were being helped the rescue changed it’s name to what we know it as today – Jersey Rescue Dogs.
