Greyhounds spend twice as long as other breeds waiting for their forever homes, according to Dogs Trust Ireland.
New research shows that 98% of people have never owned a greyhound and half of those said they never even thought of it.
Dogs Trust has launched a new campaign highlighting the benefits of owning a Greyhound.
The charity appealed to people to send them in videos of their dogs - and compiled a montage #Greywatch video complete with the Baywatch theme tune.
Today sees the launch of our #Greywatch campaign!!! We are highlighting how wonderful Greyhounds are as lovable pets, in a bid to help protect and rehome them! See https://t.co/Xh39j2Djxg for more information. @NomosDigital pic.twitter.com/UTR3JEDmB5
