Greyhounds spend twice as long than 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 considered it before.
Now, Dogs Trust has launched a new campaign highlighting the benefits of owning a Greyhound.
The charity has compiled a montage #Greywatch video in honour of 90s smash hit Baywatch - complete with stars CJ Barker and Mitch Barkannon.
Complete with the iconic theme tune, the campaign highlights "how wonderful Greyhounds are as lovable pets" and urges anyone thinking of offering a dog a home to consider a greyhound.
