A WREXHAM tattoo studio has raised thousands for a greyhound rescue centre in memory of their own dog.
Dexterity Ink Tattoo Studio organised a charity day raising money with the tattoos they did over the course of the day - all to honour their greyhound Wiley.
There was also a raffle and extra donations making their final amount an incredible £4,702.51 for the rescue centre, which operates across Wales and the north-west.
The rescue centre takes care of greyhounds who are at risk of being put to sleep after their racing career or have been given up by owners who can no longer look after them.
Hayley Bradley, Hector's founder, said: "It's an incredible amount of money, which will help us so much with our work."
Hector's Greyhound Rescue saves and cares for dogs who are often abandoned or unwanted byproducts of the racing industry.

They currently have many greyhounds available for adoption - and contrary to popular belief, they don't need long walks every day. In 2022 alone, 82 greyhounds were safely rehomed through the centre.
Most greyhounds are incredibly gentle and loving, happy with short walks and a comfortable sofa to snooze on.
The money raised by the tattoo studio will contribute to ensuring the dogs receive the support they deserve.
