Success of 2007
A total of 228 homes were found
for our greyhounds in 2007!
What an amazing figure considering we have only been running for a
little over eighteen months. This has only been possible due to many
peoples continued efforts and hard work, for example, standing out in
the wet and cold at shows and at kennels.
Thanks to everyone who has helped Greyhoundhomer RGT in anyway and may
we carry on finding fantastic homes for these wonderful dogs.

Greyhoundhomer 2nd
Greyhound Show
Our 2nd Greyhound Show will be held on
Saturday 14th June, 2008 at the Stifford Show, Stifford, Essex. It will
be held on the cricket green, the theme this year is the Olympics.
We had over 80 entrants last year which was great considering the awful
weather, this year should be even busier. There will be classes for all
ages of greyhounds and if time allows some fun classes at the end. Every
entrant will receive a rosette, with trophy for each class winner.
We will also have a selection of coats and leads and other greyhound
paraphernalia on display. A chance to meet up with lots of other
greyhound enthusiasts and have a great day.
If you would like to enter you can

Sky Dive by Claire for Greyhoundhomer RGT
"On the 10th May I will be doing a tandem skydive to raise
money for the Greyhound Homer RGT. I have wanted to do a skydive
since I was about 18 years old but couldn't decide which charity
to do it for. I decided that it would be something I would do
before my 30th birthday which is this year!
About 6 months ago we re-homed a greyhound called Worldwide Lady
- Lady for short. Before we re-homed her we didn't know much
about greyhounds. We had never thought of getting a greyhound
especially as we live in a flat and thought that a greyhound
would be too large and energetic.
We went to the Ockendon kennels to voluntary walk the dogs and
to look into sponsoring a dog. After speaking to the people who
work at the kennels and seeing the dogs we fell in love with
them and decided to adopt one! We chose Worldwide Lady because
she was small and we never saw her bark.
At first she wasn't very affectionate and she didn't waggle her
tail. Her coat wasn't in a very good condition either. She was
quite nervous. As soon as she had her first bath when we got her
home you could already see a difference in her. Everything was
new to her - we had to teach her how to get up and down the
stairs, she was scared of the noise of traffic and she was even
scared of her own shadow!
Six months later she is a completely different dog.
Her coat is shiny, she is very affectionate and has her own
personality. It feels so rewarding to see her so happy compared
to the way she was when we first got her. All greyhounds deserve
a good home which is why I have decided to raise money for the
Greyhoundhomer RGT where I know that the people who work there
are passionate about greyhounds and where I know that the money
will go towards the dogs.
I will be doing a tandem skydive, jumping from 10,000ft! It
will be a once in a life time experience and I am excited about
it.
Thank you to everybody who has sponsored me so far.
