A Round up of the Week

It’s been another busy week at kennels.  Grace went home, Blue came back (he would prefer a family that doesn’t work full time) Chilli didn’t go home so is available again,  Dear old Revie had a couple of viewers, Leo went for a walk at Alton Water and we held a meet and greet session at the Co-op in Hadleigh with kennel dogs Seb and Fabia. Both boys were so well behaved and made a good impression on local MP James Cartlidge who visited our stand.  Thanks to our Greyhound Ambassadors Spring, Troy, Roy, Toby and Teddy,  to the staff and management of the Co-op and to the generous public who gave donations and took the time to chat to us and our dogs.

Revie

Dear old Revie is hoping somebody will offer him a forever home for Christmas. Revie is 10 years old and has been returned along with his friend Flo because of a change in family circumstances. He is pleased that Flo has found a new forever family but he is longing to be part of a loving family himself once more. He is such a happy chap in spite of the fact he has been through a heart breaking time. If you could offer Revie another chance of happiness please get in touch.

Weekend Update

A busy weekend at kennels. We were visited by Toosie Beannie and My Mate Max who came to have their nails clipped. Blink who was reserved on Thursday had a visit from his new family and Cookie was given the good news that she has been reserved subject to a home check. On top of all that we welcomed Des (Romeo Desperado) to our happy band of retired dogs and Sam went off to start his new life with his forever family.

Bambi has Visitors

Well it might have been a grey day for most of us but the sun was shining in Bambi’s(Pacey Bambi) heart when he was visited by his racing family. He was taken for a walk with his friend Pacey Gina and had loads of cuddles. It was lovely to meet his racing family and we hope it wont be too long before we will be able to say Bambi has a forever home. He is a smashing lad.

Two in and two out!

It’s been a busy weekend at kennels.  Firstly we welcomed two new arrivals.  Handsome fellas Chilli and John can bee seen on our homeless hounds page.  Then  happy little sweetheart Blue went to his forever home and on Sunday we had the best news of the week when the lovely Chico went home after an almost 9 month wait for his forever home. Welcome Chilli and Jon and good luck to Blue and Chico – have a wonderful happy life boys.

Latest News

It was good news for Irene this week when she learned she was reserved after a successful home check.  Missy went to her forever home and we wish her well, bless her she had a long wait and Milly had a lovely day out with her friend.
Following the disappointing news that the dogs couldn’t go to the Suffolk Dog Day because of the weather we cheered them all up with extra treats and a lovely cooling bath.
We also welcomed Greaves (below) to our band of homeless hounds.

Bath Time

We made the best of the warm weather and bathed some of the dogs today.  Here is cheeky Chico all in a lather and then soaking his Aunty Angie whilst shaking off the rinsing water!

Fun and Games for Chico

Our longest stayer, the lovely Chico had fun and games this morning.  First of all he went for a game of chase with his volunteer in the paddocks and then he learnt a new game of find the treat.  He had to use his nose and his brain to work out where the treats were in the ball pit.  He loved that game.  He then had a good brush and lots of cuddles. Dear little Chico, he would so love a family to call his own.

Homing Update

After a slow May things have really picked up again on the homing front.  The beautiful Sisters Jodie and Jill have been reserved and will be going home together.  Tudor, Missy and Freddie are reserved subject to home checks, Cookie is having a second visit from his potential family and Lofty has a third date with Mavis. Fingers crossed all goes well with the home checks and that Cookie and Lofty’s second and third dates go well.
