Wishing Quinny the Quinster (Swift Tarquin) a very happy 9th birthday.

Hope you are having a lovely day sweetheart. Enjoy all of those lovely treats.

Along with our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Eric Wolton we would like to thank them for their generous donation of £314.95 in his memory.

Eric’s daughter says her father adored Greyhounds. We thank her for thinking of us at such a sad time.

There was much excitement at kennels this morning when the hounds awoke to find ‘He’ had been and their Santa sacks were full of lovely goodies, some of which would they would enjoy on top of their Christmas day breakfasts of Sardines and dinners of beef.

Thank you so much to all who have contributed and those who will bring things along to the Boxing Day walk.

May we take this opportunity to wish you all a very merry Christmas and to thank you all for your support throughout the year.

The walk on Sunday was rather a special one as it marked the last walk for Sue as our Lead Volunteer. Sue is retiring on 1st May.

Sue started homing Greyhounds and sometimes Lurchers (When she was with Suffolk Greyhound and Lurcher Support Group) way back in 2007. Sue took a short break from volunteering for the Trust but has been the Lead Volunteer since rejoining Greyhound Trust Suffolk in 2016. Her dedication to the cause has been outstanding.

On behalf of all those precious hounds Sue has helped to home over the years we the Volunteers would like to say a massive thank you.

We also thank you for your friendship, organisational skills and expert knowledge. You steered the ship through some of the most challenging times.

Have a well earned rest Sue. We know you won’t be a stranger and we look forward to seeing you on our walks. xx

All at Greyhound Trust Suffolk both 4 and 2 legged, wish you a very Merry Christmas.

Thank you to John, Deb, Jeff and all the staff at Dillymore for looking after our precious hounds so well, to our little Ambassadors along with their Volunteers for the support they give promoting those Greyhounds still waiting for their forever homes, to everyone who has donated throughout the year and for donating treats at Christmas time to fill the Santa sacks and to every single one of you who support us in any way you can and for following this page.

Bless you all, we couldn’t do any of this without you.

Below is Des (Romeo Desperado) looking very festive, bless his little grey chops.

Pat Mill has been a great help to us and some of our owners whose dogs may have had minor difficulties transitioning from kennel to home life. He has recently set up a youtube channel which you may find helpful, particularly at this time of year with the inevitable scourge of fireworks. Pat has downloaded firework sounds and advises on how to help your dogs acclimatize to them. There are also other sounds such as traffic noise you may also find helpful.
