We are overjoyed to share the fantastic news that Ken (Swift Ken) has found his forever home.

You may recall that Ken was returned to us after having been in a home for a year.

We have worked successfully with Ken on honing his socialisation skills and following updates and an appeal to find him a family Ken went into foster care with another Greyhound where he thrived and proved the efforts of our team of Volunteers and our Volunteer dog trainer had paid off.

After careful introductions and a short spell on foster to see how things worked out Ken is going to live with fellow Greyhound Beau and her family including their regular visitor, Granddaughter Darcie.

Ken’s family are highly experienced owners having had dogs from us over many years.

They say “Ken has settled in well and has found the beds (Human ones) and is eating well, he loves Darcie and is a joy to have. He walks nicely on his lead, does not pull at all and has ignored all the dogs, cats and squirrels he has met and it’s safe to say he has found his forever home”.

A huge thank you to Ken’s original foster carer and the lovely Miele (Saving Amelia), to our Volunteers who took Ken out and about with them including to the beach and to Lynn our volunteer dog trainer. You have all done an amazing job.

Good luck Ken, you so deserve this second chance of happiness. We know you are in the most loving of homes and that we will see you regularly on our walks. xx

Great news! Berry (Rollovabeethoven) has gone to her forever home.
This sweet, affectionate little girl didn’t have to wait long to be chosen and we couldn’t be happier for her.
Good luck Berry, you go with much love from us all.

We have had news of Buddy. Here is what hiss family have said about him:-

” Buddy has been with us for two months now! He’s been perfect, has come out of his shell loads and become super affectionate, his personality is starting to shine and he’s becoming a cheeky chappy who loves walks, toys and sleep. He is so good around all other dogs, so chilled and we are absolutely besotted with him. We were definitely made to be his family”.

What lovely news, thank you for the update.

Wishing Harry a happy 7th birthday for tomorrow.

Harry has settled well in his home and is doing really well with his mate Tenby.

Harry loves stealing toys from the toy box and Tenby is just happy to have his mate Harry around.

Thank you to Harry’s family for the update.

Good luck to Barry (Sunshine Sioux) who went off to his forever home on Friday.

Barry you are a lovely lad and you will be much missed at kennels. Be happy sweetheart, lots of love from us all xx

Good luck to Stripes (Trouble Doubled) as he leaves us for the next chapter in his life. We are so pleased for Stripes to have found love again after his last owner had to sadly return him due to his failing health.

Stripes you are such a character, bright as a button and so much fun. You will be missed but we send you on your way with a whole lot of love xx

Good luck Tommy (Tommy’s Kingdom) Your wait for your forever home is finally over.

Transferred from the now closed Portsmouth branch your wait has been a long one. That said it has been a joyous one, you were loved and cherished not just by all of us in Suffolk who took you on many adventures outside of kennels but by your friends in Portsmouth who asked after you frequently, followed you on our social media pages and came to visit you.

We wish you every happiness in your forever home in the Netherlands.

We will never forget you Tommy and we hope to have updates from your family from time to time. You go with so much love from us all. xx
Another little update on Tommy.

His family say “He is a dream of a boy. Is fine with all of their other dogs and had his muzzle taken off yesterday.

He is amazing .It is incomprehensible that he has been overlooked for such a long time. But yet I´m the lucky one and I adore him, so does Judith “

It makes our hearts sing to know after such a long wait Tommy has found his forever home. Maybe he was just destined to be with Erna and Judith and to have the company of their other dogs.

We have had an update on Magic (All about Magic). He has been on his first camping holiday. He had the best time and was so good but he was pleased to see a sofa at the end of it.

Thank you to Magic’s family for staying in touch and for sending us the photos of Magic’s holiday.

Huge congratulations to our Greyhound Ambassador Charlie (Hard to Call) on winning Best in Show at the Suffolk Show.

Well done sweetheart and as you know you are always a winner with your family, our Volunteers and all at Dillymore.

Wishing our Greyhound Ambassador Lily a very happy birthday.
We hope you have a lovely day sweetheart.
Bet you are looking forward to your steak dinner later xx
