We wish Major(Essjay Buccaneer) luck in his forever home.
Major is such a Gentleman of a dog and we think he is going to make lots of happy memories with his family.
Major you will be missed sweetheart but we wouldn’t want it any other way. Much love from us all.xx
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.
After such a successful weekend on the homing front we are sorry to say we end today’s posts on a very sad note.
We have learned that Neville (Insane Rambo) has crossed the bridge.
Below is his family’s heartfelt tribute to him:-
” Sadly our beautiful Neville (formerly Insane Rambo) suddenly crossed the bridge last Sunday.
We are all heartbroken but take solace in knowing we have given Neville and his beloved George (Insane Brain cell) their forever home since February 2020.
Neville could kill with a stare but was a big softie at heart. He loved zoomies in the garden, sleeping on the sofa and being a mischievous pup often helping himself to treats.
He enjoyed holidays to Centre Parcs, walks along the sea front (though he wasn’t a fan of the beach or sea!) and relaxing in the garden of a summer’s evening.
We have seen Neville mellow as he has gotten used to living with other dogs though he has taken joy in winning in garden races with the Labradors!
We will miss him dearly and love him always”
Thank you to Neville’s family for the wonderful, loving and happy forever home they gave him. Our hearts go out to them, George and all who knew and loved him.
Run free dear Neville until you meet your friends again when one day they join you over the bridge.
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
What a fantastic time the team had at the Wix Fayre on Saturday. They were ably assisted by our Greyhound Ambassadors Buster and Martha.
Lots of people stopped by to have a chat about the dogs and the work we do.
However the best news of the day is that brothers JP (Orange muzzle) and Major (Red muzzle) were both reserved and will be going to their forever homes when our usual home checking procedures are completed and their families can collect them.
We enjoy these events so much, giving us an excellent opportunity to promote our hounds although that said they are pretty good at promoting themselves!
Thank you to the organisers of the Fayre for offering us a stand and to all who came for a chat and all who supported our stand by generously donating and by buying our goods.
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
What a fantastic couple of days on the homing front!
Barry, Stripes and Suki went off to their forever homes and JP, Major, Fergi , Ken and Twix were all reserved and will be going home
once all of our usual homing checks are completed and arrangements have been made with their families to collect them.
