Heartbroken to hear the news. Was such a beautiful boy. So sad and taken way too soon.

Heartbroken to see this. He was a lovely dog with the most cutest ears. He had so much love to give. So sorry. Run free Finn xx

Heartbroken to read that you have lost your beloved Finn, I remember him so well from his photos, those fabulous ears, he was taken far too soon and my heart breaks for you, you loved him so much and he had a great life with you even if it was for a short time. Rip sweetheart, love to everybody that loved you xxxx

I am deeply saddened to hear the news. I remember Finn very well from kennels. My thoughts are with you. x

Such devastating news, keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers. Xxx

So sorry to hear your sad news. Thinking of you at this very difficult time. Sleep tight beautiful boy. Xx

Absolutely heartbroken to see this. Thank you for giving Finn such a fantastic loving home. He was such a lovely boy, if a little complex, but you never gave up and gave him so much love and support. So unfair his stay with you was not as long as he deserved. Much love to you. Xxx

Thank you Kate. Your help and kindness in those early days meant a lot to us. Finn was absolutely worth it xxx

Dear Nicola, I am heart broken for you all to hear such sad news. I know how much you loved Finn. Xxx He was a special boy who needed lots of help when you took him home. With your love and patience he became a very happy boy. Xxx I know how it feels to lose them so suddenly after losing my lovely Fletcher in much the same way last year. Thinking of you all and sending lots of love. God Bless your beautiful Finn. Kate Xxx

It is with disbelief that we have to share that we have lost Finn. For the first time ever he didn't want breakfast on Thursday morning and then declined during the day. When I took him to the vets, it never even crossed my mind that I would be returning home without him. A tumour. Devastated. Finn had a longer journey from kennel dog to settled pet than other greyhounds we've had and we were so proud of the dog he became. As the front cover of this year's calendar shows, he was handsome, happy and healthy (or so we thought). Two years with him in our family was not enough. Life is so cruel - he deserved a longer retirement. Our only solace is that he loved his life with us and we loved him. My shadow has gone but he is forever in my heart.

I remember Finn, fabulous ears!!!!, so sorry that you have lost Amber but Finn seems to be doing great, such a handsome chap xxxxx

Lovely to hear how Finn is doing. Can't believe it's been a year already! Sending him lots of love. Kate Xxx

So it is a year since Finn came to live with us. Very sadly we lost Amber, but we gained Finn - and what a character he is. He was tricky to settle but what he's taught us is the rewards of perseverance. Amber helped him adjust - and while we wish so much she was still here - the fact that he has done so well is a tribute to her. Finn is happy, bouncy, partial to pigs ears, balls, squirrels (nearly caught one in the garden - he's damn quick!) loves his thunder shirt and likes to be with us as much as possible. He was enjoying Julie's training sessions on a Saturday morning before lockdown and we very much hope that they resume soon - while he may not be best in class, he enjoys the social side, who says dogs mirror their owners!

So very happy for you all! Would love to see Amber and Finn smiling together! :)) It shows what time and patience can do for these fabulous dogs...Finn has found an extra special family to love him! :) Xxx

This is so lovely to read, so happy that he has found his perfect home, yes his ears are fabulous, he's a gorgeous boy, it's great that he and Amber have become friends and also lovely for you to have another grey in your home. Xxxxx

Finn has been with us for exactly five weeks and in these difficult times when our lives have been turned upside down, it makes you appreciate your greyhounds all the more.

Finn is certainly a character (and about as different from the poor soul we met in the kennels as it is possible to be).

He's taught us a lot. Not to leave margarine on the work top, or carelessly leave kids packed lunches in reach - and just how interesting squirrels in the garden really are. Amber has taught him how to smile (no, really - he grins like Amber when he sees us in the morning!), how to wag your tail carefully to avoid splitting it and creating a blood bath and how to eat pigs ears (Amber is the champion at eating those - he is positively slow in comparison). Mind you, Amber has learned to eat her breakfast more quickly!

Seeing his crazy ears in a morning makes us smile - it looks like he has bed hair! What a chap.

Well done Finn (Trebles) - enjoy your new home. Xx

Yay, well done gorgeous, love your new name, so happy that you have finally found your forever home xxxxx

So pleased for Trebbles because he deserves it and is a lovely boy who likes his walks and loves people and I hope you get what you deserve because you melted my heart.

Ambèr! Don't tell me the ice maiden is melting!:)) So pleased to hear your day with Trebles went so well! Xxx

So we took Trebles home for the day to see Amber. We had no idea whether she would even let him in the house, so it was a meeting that could have gone either way....(and she has rejected all of the other dogs she's met) Very pleased to say that it was extremely positive - she didn't growl at all, but was very happy to sniff and follow him about. She even let him sniff her, which is absolutely unheard of! We all got soaked this afternoon on a bonding walk (he doesn't mind the rain). He is a super boy (and he has ears like K9 in Doctor Who). We are very excited. Fingers crossed!

Well this has cheered up a cold blustery day, well done sweetheart, I am so happy for you xxxxxx

Well done gorgeous! So happy for you & your new family. x

I’m so pleased for you Trebles. Well deserved home and your new family are very lucky. Over the moon to see you reserved! Xxx

Oh Trebles of the spectacular ears, what a lovely boy you are. You walked so gently on the lead today that I almost forgot you were there! I've got everything crossed that Amber likes you and you get a well deserved home. À

Trebles, will you be the one to melt Ambers heart?? :)) Xxx

We came to meet Trebles again today after a positive meeting with Amber on Thursday. The whole family is smitten with him - it is up to Amber now. She is much better with him than anyone else we've met, although she did have to have a grumble - very minor in comparison to when she met poor Ringo - so sorry Ringo, we certainly won't inflict her on you again! If Trebles is still here later in the week, we'll be back to see you boy. Fingers crossed!

Great to hear Trebles enjoyed his trip to Sheldon Park with Liz on Sunday. He is a lovely lad, it's about time his forever home came along! Xxx

Trebles is such a handsome boy. He came with me to Sheldon Country Park today. He happily jumped in the car and settled immediately. He also walked really well. He was a bit interested in non greys but nothing that a little gentle direction didn't fix. He's a lovely boy. Here's hoping for his forever home very soon x

Trebles, you are sooo beautiful

Jut loving your ears Mr Trebles - they seem to have a mind of their own!! Cuddles for you my boy.x

Saw Trebles today - what a beauty - such sad eyes. I am sure the right home is waiting just round the corner. Fingers crossed fella xxxx

What a beautiful boy! Fingers crossed for you. Massive hugs x

If someone has got some spare time on there hands and a partner to help them this boy will be a ideal family member. A very loving beautiful boy that is fabulous in the house. Please take this boy home because you will not be disappointed. Every time I see that poor boy he breaks my heart.

I so wish this boy was happily settled in his forever home, he breaks my heart xxxx

Trebles has got such a worried little face, but he is a beautiful boy and very affectionate. He enjoys his walks and is very good on the lead. In the right home he will make a super companion. Xxxxx

Awww Trebles. Such a pity. Maybe you need to be with another hound and someone who doesn't work or works from home. If we had space and didnt have our hands full with Skip and Sam we'd certainly give you a chance with us. Good luck in finding your forever home. It's out there soon. x

Trebles, I will sell my children and we can stay at home together all day under a blanket, watching television and eating cheese.

Hugs for you Trebles xxxxx

We are heartbroken to have taken Trebles back to the kennels today. Unfortunately it just didn’t work out. We feel he would be more suited in a house with no stairs and people that don’t really go out often and have a lot of time to be able to help him with his separation anxiety. We are gutted as we loved him and he was a great lad. I’m sure the right home is out there for him. Hugs for you beautiful lad! Xx

I've absolutely loved reading this story and how you and Trebles seem to have rescued eachother! It all seemed to happen at the right time. Archie is such a good name for him.

We have started calling him Archie short for Archibald because of his bottom being bald because he never answers to trebles and we are not stuck on the name. We also don’t think he will be going anywhere else soon. Very please with him. A true champion in our eyes.

Well Trebles, from all I’m seeing and hearing you are making a good impression on your foster family. Keep it up and be a really good boy when you meet Florence soon and you might have landed sofa! Xxx

Good boy Trebled, what a greyt update.

Day 3: we went to Sheldon Country Park today and had a lovely walk. He is great on the lead and no pulling at all. We saw a few dogs and was good with them. Little dogs he is interested in but still doesn’t pull just staring. As we were leaving the park two little dogs came up to him which were off lead. They were very intimidating and wouldn’t leave him alone however Trebles stayed very calm during this but when it got too much he did a little bark to get away but nothing aggressive. We are proud of him for coping so well! When we got to the car he waited patiently while we wiped his feet. Very good boy! Can I just say he travels amazingly in the car and we don’t hear a sound off him just lies there until he realises we have got out of the car. Loves his food and was trying to pinch my chocolate buttons and foster mommy’s crisps. He races upstairs if you have food! Slept through night again great. We watched back the tape from when we left him for bit which wasn’t long. There is definitely signs of separation anxiety but we are not giving up and will definitely be working with him through this. It will just take time! He is a lovely boy! Xxx

Good boy Trebles!! I think your foster family are falling head over heels in love with you! Xxx

Great to hear that Trebles is being a good boy, he's got amazing ears by the way xxxxx

How lovely to hear how Trebled is getting on, keep it up lad and who knows (more like how long)?

Day 2 with Trebles: He has been a delight so far and we love him to bits. He slept through the night perfectly when Deborah went to bed. He has got use to the stairs now as he came down for breakfast and let himself back up again. He is most definitely coming out of his shell a bit and gaining more confidence. He decided to pinch a snowman off the tree and run into the room with a butchers tin from the kitchen! We left him for 10 minutes to see how he would get on. There are a few issues but we should be able to fix them overtime. He is fantastic in the house and let’s you know when he wants the toilet. He does like to follow us around a lot that’s for sure. He is a fuss pot. We took a trip to Pet At Home today and he came along. He had a great time... well when he found out there bunny rabbits. Was great with children and other dogs. He did pay attention to a small pug but nothing bad, just staring really. We took him around see if he would like anything but all he was really interested in was the rabbits! HeHe. Anyway we decided to buy him a ball. He seems to love it when we got home. The only problem is there is a forever squeak in the house... oops we might have to hide that at night! Xx

A report from Trebles himself: Today was very weird. Hoomans took me to a place. They said it’s called a pet shop. It was greytz but I didn’t pay attention to anything. There were some greyt fluffy things with long ears there and I was very interested in them to focus on anything else. This new ball is amazing I’m making as much noise as possible with it. Itz greyt fun! Trebles Xx

Fingers crossed for a happy outcome xx

The perfect gentleman he knows the word no. Was a little restless when I took him to bed but settled when Deborah came to bed. Could not ask for anything more from the boy. Very pleased so far.

Do hope all goes well for Trebles. Xxx

Yes we did end up coming home with a foster boy, Trebles! So far he has been the perfect house guest. He has settled well but does keep getting up out of bed if we leave the room. It’s all new for him and he seems a little nervous and confused about things which is understandable. He ate his dinner perfectly and played with his KONG Ball for a good while. He likes to have a good rest in his bed or on the floor and comes for fuss. We are struggling to get him to pee in the garden but I’m sure overtime he will get use to things. Overall his a lovely gentle boy and we love him. We will see how the night goes and we will go from there. Must be so confusing for him! We haven’t tried to let him upstairs yet but his got the option to. Doesn’t seem keen on them but probably overtime he will be racing up them. He seems happy enough which is good. As of yet no accidents in the house and his great on his walks. Seems great so far! Xxx

I have no idea who.... ;)))))))) All I know is that we did make a visit to the kennels today.....

Well done Trebles, I wonder who??????? Xxx

Poor boy we had made our mind up who to have on our sofa after many discussions. Then all of a sudden you turn up and we all feel sorry for you and the discussions go on again. We will end up with 3 dogs in our house because we all want a different one.

Oh dear, Trebles. Never mind - I'm sure another sofa is not far away. xx

Poor Trebles, so sad to see you back. We are coming to the Kennels at the weekend we will come and see you... Xx

Very sadly Trebles has been returned today. He has found it hard to settle in his new home and his owner feels he would perhaps be happier as on only dog. She says he does like to have you all to himself. He does enjoy going for walks and is ok with other breeds of dog. She is heartbroken to have had to return him. Xxx

Oh no sweetheart, so sorry to see you back in kennels, hope you don't have to wait too long for forever home xxxxx

Great homing photo - all the very best to you Mr Pip in your lovely new home. x

Wishing Mr.Pip a very happy new life! Xxx

Aw what a lovely rehoming photo, absolutely love the new name!!!, wishing you lots of love and happiness in your new life xxxx

Took Trebles for a walk yesterday. He's interested in the world around him, easy to walk on a lead. Loves hugs and being stroked and whoever has reserved him is very lucky.

So very happy for Trebles! :) Xxx

Really pleased for you but sad I will not be able to foster you for Christmas......need a placid easy going boy or girl to get along with my 3 but still a few weeks to go yet to see who is the best fit.

Oh my gorgeous boy this is great news - well done. xx

Oh wow, over the moon to see that Trebles has been reserved, he's absolutely gorgeous and he sounds like a real sweetheart. Xxxx

Oh my goodness! I am in love with Trebles....Xx He is a great lad. He is quite reserved at the moment but greets you with a waggy tail. He met Sara's Border Collie, Louis this morning and was great with him. This afternoon when there was so much going on with lots of visitors, he was content to snooze in his kennel laying on his back with legs in the air! :)) It's a good thing I have a full house! :)) Xxx

Oh what a sweetheart, just look at that beautiful sweet face xxxxxxx
