Ina (volunteer who spoke to you today) x

Ah bless you Smokey, you've been reserved. So pleased for you. Mand x

Smokey is beautiful, if only i had more time and space. Jodie even promises to be nice!! x

Aw he has the same Granddad as Alfie! He's GORGEOUS. Poor thing :( I hope he feels much better soon, we hope to come down once Alfie is better and help walk again, I hope Smokey finds his perfect home soon, he's a real stunner.

Ruthie what are you trying to do to me,he is sooooooo beautiful and you know hubbie is worried sick I am thinking mmm maybe 4 greys is no more work than 3. Someone reserve him quickly xxx

I love this boy soooo much, h is an absolute angel, please please someone give this beautiful boy the loving home he so deserves.

From my experience I can definately say that the little ones are harder work that the big ones! My big boy Kevin was so strong on the lead he was only walked on his own by male handlers, then within a matter of weeks at home he wins first prize in a junior handling competition with my 10 year old daughter! Smokey is just one gorgeous big boy who has got so much love to give. Plus, you have to agree, he is rather pleasing to the eye! Em xxx

anyone who is looking at this gorgeous boy and then sees him in the flesh and thinks' goodness he is so big' please don't let his height put you off. greyhounds don't take up all that much room and a large greyhound really does not take up any more than a smaller one, i should know as i own the biggest hound i have ever seen, he raced at nearly 40kg and you'd never even know he's in the house once he is on his bed...in fact the smallest one of our lot makes his presence felt a lot more than the two big boys.i'd go for temperament rather than size any time. xxx

He's is sweet natured, he may be big but his heart is too!! He'll love you to bits if you let him. Me and Smokey had a play yesterday, he was jumping from one settee to the other while I was putting a new blanket on one of them. Even when he's recovering he still wants to play. Go on give him a chance!! Big hugs and kisses and lots of licksxx xx xx x x x x

Poor Smokey, he looks like he's got stuck in a polo-neck jumper! No wonder he looks like Gent, they share the same grandfather. Please don't be put off by a greyhound's size, you really don't notice it after a while and because they're so graceful, they don't feel like 'big' dogs at all. Pop up to meet Ruth and the team, I'm sure they'd appreciate some visitors on this miserable day and the dogs will enjoy a bit of fuss. Good luck Smokey. Mand x

Smokey is so fed up with his bandage. He had lots of cuddles all day from Joe, one of our volunteers. He is a fantastic boy.... so gentle but due to his size he hasn't been picked yet.

You poor thing, I hope you're not being teased to much about your very funky bandage and life ring, but even if you are I bet you can't hear it through all that blue stuff (have to say, I think it's a look that could catch on!) Good luck little man.

Oh poor lad, sending you big cuddles its a good job you were not back by the time we left yesterday, otherwise Jake would have smuggled you away with us !! XXXX

he is still one of the most beautiful greyhounds about even with the bandage, his eyes are just so amazing and he is such a love, speeedy recovery little man, lots of love. xxxx

Oh poor Smokey. He still looks gorgeous even with the bandage!!

poor poor Smokey - he had a nasty looking growth removed along with half his ear today. He is sporting a fabulous head bandage and feeling so sorry for himself. He is a such a lovely boy.

I saw Smokey today and it was quite funny watching his full on charm offensive against a potential owner! A great big soppy grey who would be a super addition to somebody's family. Em xxx

Gorgeous gorgeous boy,loved playing with Sara yesterday

Doncha think this photo makes him look like Grommit out of Wallace and Grommit? Beautiful! Em xxx

he is just adorable and loves his cuddles, someone is going to be very lucky to get this very handsome boy.

Smokey met another breed of dog yesterday - very fluffy..... and he was brilliant. His size is putting people off as he really is a very big boy - but all the more to cuddle eh?!

I did a double-take, thought you'd got a picture of Gent. They look exactly the same from that angle! He looks gorgeous - fairly certain it won't take long for someone to fall for him. Mand x

Those eyes just say please take me home and who wouldn't want to take him home. He's very handsome can't wait to take him a walk on Sunday with my Blue.xxxxxx

oh i wish i wish if only how lovely i fell in love with zippy how can nobody fall in love he will break somebody's heart in years to come xxx

He is gorgeous! look at those lovely eyes!
hes going to snatch someones heart very fast!
