By the way I have had 2 black boys and one black girl over the years and these black beauties are the very best of hounds. LUV THEM.

Oh dear, what are you doing to me.? I feel if I was up for adoption some of the same negatives would apply to my details. I am not a stray haven't been too illtreated over the years, not really a pretty colour and age definitely against me. Maybe Tony and I have much in common !!!!!!

Ashley is gorgeous. Having been in a home he seemed a bit bewildered to be at the kennels last week, but when I was in the run with him yesterday he was great. very calm, very responsive, he ate his dinner like a gentleman and enjoyed a cuddle or two. Lovely gentle boy. Love the photos xxxx

Well yesterday I went zoomies in th garden when I came back mum was home! She went shopping. She took out a weird shaped item that was wrapped. I didn’t care about the item. I cared about the paper! I took the paper off her and just ripped it for about 5 minutes. It was fun. After my paper madness I saw what the item was. It was another greyhound! It’s quite scary actually because it doesn’t move. I looked at it for 10 minutes it was just staring at me. I thought trying to lick it would help. It just tasted like nothing. Definitely not real.

Ashley came out for a walk with me and Big Tone on Saturday and he was great company. Very easy to walk and friendly in the kitchen run.

I was so saddened to hear that Roy and Saddle were back at the kennels. If only my own circumstances were different, they would be mine forever despite their naughtiness!....... 🙁

Ashley

This boy was brought to the kennels last week as his owners were unable to keep him. They had got him from Gumtree which they thought they were helping a dog in need but sadly found that their home was not the right situation for him despite coming to us for help and advice. He has been assessed over the past few days and today spent some time with the cats and is deemed to be cat friendly. We apologise to the trainers whose dogs are on the ever increasing waiting list as he has taken one of their places but we were asked to take him as a matter of urgency.

So Tony is still at Daybreaks, over three months after arriving here. Why I ask? Easy I guess..... firstly he is male - the boys are much harder to home than the girls. Secondly he is black - the pretty colours go much quicker such as fawns, blues and brindles. Thirdly - he hasn't got age on his side as he has just turned 6. Finally - he hasn't got a sad story attached to him. He is not a stray, been mistreated, rescued from abroad or had any sort of ill treatment we dread to hear about - he is just a product of the racing industry. People fall for those who have had a terrible time - it is only human but for Tony he has had none of this thankfully. The sad fact is he is just another one on our worry list of trying to find a home for. We have sleepless nights from daily calls from people who have had dogs that can no longer keep them and we have to turn them away as we are full to our capacity at the moment. We have the pressure of over 60 dogs on a waiting list waiting for a space here too. Stepping off my soap box now - sorry..... :-((((

Hi to everyone, I have sent my dad over with some bedding to help keep all you houndies snuggly in bed. Mom has also put some greeting cards in for your humans to sell when they do fundraising she hopes they are ok. Off to sit in the garden for a bit while mom does housework, don't like the vacuum it's very noisy and steals all my treat crumbs . Byeee and take care.

Nice walk with pretty Molly. She look so small on her own in the kennel now that Rebel has his forever sofa. She's another friendly little girl who does enjoy one to one cuddles. xxxxxx

I walked Tony With Nancy today. Once again he was a joy to walk, stopping when required, no pulling just patiently waiting until we could walk on again. If awards were given for patience this handsome boy would have a shed full. He is a very special lad xxx

Nancy is such a lovely friendly young dog. After spending five minutes with her in her kennel, I felt as if I'd been through a car wash!! She just can't stop giving kisses. xxxxx

Good luck in your new home Rebel. Will miss seeing that little face and lovely eyes at the kennels as you seem to have been waiting patiently for a while. Be a good boy and enjoy your retirement.

Saw Tony yesterday he greeted us with a waggy tail! When we left he had such sad eyes. Hope he gets his forever home soon. He really deserves it, he is a super lad.
