Timmy
I’m Homed
Timmy, has been with us for some time and he really needs his forever home. Timmy, is a young boy who loves being in the garden. He particularly enjoys try to get my other two to play and it can get a bit boisterous and loud. He loves human contact and will always happily great people, sometimes a bit to enthusiastic, but remember he is only 2 so still a youngster. He gets on with my 5 year old daughter who can be very loud and active, but always supervise your dog in the presence of children. He also loves his fellow Greyhound contact. He does need a home where he has another Greyhounds around which makes his management easier. Timmy, is doing well with obedience. I have thought him some basics, such as loose lead walking, walking to heel, stopping at a curb, the stay in the home, some distracting techniques. Not all are perfect but he is so much better then when we first had him. Timmy, is going to be at Daybreaks birthday event this Sunday. If you are interested in this lovely and loving boy we will be there around 13.00. If you can give him a home with other Greyhounds, please come and see him. If you want support with settling Timmy, Talk of the Dog will provide 2, 1 hour sessions within a month of adopting Timmy. Timmy, really needs and deserves a forever home please come and see him.

We had a visit from the Pet Blood Bank today. There were several Pet dogs donating including Belle who gave her fifth donation and received a badge and smart Red lead. 🙂 Two of the Trust dogs also became blood donors, Cristina and our new lad Con. The staff said Con was very calm until afterwards when he was given a treat of some cheese. They said he was extremely impressed and excited to receive it! I guess he might not have tasted it before. :))) Xxx If you are interested in your dog becoming a donor for the Pet Blood Bank please give us a call and we can pass their details on to you. Xxx Ruth took Socki off to the vets to be neutered this morning and she has gone home with Ruth tonight. Xxxx Xxx

A busy day today with Socki off for her Spey and the blood bank in which brought extra visitors to the kennels. Tomorrow,16 years ago on 1st July 2006, with excitement and trepidation, I opened the doors of Daybreaks - my only mission was to help more greyhounds like my first - Tara (racing name Daybreaks Beauty) During this time, over 3,000 homes have been found - we’ve had many highs as well as many lows but I hope Daybreaks continues to be able to help many more gentle souls in the future. Thank you so much to everyone who has adopted, supported and continues to support…. This post is not a pat on the back for me but a thank you to Daybreaks supporters and for the greyhounds lucky enough to come through our doors and many more to come ???? xx

Thanks to everyone for their help today. It was a quite day for visitors. All dogs that could had morning walks and sand run fun this afternoon. We had a new arrival this morning, the lovely Con, he came in with the pet name of Contact, thankfully his trainer didn't mind me changing his name. Xx

Sending lots of love to Spirit's family. So very sad you have had to say Goodbye to your beautiful boy. Xxx So very unfair he has been taken at such a young age. He has left Star and Shadow to look after you all and he will always be with you. There is a special new angel at Rainbow Bridge tonight, God Bless Spirit. Xxx Kate, Skip, Lyra and Cracker. Xxx

I had the terribly sad news that Steph, Will and Stacey had to say goodbye to Spirit this morning, thinking of them at this very difficult time. Taken far too soon. He is no longer by their sides but will be forever in their hearts. Run fast and pain free special boy :((( Xx

Our lovely Socki was reserved today. :)) She had a very handsome Greyhound lad come to meet her. He was also introduced to Zavi who was very excited to meet him! Zavi was very happy but was a litttle too exuberant for the lad and he chose Socki to be his new friend. I am sure Zavi will soon find his forever home too. Xxx When Cristina went out on her morning walk she found something very interesting...fox poo! She managed to plaster her muzzle, collar and tracker with it! Yuk....Yvonne and I gave her a good wash down when she got back to the kennels. :)) Xxx Norman took Tilly for a visit to the park. :)) She really enjoyed herself. She is such a lovely girl. Xxx Many thanks to Shirley and Richard for collecting some donations from Pets at Home this morning and to everyone who helped out today. Xxx

So very happy for Socki. Hoping Douglas (Dougie) will be OK without her when she goes home. They have become a great double act as Rubytwoshoes says. Xx
