Yet another busy day! Sand run bookings, nail clippings, dropping off of very generous donations, oh and a beagles party in the sand run this morning. This was the second week of what looks like a regular Sunday booking. I have no idea how many there are, but it's A LOT!!!! Sadly River was unreserved today, please don't let his age put you off, he is a lovely boy. It was so busy that I started the very handsome Chase's homing this morning and finally completed it at around 4 o'clock this afternoon. He is now the official brother to Maisie Moo. Well done Chase, you will be so very loved and spoiled. Thanks to our fantastic volunteer Dave for giving him a loving home after fostering him since January. Thanks to everyone for their help today, thanks also to Liz for taking Joe out to the park and also to Kitty's parents Ned and Jackie for taking Joey for an outing this afternoon. Well, another week is upon us, let's hope for more red and green signs. We have so many deserving dogs looking for their forever homes (they are all deserving I know), but it can be unsettling for the returnees. Stay safe and well everyone. X

Joe came with me to Elmdon Park today. He is such a handsome boy. He was so excited when I went in to lead him up and was very happy to be out of his kennel. He walked well and enjoyed all the new smells in the park. We met dogs of all sizes and he said hello politely to them all. Whilst he behaved perfectly with all the dogs he met, I did get the impression that he was tolerating some of them rather than enjoying meeting them. One little teddy bear dog ran at him and he jumped about ten foot in the air and then stood about a meter away from him with a look as if to say 'what did you do that for?'! Bless him, for a big boy he seemed little bemused by a small dog with a big personality! He loves his fuss and happily let some children stroke him. Here's hoping that someone falls for this affectionate and happy boy very soon xx

Ah sweetheart, so sorry things haven't worked out for you. On the plus side for me though, it means we can have plenty more snuggles until your forever sofa comes along.xxx

Sadly, River has been unreserved. Hopefully his forever sofa is not too far away.

What a crazy day today, lots of ups and downs.... This morning Roxy, Dee and Denver all came in for their post Homing health checks. All of them are really doing great in their new homes and settling well. Thanks you so much to their new families for giving them wonderful loving homes Xxx Pretty little Robin came into the kennels and within a few hours found herself Reserved! A fabulous family travelled a good two hours with their own three beautiful dogs to meet her. They brought cocktail sausages for all of our residents...they loved them. :)) Xxx Padfoot Paddy came in to be officially adopted! He was such a patient boy while we were completing his paperwork. 🙂 Lovely Homing photo too. Xxx Sahara now Marli was signed up too! Brilliant to see she has been reunited with her litter Brother. :)) Xxx Rosie found herself reserved. She is a super little girl. Xxx This afternoon Bill was returned. :(( So very sad for this lovely, happy lad. Hoping he will soon find a new home. He has gone home with Ruth tonight. Xxx In between all of these comings and goings we had visitors for the sand run and donations of bedding. Lorna had a couple of pampers too! Xxx Ruth and I are so grateful to everyone for Their help today. Thanks to Angie and Michael for cleaning and feeding all of our residents early this morning before anyone else arrived! Xxx thanks to Jess for doing nail clipping and feeding everyone this afternoon. Many thanks to all of our walkers too! You are all Fab!! :)) Xxx

Well it has been a long road for this girl to get her home in north wales! She is our 4th gorgeous hound from daybreaks - first we welcomed grey face joey and soon after milly. They both moved from Birmingham to north wales with us but sadly crossed to rainbow bridge in 2019 and 2020. July 2020 we welcomed the lovely zeb into our home! Last September I was looking at greyhound data and saw that zebs sister - Sahara marlowe was still racing at Perry Barr so sent a message to Ruth….I kept watching her data and seeing she was still racing…October..November…December….Jan…and then Ruth messaged! Anyway - she’s here with us now and reunited with her brother. Sleeps curled up next to him and has made the sofa her home with us in evening. It’s taken a while for her to get the hang of where to wee and all the strange noises from small children and toys but she is doing so well. Lots of patience, time, and supervision!!! Xxxx

It was gold stars all round this morning for lovely clean kennels from all our residents. Johnny was as bright as a button after his neutering yesterday, and tucked into his breakfast. It was a great day by the looks of things - Paddy & Sahara all signed up, and both with lovely new names. And 2 lovely red signs for the lovely Rosie and returnee Robin - great news. So sad to see the beautiful Bill returned - it has been a difficult past couple of weeks, but Daybreaks is here for these gorgeous hounds and we will take good care of them until we can find them forever sofas again. xxx
