Buddy
I’m Homed
Heartbroken for this boy and his previous owner, poor lad must be so confused to find himself back in kennels, and he must be so missing his owner, I really hope somebody finds it in their hearts to give Buddy a home so he can live the rest of his life in peace, keeping my fingers crossed for him, big hugs for you Buddy xxxxx

Charlotte
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Erik, Irina and Sofia, I am heartbroken to see this news about Charlotte. She was indeed a true greyhound ambassador and certainly did put up with a lot from Barney and Caesar. She will run fast and free at Rainbow Bridge with all of our beloved hounds that have passed before. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. She is no longer by your side, but she is forever in your hearts. Much love to you all. X

Charlotte
Over the Rainbow Bridge
It is with great sadness that I need to inform you that our beloved Charlotte, passed away this afternoon when we were 2 minutes away from our vet appointment. The comfort we feel is that she passed away in the presents of her 3 humans as if we were going on a fun trip somewhere. Whilst we are currently very upset, we also want to remember the brilliant dog she was. She did fundraising for (now) Daybreaks kennels, awareness raising during road shows. Her kind spirit and wanting to be center of attention made her a real character. She was kind, patient with our baby, now 5 year old daughter. Charlotte was a great ambassador for the breed. We shall miss her dearly.

Mikey
I’m Homed
Had the pleasure of Mikey’s company again as we went for a walk to Breuton Park and Solihull town centre. As usual, he was well behaved in the car and was good as gold on his lead. We took him through the children’s play area to see how he would react to children playing. Although he was inquisitive, there were no negative reactions to the children. We walked into the town centre and he drew a lot of attention with many comments on how well behaved he was in such a busy environment. After a quick hot chocolate and water break we made our way back through the park and back to the kennels. Hopefully Mikey will find a lovey forever home soon. xx

Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
It was a proper wintry start this morning - frost everywhere!! Can't say I am too happy about that at all!! Thanks to the Friday Team for their hard work during what turned into a busy day. Morning & afternoon walks were done, worked around health checks, teeth cleaning, bedding sorting, a homing as well as arrival & admission procedures for our 2 new black beauties. Tiff went off to the Vets this morning for a check up following her dental earlier in the week - and came back to kennels to find herself reserved! Great news for this little sweetheart. Our 2 newbies Pops & Jess are both lovely. Understandably a little bemused at finding themselves in a strange place with strange people, so lets hope they have a good first night and start to settle soon. x It was lovely to see Tina off to her new home this afternoon, wishing her & her new family many happy times ahead. x We had a kind donation of a very large George Barclay dog bed - it would happily accommodate a large Grey (or 2 smaller ones!!) so if you are in need of a large bed please give the kennels a call. A quick message to the attendees of last Sunday's Halloween Howl - many of you left without taking your candles with you. I know by the end of the ceremony we were all cold & damp and just made a dash for the exit!! but your candles are safe at the kennels for you to collect the next time you pop in - just ask. Very sadly we have a returnee to the kennels tomorrow due to his owner being taken very ill - Buddy who is 12 and has been out in a home for 6 years. Let's hope we can get this elder gent back out into a home as quickly as possible. Well, the weekend is here again. I shall be raising my glass later to all Daybreaks residents, the kennels is bursting at the seams again, and wishing for forever homes for them all soon. Whatever you are up to this weekend stay safe & warm, and hope your hounds don't get too distressed by the fireworks that I am sure will plague us all over the next few days. Cheers!! Angie xx

I had a chat with Star's new Mum today, and she has asked me to pass on the following:- "Star has settled brilliantly, she is eating & sleeping well, has happily met all the family and many visitors, and has slotted in like she has always been there. She is much loved already - a dream". So lovely to hear such a great update - well done Star. x

There was a real Autumnal feel in the air today but it stayed dry! Thanks so much to everyone who helped make sure all of our residents got morning and afternoon walks. :). Mikey was very lucky and got to go out for a few hours to the park! As usual he was such a good boy and had a lovely time. 🙂 Xxx Tiff came back to the kennels after being fostered for a few days after her neutering operation on Monday. She received a glowing report from the lovely family who fostered her. Xxx Alan and James went to the warehouse for us...thank you so much! The van behaved itself and thankfully it started fine when it was time to come back to the kennels. :))) Shirley, Richard and Denise were kept busy doing a little craft work for Ruth. :)) There is a Christmas Fete in her local village on Saturday. She and Andy will be there with a stall to help raise money for Daybreaks. Xxx Ruth wasn't too well today, hoping she will feel better for Saturday and be able to enjoy the event. Xxx We have two new arrivals tomorrow a boy and a girl...:))) Thinking of Simon and Lynne and their three beautiful Greyhounds tonight. Such a lovely family. Sending them lots of love. Xxx Kate Xxx

We are so grateful to Hannah and Stu for looking after Tiff since her neutering operation on Monday. She has had a lovely time and has shown what a wonderful girl she is! Thanks to Hannah's Mum for her very positive comments regarding Tiff's needs for a gluten free diet. Fingers crossed this beautiful girl will soon find her forever home. 🙂 Xxx
