I just can't foster Miss Lilly any more....I have to keep her forever. I think it is the thought that she was found as a stray and to think that no-one was looking for her because no-one cared enough that she was gone. She is the most affectionate and gentle creature and I cannot bear the thought of handing over her care to someone else. She will have the most lovely life here with us. She is loved and will have everything she needs.

Rory
Over the Rainbow Bridge
I love this new picture of Rory! I have met Rory the day I brought my 3 year old son & 8 month old whippet to Daybreaks to find an older companion for my whippet. He really was a super pooch & will make a wonderful life long friend for someone or a family. He was great with my son & didn't bat an eyelid over our tiny whippet. He was on my very short list but Henry seemed to bond better with our pooch than with Rory. By no means am I saying Rory was anti social though! He's a lovely boy & will make a super companion. A really nice dog. I hope he finds the right home soon x

The one thing that stands out to me is that if you are having any problems with your grey,no matter how experienced you may be, PLEASE ask for help,either by ringing Ruth or putting it on the website as I am sure between everyone at Daybreaks we can come up with the right solution,to almost any problem,BEFORE it becomes too much to handle.I'm sure most people would love the chance to offer their help and advice to solve a problem,rather than air their "frustations" after the opportunity of a loving home is lost.

Hector (Rumble)
I’m Homed
Hector has been with us now just over a week and has settled in so well. He is a calm and loving boy who loves being fussed by us all. He has adjusted so well into the family home, the support and advice given by Ruth has really helped us in achieving a happy rehoming for Hector. He has a healthy appetite and is a very clean boy, we were expecting a few accidents as we appreciate they don't come house trained but he very quickly adapted. He is part of our family and already very much loved. Hector would like Rory to visit at Easter if he is not rehomed, I think he may like a brother!

1 year ago tomorrow Bess joined our lives. It's been hard at times but the good times far out way the bad. We can't imagine life without this precious creature and what a positive impact she has had on my life. Tomorrow morning we will go to Daybreaks to get some Burns and then go for lunch at a dog friendly pub in Upton upon Severn to mark the day. Four words say it all.......WE. LOVE. YOU. BESS. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Carrie
Over the Rainbow Bridge
I've Just been sat on the cold stone kitchen floor talking to Carrie ,who had her head snuggled into my shoulder , a greyhound completely changes your perception of what a dog should be ! She seems to be a bit dim sometimes,like getting so excited about being tickled on the tummy that she falls off the bed and then has to deal with Ted getting grumpy with her ! but I just know she knows everything about me , In fact I think she knows more than I do

Rory

I'm sorry that I was not able to visit yesterday and take you for a walk Rory but at the last minute something came up and I had to do something else but don't worry I still think about you each day. If I could I would love to be able to give you your loving home but at the moment I'm living in accomodation which does not allow pets. Any way enough about me - how are you going? I cannot understand why you haven't been rehomed by now, Auntie Ruth tells me that it is usually the black greys that have a hard job finding a home. Is it because you want to be able to pick your new mommy and daddy - don't worry they will arrive at the kennels very shortly, I hope. Hopefully I will try hard to see you next Friday - a new month, a new home, we can only keep our fingers crossed for you. With lots of cuddles and kisses and hopefully a big red label will be seen soon. Love Auntie Ann xxx

It is bonkers that warden schemes including these new retirement villages ban pets.People with pets live longer,they have better physical and mental health than non dog owners and visit the GP less often.Very short sighted - I feel a campaign coming on ............

Sometimes things are not meant to be my son Dan is a friend of Jess and I know how much they loved their grey Pepper and miss her terribly. I hope with time the right grey will be out there for them as they were wonderful owners who adored Pepper who was taken from them before her time.In At some point I hope to see them again on the RGT walks -time is a great healer and I know they have much love to give another hound.Love to you all.

Hello Jess91. Firstly i am sorry for your mothers loss a dearly loved grey in such tragic circumstances', but secondly, I am am entitled to my opinion. Nothing in my discussion was offensive just factual i still do believe that 5 days was not long enough and that you gave up on him too soon, contrary to what you think. Perhaps you were looking for a replacement, which would never happen, which is why you returned him so quickly. You obviously thought you (or your mother) could cope but couldn't. Some people need longer than others. Some replace their dog straight away to fill the gap which eases their pain, and so get over their beloved pet quicker. some never get over it even with time. However Can I ask you a question? who did you expect to 'Housetrain' the dog, the owner the trainer Ruth or himself! If you've had a greyhound, you of all people should know that these dogs come from kennels. They are kenneled for most of the day and for some their needs are very special, especially when it comes to rehoming. The dogs that are housetrained are very few, and usually have spent time in a home before and may be heading for their second or even third home. It was up to you to ask questions and you should have made sure sure this dog was right for you. Anxiety is a problem with some dogs. Maybe you should have picked a more suitable time to home him, for instance School holidays when somebody could have been therefor company until he had settled and his stress levels eased, thus no fouling of the house, and you cant watch for toileting if you're not around. However Ruth and the 'team' at Daybreaks are second to none, (you would have to search very hard to find a disgruntled customer of hers) with all the advice you could ever wish for honest, solid and truthful, She loves all the dogs in her care and takes re-homing very seriously. If you didn't act upon advice given (and i'm sure it was) or didn't ask questions, or for extra help who's fault is that? Keep up the good work Ruth and the team, wishing you many more successful homings, these dogs can't do it without you. For every unhappy homing there are many happy ones. Sorry if my first comments have caused blame to be laid upon you Ruth, they weren't meant with intent. Good Luck in your new home Patrick, in the right one you'll be settled in real soon' you'll see. xxxx Keep up the good work Ruth, best wishes to all the team and good luck to Patrick in his new home.
