Ahhh that nice green tag Rehomed , a message to her new owner if you haven't already had a rescue dog before , they do settle and they become the most rewarding , precious things in the world and if you have , then you will know exactly what I mean , regardless of their background , have fun and give her a big hug from me and Carrie

Aww, it's always sooooo sad when a dog is returned. It must be very saddening for the family to make that decision but, hey, it's the best decision for the dog if they are stressed / unhappy etc. And let's face it - that picture of Fudge, wow what a gorgeous dog ! He'll be in a more suitable home very soon, i'm sure ! X

Thanks Deb for clarifying that , there must be some Good hearted Strong willed dog lovers out there who can take a dog in and then let it go , even if they know its going to a good home , it must be tough work emotionally , hats off to them.

fostering really means that the grey is being cared for in someones home rather than being kept in the main kennels whilst a permanent home is found. Sometimes dogs are fostered if they are old or are not well or they are stressed in kennels or have already lived in a home. Quite a few greys however do seem to end up being rehomed by their foster families and I think some are fostered in an attempt to hoodwink some partners into thinking the dogs are going back (when they dont) a trick which seems to have worked quite a number of times!

OK , I give up , I've asked Carrie and she hasn't a clue either ,she just ate her Bonio , wagged her tail and looked confused .... but what is the difference between Fostering and Rehoming a greyhound ?

Bailey boy also loved his bath and all the love and attention...he is such a gentle lad and he really looks into your eyes and melts your heart...i so wish he will get a new home soon as i know how much he was wanted and loved in his previous home and how hard it must have been for his owner to return him.....someone will get an absolute gem with this boy, hugs for Bailey xxxx
