A Stroke of Luck: One Lucky Greyhound’s Tale to a Perfect Home!

I am very probably biased - but 5 stars to our fabulous Daybreaks team of Luci and Kate for bringing about an amazing resolution to what could have been a very traumatic situation. Over the moon to read that Bingo is living the best life - thankyou to his foster Mum for falling under his spell! Angie x

Champ

I’m Fostered

I have been fostering Champ for just over 1 week and he has been a superstar. He loves fuss and cuddles from whoever he meets. He is fully house trained with no accidents. He is fantastic on his lead and has met many dogs on his walks in the park with no reaction. He will.nake somebody a fantastic companion and I will be very sorry to see him go when he gets his forever home.

Champ

Champ has apparently had sleep startle however I have not experienced this. He is very alert and inquisitive but extremely gentle.

Daybreaks Diary!

I’m Homed

What a glorious day it was yesterday, it was great to be able to take the doggies coats off and let them get some fresh air on their skin. We have a kennels full of characters at the moment! Lady, who insists on having her water bowl as her constant companion, Zara who pops her head over the door and gazes longingly at the volunteers in the kitchen who of course have to stop what they’re doing to give her a fuss! Tuco who gets fed up of waiting for his food to arrive so he lies down flat out on the floor, usually right in front of the door so you can’t get in! Keeping fingers crossed that our boys and girls will find their forever homes soon, give the kennels a call if you would like to meet any of them, we’re open from 11am to 4pm every day except Wednesday. Stay safe and well all Angie x

Zara

I’m Homed

Zara is lucky enough to be residing in the kitchen kennel and so has the opportunity to gaze over the split door into the kitchen, totally distracting the volunteers who are working in there!! An absolute bundle of mischief and fun, she would love to have her very own family to charm. Xx

Lady

I’m Homed

This adorable little girl had us all in stitches this morning. For reasons best known to herself, she’s decided that the water bowl doesn’t belong in the stand but she needs to sit on her bed with it in her mouth!!! We watched her diligently work it out of the ring, water going everywhere, then jump up on her bed and sit so proudly with it dangling out of her mouth. 😍 She’s an absolute sweetheart. X

Womble (Kylie)

I’m Homed

Kylie has been to Crufts today! Such a super girlie working with our friends at Greyhound Trust on their stand. They recently arranged for Daybreaks to have a share of some free food from Pets at Home so it’s nice to be able to help them out too. She met and greeted so many people and children and saw other breeds (all sorts), wheelchairs, mobility scooters and crates on wheels of yappy dogs and she didn’t bat an eye. She really is ‘rock solid’ and so ready for a sofa of her own.

Kylie travelled well and has settled at my house. Fine with my greyhounds and little Pod too. We went on a longish walk straightaway and Kylie saw small dogs and cats and wasn’t bothered by either. She’s eaten well and is now chilling in the lounge with rubbish on the tv.

4/3/25 June today went to Elmdon Park She travelled well in the car and walked well on the lead also. She met other breeds and although caution may be needed with very small dogs was fine with all others A very attractive brindle girl with a reserved nature who I'm sure will be a wonderful addition to her permanent home when it arrives

Gino

I’m Available

Gino came to Elmdon Park with me again today. He behaved perfectly, as he has the other times. It was such a lovely day and there were lots of people and dogs in the park. He wasn't phased at all. He doesn't really seek out dogs to greet, but he is polite when they approach him. He ended up nose to nose with a spaniel again today. He enjoyed his walk and a lie down when we got back. He's a really handsome boy and I couldn't help but laugh at his ears today - both pointing in different directions. I was wondering what he was thinking.

Kylie is a lovely girl, very friendly and affectionate. She gets on well with other Greyhounds, she has met other breeds and has been very good with them. She likes going for walks and loves her food! She is a pleasure to have at the kennels. Xxx (Kate)

Rio

Over the Rainbow Bridge

It is with immense sadness I heard from Rio’s dad that he has gone to Rainbow Bridge. He passed away peacefully early this morning with his family by his side. Xxx Phil, has asked me to add the following comment… “Rio was a big, clumsy lad with a huge heart. He was a real gentleman who loved life, loved his mom and dad and adored his Greyhound sister Ella. Xx He has been no trouble except when trying to cut the lawn or vacuum, when he would just lie in the way! It has been a real privilege to know him and love him. We are all missing him desperately, especially Ella who is heartbroken” Phil, Sylvia and Ella. Xxxx Thinking of you all, thank you so much for giving Rio a wonderful, long and happy life with you. Lots of love Kate and all at Daybreaks. Xxx

Don’t forget - our Dental Health Month drop-in session is tomorrow between 1.00pm and 2.00pm. There’s a free health check and tooth scrape for your hound, as well as promotions on dental products in the shop and a chance to get some raffle tickets for the draw taking place on the 28th. With dentals costing anywhere between £400 and £800, prevention is definitely better than cure! Laura will be on hand for advice and guidance, and we’ve got leaflets available to take away with you.
