Leona
Over the Rainbow Bridge
I am very upset to read 'donotbuyfromhere's' comment. I took the call from Claire this morning and was very concerned to hear there were problems. I therefore offered support and advice from Heather, a volunteer who is an 'expert' at helping with children and dogs. Sadly the help was declined. On homing Leona two weeks ago, I mentioned my concerns about homing a greyhound with young children because of recent issues and therefore agreed on a trial to start with. On speaking to Claire, throughout the week by telephone and email, it was agreed that as things were going so well, Claire would like to permanently adopt Leona. I went out with the home checker to visit Leona in her new home last Saturday to ensure that things were going well, which were again confirmed by Claire. I am therefore saddened to read the comments that we appear to not have any concern. I am equally upset that Leona is so easily returnable when help is available and issues can be resolved. I am ALWAYS here to help anyone who wants help, as is all the team of volunteers.

So sorry to see this news. You have to decide what is right for your family but I would just like to say for anyone else reading I took fantastic advice from Heather Hawkins (amongst other people), about Greys with children,when I first had Katy and this helped us work through some difficulties. Good luck Leona.xxx

Ok, I personally advise people NOT to buy a dog from here because of the standard of customer service. My mother has bought Leona. She has wanted to return her as she is concerned about Oscar. My mother rang up and told them she was returning Leona and the person who answered was mean, nasty and generally unpleasant. After I heard about this I also found out about no refunds. I am appalled at this as I would have thought that, as this being a TRUST, that they would at least have some concern for their customers. Evidently Not. Me and my family will never buy from here again because of the lack of quality.

My Oscar was sat watching tv and I was sat next to him he did nothing and Lola/Leona kept nipping at him it's not the first time .... My sons safety is paramount and the last thing I want is for the dog to really bite and hurt him it's not good that now he is scared of her ... I'm doing what is right for my son and nobody can blame me ... The dog is fine with older children .... Good luck Lola/Leona

Poor Leona, these things usually have a cause and can be avoided xxx Its a shame, having read how well she had settled that the family can't work through it. I understand that when a child is injured that you react to protect them, but if the cause is avoidable then it could be prevented in the future. I have 3 kids, 4 dogs (3 greys) and 4 cats, and my children know not to pester the dogs, not to approach them in their own spaces eg on their beds (let sleeping dogs lie) and they never feed them, and we have never had a problem. The children and dogs respect each other and adore each other. Eg the dogs will come for cuddles when they want to be fussed, and they never pester or expect food etc from the kids. If we can be of any help, please let us know xxxx

Leona is being returned to the kennels tomorrow. She has nipped at Oscar the youngster in the house. I have offered advice and support but sadly this has been declined.

Poor Berry, she has had my cuddle today. It's been over a year since knew her, but she was a sweet friendly girl who really enjoyed the company of my two. Things may well have changed since then, but she used to get anxious when left even for a short time, although she was the only pet back then. She wasn't cat friendly, otherwise I would have taken her when I knew her - I was very tempted anyway! The right home is out there for you lovely girl xxx
