So pleased Champ has been reserved! It will be a few weeks before he goes off to his new home. He is fine after his neutering op yesterday but he retired due to a broken hock which is sadly taking tine to heal and he is currently being treated for an infection. He will be staying with Ruth and Andy whilst he is being treated by our vet. :)) He spent the day sunbathing along with Caesar and Tony in the kitchen run. He is a really lovely lad. :)) Xxx

It was a lovely spring day! The dogs enjoyed their walks, it was great for them to not have to wear coats. :)) Thanks so much to Norman for taking Shane to the park. He had a great time. :)) Lucy took new photos of some of our residents, some were more cooperative than others! Xx Many thanks to Declan who spent the afternoon tidying up the area around the car park. Xxx We have had a delivery of new fleeces. 🙂 It has been quite difficult to purchase any during the last twelve months. They are plain in several different colours. We have sizes 28" and 30" with the smaller 26" still on order. They are £28. Please give us a call if you would like anymore details. Xxx Xxx

Shane enjoyed his trip to Elmdon park today. He was keen on the lead until he gradually relaxed as he became used to all that was happening in the park. He was fascinated by small dogs but did not show any aggression towards them. He's a lovely friendly big lad who will be a great addition to any home

This boy is gorgeous. He enjoyed being groomed and tolerated having his teeth cleaned. He loved cuddles and once again was delightful to walk. If you are looking to adopt a greyhound please don't walk past him because he has a lot of love to give. Huge codes gorgeous boy. Xx

Barney
I’m Homed
Let me give an update on this boy. Barney has been with us since Saturday afternoon. The time he had with Rosie and family has helped him with some of the house training. Thank you for that Rosie :-). Barney has had a busy day and a half all ready. We gave him a bath and a good shampoo and he looks great, he has a lovely fluffy coat. His thighs and bottom are quite bare. We need to train him with his name, so I have better control over him. For a 5 year old he is very playfull. He enjoys playing chase the ball, he likes to play with a fluffy pig that Charlotte has. We did the play bow. He likes to have a mad run in the garden and enjoyed some digging in the garden. My wife also mentioned that she played with him a number of times. Whilst it is still early days, behaviour wise he is very good. He is clean around the house, he had one accident but that was the first night with us. As far as I am concerned that is to be expected. He needs to learn some human table manners, he can reach the table top and, he also needs to learn what we consider out of bound areas for him. He is very easy to walk and he walks with a very positive, engaging and curious demeanour. In fact during our first walk, we came across a couple who are looking to adopt a greyhound beginning next year and Barney put his best paw forward :-). When he sees dogs in the distance he is curious. When they are close he is equally curious, he got a it scared with a couple of Pugs who started to bark at him. During yestardays park walk he was curious about a Labrador and he had a little lunge at him. For me this was quite easy to control. He saw many other dog breeds in the park but other then being curious we have not experienced any major responses. I think he found an aeroplane a family was playing with more interesting. I have seen Barney a number of times at the kennel before he was previously fostered and he was always very vocal. In our home he has not shown that behaviour. He whines a little now and then, but this is quite soft and not a problem. We just ignore it or take him out to the garden just to make sure he does not need a wee. I just had to walk one of my clients dogs. My wife recorded his behaviour and we need to train him to be alone.

Well - not a good start to the morning! Alex went off with Sue to the vets to be neutered but his temperature was a bit high, so back he came and off when Champ who had almost had his bowl of food put in front of him!!! We turned the kitchen run from our 'Covid sign in' area back to an outdoor run and currently Caesar is sunbathing along with Tigger and Tony. Yvonne, Dave and Moira are in and have just gone out on a walk and it is time for grooming and enjoying this beautiful weather!

An early start for Ruth today, we were completely out of Burns so she went to the warehouse with Lisa B. There were sand run bookings, nail cutting and a viewing. The viewing resulted in handsome boy Alex being reserved, so very happy for him. Ruth was absolutely shattered after her early start to take Ritchie to Wales yesterday, the early start this morning, so we let her go home a little earlier today!!! Beautiful Belle came back from foster this morning, thanks so much for looking after her, she had been reserved and I am so very happy to say I did her homing this afternoon, she has everything set up in her new home for her arrival. Good luck beautiful girl. X Thanks so very much to Dave and Denise for all of their help today, as always very much appreciated. We have viewings booked for later in the week, fingers crossed for some more red or green signs. As always, stay safe and well everyone. Xx
