This is my super duper dog! He is very settled and happy in his new home. He has been very clean...no accidents and has been very well behaved since day one! I couldn't be more pleased with my hansome Miles. Everyone in the village loves him and goes on about how handsome he is! He is an absolute star and the love of my life! 🙂 He comes to the farm with me to see the horses and sleeps quietly in my landy while I finish my jobs there. He loves his walks, is great with other dogs and is just a super star! I feel I must be missing something when I see some of these dogs returned...I don't understand as I feel they are just such an amazing breed! He is everything I wanted and more!!!!!!! Thank you all Naomi x x x

Thanks Jenny. It's not negative advice at all and I take it in the good way it's meant. I want to do the right thing and will take as long as it needs and chat to as many people as needed to make sure that's what happens. School hols come around every 6/7 weeks (lucky me I know!) so when I'm ready and the right grey is ready, I'm sure what will be will be. x

Hi Lauramac at the risk of being shot down in flames by all the others who like me are besotted with our lovely Greys (I have 3) can I just say one thing, meant in the best possible way. I have followed your messages on the comments page for ages and I can see how desperate you are to give a loving home to a Grey, and that you would be devestated if it didn't work out and you had to return your Grey. There are so many happy homings thank goodness, but when a dog is returned, like you my heart sinks. My beautiful Cara suffered this fate and it took over 6 months to get rid of the confusion she had, and realise she was here to stay. I hate to be the only negative advice giver and I am sure you realise that there is always a settling in period (some better than others) but the underlying theme from most of the Positive comments to you seems to be " the dog picks you" this ,and Ruth and the volunteers knowledge and observation of the particular dog whilst at the kennels is invaluable in the success of a rehoming. Hope this helps and as you have taken so long to find "THE ONE" I know that a forever home is your aim. Good Luck Jenny

Magnum Gent
I’m Homed
Hi Ina. Thanks for your message, lovely to hear from you. Gent's absolutely fine - I think we're more bothered than he is! He's not limping, we just noticed the blood in the porch when we got home from his walk. Bathed his foot in salt water (he never even winced) and have got some antiseptic spray. Have no idea what he trod on, as we do try to 'scan' the route in front of him looking out for broken glass, etc. Hope to see you on the next walk and I hope that you are feeling better too. Mand x

Hi all, I hope you enjoyed the walk today, the weather was beautiful for it! I was disappointed not to be there, which made me think all the more about how lovely it would be to own a grey and get out and enjoy weather like this. I had a lovely afternoon at the kennels yesterday having a chat and a cuddle (chatting to people - cuddling dogs!) I went for a wander and the first dog to get off her bed and greet me with a sloppy kiss and her gorgeous face happened to be Razzle. I realy enjoyed walking her and would be very very interested in rehoming. My husband has been away this weekend so I need him to meet her too and would like to know if she can be cat tested? Although my cat only comes home once every other week or so I would need to know they'd be ok. Easter hols coming up would be perfect settling in time...

Thanks all, I really appreciate your comments and interest. I am a teacher so I am lucky enough to get the long holidays to spend with a grey. I've been working very long days as I work in a high pressured school but I need to make a change from that and am certain a grey would encourage me to rush home! I'm away with friends tonight so don't think I'll be back in time for the walk tomorrow but am going to try pop to the kennels today. Will let you know how I get on. 🙂

We have Jack back at home, very annoyingly we were told that they don't x-ray on a Saturday, so we were asked to bring him in Saturday starved for an x-ray because...?! So he is booked in for Tuesday (when they DO x-ray!) and has more anti-inflamitories and antibiotics because his glands are up, he has a slight temperature and a periodic cough (as well as diarrhea!) I asked about warts and was told he doesn't have any...so anyway, Tuesday he's being x-rayed and bloods done...fingers crossed again...

Cleo

Cleo has now been with us for two weeks and she has settled into our home really well. Dan has been fantastic with her and she has not had any accidents, she has even pinched his bed on a number of occasions!! He has not been fussed and has got into hers! They walk excellent alongside one another and she does not mind when we let him off his lead. Her confidence has really come on and she is now playing with her toys (she has broke the squeaker in one!). We had a grooming day last week and she was bathed, groomed and had a teeth done. Dan had his grooming too!

hello Lauramc, i also work long hours as i am a catering manager and i get up extra early so i can take my three boys for a walk before i go and as soon as i get in i get changed and take them out for a long walk, it does me the world of good to get out and get fresh air and the boys enjoy it also. don't forget that they are used to being on their own at the racing kennels (that is whithout humans) and most of them will adapt to your routine, some need a little more work but you will find that most of us do work and a lot of us work full time and long hours so please don't let it put you off. you mentioned being off at easter so maybe you work at a school and get a lot of the holidays which would be fantastic for you and the grey as you can have lots more time with him/her than the rest of us. best thing to do is come along and see as many dogs as possible and walk them and interact with them and before you know it your very own greyhound will let you know that he/she has chosen you to be their new mum. they are wonderful animals and i would not ever be without my 3 lads. we also may be at the walk on sunday so please do feel free to come and chat to us, i have red and black hair and my boys are 3 big black dogs, toby walks with a bad limp, you can't miss us. it will be lovely to meet you and if you fancy you can help me walk my three. love Ina x
