Gino

Gino came with me to Elmdon Park yesterday. He was an absolute star. We saw lots of dogs and he even came nose to nose with some of them. He behaved impeccably and was, once again, a pleasure to take out. He shows so much potential to make a brilliant pet. I hope someone soon falls for him and his goofy, very expressive ears!

Gino

I took Gino to Elmdon Park again today. Once again, he was an absolute pleasure. He walked calmly on a loose lead. We crossed paths several times with a Dachshund, who he showed no interest in. A westie came up to say hello as well and Gino took that in his stride. We even walked through lots of ducks and he didn't even bat an eyelid as they scattered in all directions. He's a real sweetie :-)

<h4><strong style="color: var(--primary-text);">EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT</strong></h4><h5><strong style="color: var(--secondary-text);">Physiotherapy is coming to Daybreaks Trust!</strong></h5><span style="color: var(--primary-text);">Oh wow! We are extremely lucky here at Daybreaks; our amazing trust dogs have been offered complimentary veterinary physiotherapy sessions every month by Stacey, a fully qualified and insured veterinary physiotherapist.</span> <span style="color: var(--primary-text);">Stacey visited yesterday, and it was a tremendous success as she treated all the trust dogs. It was heartwarming to witness them receiving on-to-one treatment, helping to make their athletic bodies more comfortable after years of racing.</span> <span style="color: var(--primary-text);">We discovered that while all our dogs are generally happy and healthy, but one of our boys is quite stiff and could benefit from some adjustments to help him feel better! We would never have realised this without Stacey's visit.</span> <span style="color: var(--primary-text);">Given our dogs' racing backgrounds, physiotherapy will be incredibly beneficial, allowing us to further enhance the welfare of our beautiful Greyhounds!</span> <em style="color: var(--primary-text);">The good news doesn’t end there...</em> <strong style="color: var(--primary-text);">Discounted Physiotherapy Clinic</strong> <span style="color: var(--primary-text);">Stacey is launching a discounted clinic for all rehomed ex-racing Greyhounds - right here at Daybreaks Kennels! Sessions will be around 45-50 minutes long and can include physiotherapy massages, electrotherapies, along with personalised exercise programmes tailored to meet each dog's specific needs. Physiotherapy is proven to reduce joint and musculature pain.</span> <span style="color: var(--primary-text);">Give us a call or email the kennels to find out more information on how Stacey may be able to help your Greyhound and book onto the next clinic - your Greyhound will thank you later!</span> <strong style="color: var(--primary-text);">A huge thank you to Stacey!</strong> <span style="color: var(--primary-text);">Stacey is volunteering her time to treat Daybreaks hounds. Stacey started volunteering at Daybreaks when she was just 14 years old as a DoE student, she has gone on to qualify and have her own successful business. She has decided to give back to the Greyhounds that we all love so much. We are so excited to see the difference that Stacey's treatments will make!</span>

Huge thanks to everyone who came along to our Valentine Open Day & Photoshoot yesterday. It was a bit chilly but stayed dry fortunately, and a good time was had by all. Many thanks to Sharron for her excellent photos, there’s a sneak peek on our Facebook page, and our other stall holders too. I’m delighted to say the day raised the incredible sum of £1021.38 - we’re so very grateful for your generosity and support. Angie x

I took Gino to Elmdon Park yesterday and he was a pleasure to be with. He walked at a lovely pace on a slack lead the entire time. We saw a few dogs, at a distance and up close. We didn't stop to greet them, but rather carried on walking past them. Gino was happy with this. I'm already looking forward to my next walk with him :-)

Champ
I’m Fostered
Champ is a super lad, loves people and will happily lean on anyone who is near enough! He went to the park with Norman on Tuesday and had a great time. Xx He really doesn’t like kennel life. He would love a home where there is someone with him most of the time. Xxx

We remembered today our beautiful boy, Jetson, who we sadly had to say goodbye to before Christmas. We homed him on 31st January 2019. <em>Jetson, our beautiful greyhound. Six years together - relaxing on the sofa, sunbathing on the patio. You loved the quiet life we offered & we loved you so much. </em> <em>We miss you & the home feels empty without you - you filled our lives with joy & love. Run free now, Jetson, on rainbow bridge. See you soon. Love Mummy & Daddy xxxx.</em>
