I’m Homed
We took this lovely girl to the dog show today and what a pleasure it was. After giving her a little assistance to get into the car she settled down straight away and enjoyed the journey. She was good and calm on the lead, she was a little baffled at first by the small dogs, she did not know what to make of them but soon got used to them and then took it all in her stride. She does give out a little growl to those dogs who upset her. Sorry Jet - you did nothing wrong! Considering this was her first trip out she was not phased by noises and accepted all the fuss given to her. We did not want to take her back to the kennels, I had a little lump in my throat having to leave her, especially when she starting crying when I left. I’m sure she it will not be long before she finds her forever home. Good luck beautiful girl. X

Luna (Wilma)
I’m Homed
We had the delight of looking after Wilma from Saturday lunchtime until Sunday teatime to give her a break from kennels and take her to the dog show. She is a bundle of fun. She loves to play with toys but especially a ball. She travels well. She wasn't by all the noises of being in a home although she was very inquisitive and being so small nearly got through the bars of the child gate! She's very intelligent working things out quickly. She seems confident enough wherever she is and she seemed to get on well with my 2 boys (5 and 2) although I think they were bewildered by her presence in the house (they'd met before at the Sheldon walk and walked well together). She was a little star at the show getting 3rd for best black bitch (the judge said she loved her little face) and 5th in the age class (the judge had a very difficult job and had us jogging around the ring several times). She said to make sure whoever homes her knows there wasn't much between 1st and 6th. She was also part of the group of Daybreaks dogs who won 2nd for best family. I was so sad and nearly tearful taking her back to kennels but there's no way we can have another houndie. She's such a sweetheart giving kisses and cuddles. In the garden when she saw me the other side of the garden she'd run up to me all happy. She does seem a happy, cheeky soul. She gives the odd grumble if she's near other dogs (including greyhounds) but she doesn't seem to mean anything by it. She was fine with my 2 unmuzzled (although we did watch them of course). She'll make someone a fantastic pet and seems to be one who could be rehomed with another dog. Good luck darling Wilma. x

Met you at the show today lola and you are a very pretty girl! You weren't impressed at my advances but once i played hard to get you realised i am a handsome boy (or so my mommy tells me, she says i am the most handsome). My mom thought you were very calm and sweet and liked a fuss. Good luck finding your forever home, hope you don't have to wait too long. Lots of love jet xxx

Tiger! This handsome boy is such a joy, he loves his cuddles and walks well on his lead. He wasnt the best with other breeds, but that will come with time. He however is perfect with all greyhounds! Girls or boys he will fit into any home. Xx

Apollo (Elmer)
I’m Homed
By lunchtime Elmer was a lot more relaxed, happy to go walking with Tui round the car park. We decided to take Elmer and our Tui to Brueton Park for a couple of hours. She coped really well with children, scooters, radio controlled cars, cyclists, ball games and was patient while we had a coffee. Got very excited at squirrels and needed firm handling but was good natured and responded well. Lovely dog and we were very proud of her today. I'm sure she'll lose the anxiety around smaller breeds of dogs in time. Couple of pictures on the Facebook page.

He he I have learnt how to open the kitchen door! The hoomans have to make sure it’s fully closed now. For all you guys who don’t know, stick your nose in the gap and push the door open! Works all the time! Barney Xx

Elmer is with us today at the Greyhound Dog Show. He was a bit bewildered at first but so was I! He's sociable, interested in everything and loves hugs. He's a good leaner, even crossing his legs to lean against you. Bundles of energy. Jumped into car boot and no problem travelling. Vocal at times like he's singing.

Willis went off to his new home today, which leaves our little Dew Drop on her own. :(( We feel she would need the company of another dog to help boost her confidence. She will be at the Dog Show tomorrow if you would like to meet her. Xxx

Willis has found himself a lovely new home. His family travelled all the way from Scotland to meet him. He has a new girlfriend to share his life with who has been very sad since she lost her Greyhound brother a few weeks ago. We were hoping to find Willis and Dewey a home together but we felt it was right to give Willis the chance of his forever home. Fingers crossed the right home for Dewey will soon come along. Xxxx

2019 Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
It was a very busy day today 🙂 Willis has found himself a great new home. His family travelled all the way from Scotland to meet him. He has a lovely new girlfriend to share his life with. :)) Xxx Topper, now called Grayson finally got to go home with Sarah and Steve. :)) In between the homings we had viewings which were very promising. Xx Jayne brought in the calendars for next year. They are fabulous! We decided it would be a fitting way to remember Sara, our lovely longtime volunteer who passed away earlier this year by celebrating her life and featuring her and her dog Louis in the calendar. I am sure she would have been so happy to see Louis on the front cover. We are so grateful to Lucy for taking all of the photographs, brilliant job! The calendar costs £10 in the large A4 format and £6 as a slimline. If you would like to purchase the calendar they are on sale at the kennels and they will be available at the Dog Show tomorrow. All proceeds will got to Daybreaks Kennels and they Greyhounds in our care. Xxx Thank you so much to everyone for your help today. Xxx
