We had this gorgeous boy at home with us for 2 nights, each side of me taking him to the vet's on Friday to be neutered. He is such a lovely lad, loving his fuss (and having wonderful jaw chattering at the same time),and thoroughly enjoying his walk on Thursday. He and our 3 greys settled after a few hours and were then as if they'd known each other all their lives. He learned the stairs within 12 hours of being with us but was not going to make the effort to jump in the back of the car so I got to practise my lifting technique! He is very inquisitive but once he has sniffed everything out, lies quietly and seems very content. We had a few wee accidents but as it's his first time in a house, I'm sure he'll improve with more time. He is really gorgeous and I highly recommend him 🙂

We were quite for volunteers this morning, so some dogs had walks down the lane and the more vocal residents had some fun in the run in between the bookings we had to use it. Lorna had 2 papers this morning. Skye came excitedly up the drive thinking she was going in the run, she was very disappointed to find out that that wasn't going to be the case. Jess Lorna's next booking was really not bothered when it was her turn. It was lovely to welcome Henry and Alice back after their break to study and take their A levels and GCSE exams respectively. Good luck to them with their results. We had several visitors to use the run, including the gorgeously cute little Italian greyhound Hugo. He is a bundle of fun and excitement and absolutely loves everyone he meets. You certainly get a thorough washing from him! Thank too for the donations of bedding and a dog bed. Little Betty who was sadly returned yesterday melted the hearts of a lovely couple who had been to look at a non greyhound elsewhere and decided as they were passing to just pop in and 'have a look'. They absolutely fell in love with her and reserved her. Pending a home check she will be going home very shortly, I suspect she will be well and truly spoilt. I hope this helps her previous owner to know she will be very much loved and that her stay at the kennels will hopefully be a short one. X Dewey is still very quiet, she did manage to eat a little more today, she is such a lovely hound as are all our residents, they all just need a forever home. Here's hoping for a good week ahead and more reservations and homings. It was great to see Sam and Skip this afternoon, Skip looks really well after the shock of him suffering a spinal stroke recently. You really could not tell he had been so poorly. Thanks to everyone for their help today.

I am so happy to see this beautiful girl has been reserved, sounds like she is very well behaved and has a lovely temperament, I hope her previous owners take some comfort from this, as it was clearly a choice they found difficult to make, best wishes to you all xxxx

A strange day, lots of visitors this morning but very quiet this afternoon, Just Jess and I towards the end of the day. 🙂 Managed walks this morning, but not enough of us to do walks this afternoon. 🙁 It was sad to have another returnee. Betty is a lovely girl. Do hope she will find another home as soon as possible. Xxx Our waiting list grows ever longer, we now have around 80 dogs waiting for their chance of a forever home. :(( Jess had a gorgeous Border Collie arrive for a pamper! He had a good race around the sand run first and then the bath. :)) It was nice to see some old friends today, Sue, Steve and their two lovely girls Ebony and Tessa popped in and Star came in with his Mom and Dad for nail clipping. He has been with them four years this week. :)) Xx Fingers crossed for homes for all of our current residents very soon. Xxx

Absolutely heartbreaking return our beloved Betty to the kennels today. She has been the most beautiful girl to have in our lives for the past 2 and a half years. Sadly our circumstances and home environment have changed drastically since DaveK (commenter below) and I welcomed her into our home, while she has stayed the same lovely girl all along. It has been one of the hardest decisions we have made and she will be very much missed indeed. I can’t imagine she will be back at the kennels long, she has the sweetest nature and a natural in the home environment. She is guaranteed to make her new family very happy. Love you lots Betty xxxxx

That was like us, my husband wanted a Labrador but i will only have rescue animals but the amount of red tape made it impossible and the greyhound breed was my choice and thank goodness now we have jet who couldn't be more perfect! Yes mom said it was lovely chatting to you and always comes back with pictures of the dogs to show me! Wish we could take dogs to work!xxx

Mom has disappeared! I haven’t seen her for days and days and days. TC says she’s on a ship with Auntie Deborah, Uncle Ian and cousin Samantha. Why would she want to do that? I went to look at the sea but couldn’t see her. Every day I wait for her to come home. I am following TC everywhere to make sure he doesn’t sneak off too. I hope Auntie Ruth is feeling OK and is fully recovered soon. Lubs to all. Florence xxx

Very sadly, due to a change in her owners circumstances Betty has been returned to the kennels today. She is a lovely girl, so hopefully it wont be long before she finds another home. Xxx

Hi Lucy, yes we had a great time talking about Greyhounds at Hair'em Scair'em!! It was because of my Hairdresser, Nikki that I had a Greyhound. I was desperate to have a dog but because I worked, most rescue centres said no 🙁 Nikki said had heard the Greyhound Trust would consider homing a dog to people who worked....a few months later I had my beautiful Twiggy! It was lovely to meet your Mom, our Hairdressers is really dog friendly, Chris the owner has six rescue dogs, there is always one or two of them there to cuddle while you wait to have your hair cut!! :))) Xxx

Good grief did it rain today!!??!! Not surprisingly the boys & girls didn't venture outside their comfy kennels this morning, except for some "wee" time in the feeding runs! This meant we could get on and do the health checks and weight checks, and I could continue with my blitz of the doggy kitchen! It's amazing what you find!! Fortunately the rain did stop by lunch time and it dried up quite nicely so we could get an afternoon walk done. We were very short of help today, so I had the chance to go out on the walks - something I haven't done for ages. I walked my mate Eric and the gorgeous Razzle. Eric has improved so much and very rarely pulled, except when something very interesting presented itself like a bag blowing in the wind!! Razzle walks beautifully, trotting along by your side. On the second walk I took Willis and Dewey. For a big fella, Willis walks like a dream, and little Dewey trotted alongside him all the way. She is still quite worried and is not eating well, but she seems to like the company of another dog and kept close to Willis. We didn't have one visitor today - can't say I am surprised as the weather was awful, I wouldn't go out either!! Many thanks to Bella & Chris who braved the elements to give us a hand today - we would have been lonely without you!! Another weekend is upon us, we have a roadshow at Webbs of Wychbold on both Saturday and Sunday so lets hope the weather improves a bit and encourages people to attend. There is also a viewing booked for tomorrow so fingers crossed that one of our residents will soon be displaying a red sign. It's red wine today as the weather has been so miserable, but my usual wish for homes for our boys and girls stays the same. Cheers one and all - have a great weekend. Angie xx

Dewey (Dew)

Dewey is such a lovely little girl, she is rather nervous with everything at the moment and not eating too well but hopefully she will soon settle back into the kennel environment. We have paired her up with our wonderfully gorgeous lad Willis. He has been great with her so far and she seems to like him. Anyone who has met Willis knows what a gentle giant he is....Dewey has the big bed to herself and he has the smaller raised bed! He is the perfect gentleman. They make a very handsome couple indeed. Fingers crossed they continue to get on well together. Xxx

Annie has been a little down on the dumps since her last kennel mate Blossom went off to her new home. We have paired her up with the delightful Charisma. Touch wood they seem to be getting along fine. Xxx
