Molly has settled well in the house. She likes being near people but also happy to stay upstairs sometimes even when we’re downstairs. But when she does come down, she loves being next to us on the sofa. She still barks at running dogs on a walk but she came out with some friends and their dogs this weekend and soon got used to the Jack Russell cross madly running around, and no problem at all with the cockapoo who walked quietly with us. She was very interested in looking at other dogs but didn’t bark. We do feel that she will gradually improve with more experience of meeting other dogs. She loves her walks and eats well, gets in and out of the car easily and travels well. You really wouldn’t know that she’s just turned 10!

Mayah was an absolute pleasure to take to Elmdon Park today. She settled down immediately in the car travelling in a very relaxed manner She met a large group of dogs in a very friendly manner with no sign of any problems whatsoever. She's a very affectionate girl and at only 2 years of age hopefully will have a long happy life in her future home

Truf Truf

We have the lovely Truff Truff on foster now. She’s a delight! You almost don’t know you’ve got her. She settles well in any of the (many) dog beds around the house, clean in the house and sleeps the night through (even when I get up to let one of the others out at silly o’clock) and walks well on the lead. I took her to our greyhound walking group on Saturday and after a few small rumbles because she was initially unsure of everything she soon got in the groove and enjoyed the walk and was fine when meeting other breeds. She lay down in the cafe while we all had coffee after the walk. She’s not interested in people food and ignores us while we eat our tea off trays on our knees. Truff Truff would be an ideal first greyhound for someone (or even a first dog for anyone who hasn’t had one before). She really is a sweetie just waiting for a home of her own.

Foster update for little Joshy! We've really noticed Joshy has been really working on his confidence and trust with us these last few weeks. We havent changed our approach with him. He has started to; - go to his bed off his own accord. - allowing himself to snooze and dream. (Joshy has been waking suddenly at point of dropping off to sleep; like a hypervigilance). **We always call his name to ensure we wake him before we need to walk past him- and never touch him sleeping (as with any dog). - zooooomies!!! This little cutie greets me at the door when i/we get home, tail wagging and trots to our back door.... Then has a proper zoom around!! He loves his tennis ball too. We can spend time with him in the garden doing this instead of a walk if needed. - stairs!! Hmm... So my last update he really wasnt interested, then this last week... We hear a 'tap tap tap tap tap tap' (uncordinated as you can imagine!!) And there he is!! All chuffed with himself! He can go down too (thankfully). -night time whines have significantly decreased, he has a little whiney check in, then with our 'night joshy!' he settles!! He sleeps alone downstairs. We have worked out that *he needs a light on*. OTHER DOGS; Not sure. He has done really well with other considerate owners who approach slowly with their dog already calm and on a lead. I have my own worries / experience about dogs off lead running at me, so I have not put him in that situation, we walk another way. Joshy is interested in cats, squirrels and flitty things however doesnt pull. He does need distracting however and a 'no'. PEOPLE; The people we have met so far have all commented on what a 'friendly' 'sweet' dog he is. He sometimes employs his greyhound lean magnet too! CARE NEEDS; Josh now has 2 meals with his medication. (breakfast and evening) You do have to show and give him a piece of cheese or ham to entice him/get him started. It's like he needs that kick start to eat. It's no problem, it's just how he needs his permission. He has a pre bed night time treat (we give him peanut butter and cheese!) with his bed time medication. Then he has a bonio which he politely comes to ask for and takes it, all chuffed, to his bed!! (He's got a proper routine!! It's very sweet!) OTHER; He lets us put his harness and muzzle on; no problem. He allows us to towel dry him after a wet walk. Joshy is surprisingly fluffy!! Every other day he has a brush! He loves it so there is no problem! We are still getting to know each other. We have not seen any behavioural issues over the last 6 weeks. We allow joshy the space he needs and he has been very respectful of our house and the routine we can give him. (It is only Josh in our house; no other pets or children. Our garden is fully fenced) And thank you to Daybreaks for your continued support. x
