Easter Is Fast Approaching!

Not long now until Easter Sunday!

I’m sure you’re greyhound(s) are all looking forward to their Easter treats, please be mindful of all the extra chocolate that you may have in your home and keep it away from your furry friends.

We are hosting our Easter Walk, Picnic and Easter Raffle this year on Easter Monday.  We are hoping for some dry weather so we can all enjoy the walk and picnic afterwards!  The Easter raffle will of course have chocolate items for the humans but we will also have some Easter doggie treats for all the greyhounds that attend too.

We look forward to seeing you all at our Easter Walk, please do get in contact if you need any further information about the event.

Walking Our Kennel Greyhounds:

If you would like to help walk our kennel greyhounds, please get in contact, we are always looking for new volunteers to help us and the greyhounds certainly enjoy their 1:1 attention.  All walks are local to Southampton and take place within a group situation.
