Recently our lovely boy Dan made it into the National press by appearing in an article in the Daily Telegraph. Let’s hope that this feature generates some interest in Dan and that he’ll be lucky enough to find his forever home from it. You can see Dan by visiting The Daily Telegraph Online. His lovely photo is obvious, but the written piece can be found under the “Rescue Pet of the Week” section of the page.

Au Revoir Emily and Welcome to Greyhound Lifeline Mandy:

Last week we said goodbye to Emily who can no longer do her Thursday morning shift with us.  She still does an evening feed, but kennel life will be a little different without her and she’ll be missed by staff and walkers alike. Our kennel yard too will never be so pristine again as Emily seemed to have OCD of the yard broom and needless to say none of us complained about her compulsive sweeping up!  We wish Emily every success in her future career as a veterinary nurse.

We are very pleased to welcome Mandy to our team. Mandy is Emily’s replacement for Thursday mornings and she’s already proving to be a very capable and a sociable member of our team. More information about Mandy will appear on our Greyhound Lifeline Team page before too long and we’ll update the rest of the page at the same time. We don’t want to scare Mandy off, so please don’t tell her we’ll need her “mug shot” just yet!

Matty is still waiting for his home offer. He's a firm favorite with staff and walkers alike, a stunning, gentle giant who just wants someone to share a sofa with.

Stock Needed:

With the summer show, fair and fete season upon us we are still in desperate need of all sorts of saleable items to stock our various fundraising stalls.

We need small items suitable as tombola prizes (e.g., stationery, smellies, small toys), larger items are also desperately needed to sell on car boot stalls, bric a brac stalls or even ebay.

What do we want? Anything (except for clothing, food items, audio tapes and video tapes) that is in good condition, looks as new and that is complete and not broken.  We’ve sold dogs bowls, ornaments, stair gates, gift boxed unwanted Christmas presents, board games etc, books, DVDs, CDs, art supplies, kitchen items and all sorts of other things too). Please have a look around your home, do you have anything that you’d be willing to donate?

Open Day Photographs:

Photographs from our Kennel Open Day in May are on site for you to view.

Jam Jar Appeal:

We need more empty jam jars with lids please. Anyone that comes to the kennels occasionally, please ask your friends and neighbours to collect them too. We are very low on 1lb jars especially. This means that Penny and Adrian won’t be able to make much more home made jams or pickles for us to sell until we get more jars for them to use.

Pet Blood Bank:

Our next scheduled canine blood donor session is on Sunday September 16th. Please call Pet Blood Bank on 01509 232 222 to make an appointment for your dog to donate. Acceptance criteria apply; for more information please see our blood donation information page.

Sponsored Slim:

Fiona Selby is aiming to lose 2 stone in weight and has offered to raise sponsorship for Greyhound Lifeline through her efforts. Her local Weigh Watchers group in Northamptonshire will verify whether or not she succeeds and/or how much she manages to lose.

If you’d like to offer Fiona some incentive to succeed and help raise funds for us at the same time then please email us at [email protected] giving your name and address (including postcode) and details of how much you wish to sponsor either in total and we’ll fill in the form for you.

Those of you who pay UK tax please let us know whether you agree or not to us claiming Gift Aid on on your sponsorship to increase the amount we receive at no additional cost to you.

Fundraise for us using eBay

You can now sell items on ebay and choose to donate between 10% and 100% of your sale price to Greyhound Lifeline. If you are an ebay member you could also simply donate by using your Paypal account. For ebay members only please visit their Sell for Charity page and enter “Greyhound Lifeline” in the Charity name area.

If you are a UK tax payer please also tick the Gift Aid box. Please read ebay’s terms and conditions carefully as we cannot be held responsible for any problems you may encounter. Could you sell your unwanted items and help us to buy food, provide veterinary care and generally look after the greyhounds in our care at the same time?
