January Kennel Updates

The first dog of 2015 to be homed is our very handsome Sam!  He has truly landed on his paws.  Good luck young boy.

Robbie Appeal:

Our poor Robbie has waited far too long for his forever home, could he be the greyhound for you?  With the help of the Retired Greyhound Trust we are sharing his story further afield in the hope we can find his forever home.  Please take a look at Robbie in our greyhounds for adoption gallery.

Updates from the kennels:

Little Eliza split her tail and after regular bandage changing and treatment it still did not heal so she has now had the tip of it removed, whilst it is healing she is in foster care.  Eliza is enjoying some home comforts and learning what home living is all about.  Below is big foster brother Lurch with Eliza on the right.

Rocky:

Rocky has started treatment for his very painful corn, he has now moved into foster care to help with his after-care.

Thank you:

VetVits who are part of (Healthspan) have very kindly donated a large quantity of some of their products to Greyhound Lifeline.  We would like to say a big thank you to them.  They have also given us a discount for our future orders.

Thank you to Charmaine at Beauty Within in Verwood who have very kindly displayed Aqua Jewellery in the salon throughout 2014.  She has helped raise a lot of money for our greyhounds through these sales.  A big thank you also goes out to Amy for spending her time making these pieces, with all profit being donated to the greyhounds.  If you are interested in buying some earrings for yourself or a friend please take a look at Aqua Jewellery that can be found on our merchandise page.

Available Greyhounds:

Please take a look at all the lovely greyhounds, most have updated descriptions, in our greyhounds for adoption gallery.  We have some very friendly, loving greyhounds who have waited far too long for their forever homes.  Could you give one of our hounds their dream home?

Dogs in Foster Care:

Robbie, Reggie, Misty, Eliza and Rocky are in foster care. If one of our foster dogs interests you as a potential new family member then you simply need to contact us and we’ll arrange a mutually convenient date and time for you to meet him/her.

Bedding:

We have had an overwhelming number of donations recently which means we have lots of duvets.  Thank you for the supply as we get through a lot of them.  Currently we do not need anymore duvets.  If you are having a clear out of blankets or towels we would still be very grateful for these.  In the winter months we use them as the under layer to the greyhounds beds with paper bedding on top. We would appreciate any spare blankets or towels that you may have as our stocks in these are getting low.  Thank you in advance.

Stock Appeal:

Fancy having a post Christmas clear out to make some extra room for all your new gifts? We are in need of stock suitable to sell at car boot fairs or at local fairs/events. The things we need the most are DVD’s, CD’s, children’s toys, jigsaws (adults and children’s), board games and console games.

Used Postage Stamp and Ink Cartridge Appeal:

Many of you may already know that the Retired Greyhound Trust collect used postage stamps to raise funds for the greyhounds in their care. For some of you collecting the occasional stamp here and there and finally getting around to posting a collection off may be a bit of a nuisance. We also collect old mobile phones.

Fundraise for us using eBay:

You can 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.
