Adopted Greyhounds – November
Crash, Jonnie and Zoe have been adopted during November.
Reserved Greyhounds:
Molly, Ginny, Poppy and Rita are reserved.
New Greyhound Arrivals:
Sonny and Josie are our latest arrivals. Two further greyhounds are expected 30/11/12. Please see our Greyhounds Needing Homes Gallery for details of all our available greyhounds.
Please consider Noo Noo for adoption. He’s a very lovable, fun boy who is being overlooked for adoption.
Holiday Season Homing Dates:
Please note that in the best interest of our greyhounds and to prevent the “dog for Christmas” scenario Greyhound Lifeline will not allow any greyhound adoptions to families with children in residence from Sunday December 9th through to Monday December 31st inclusive. The last homing day before New Year will therefore be Saturday December 8th. Normal homing will re-commence from New Years Day.
Christmas and New Year are particularly busy and stressful times for many families and it is therefore an especially poor time for most to bring a new dog into the home. In the case of homes where children are not resident we will view each case on it’s own merits with the best interest of the dog as the only criteria for a decision to be made. In exceptional circumstances we may, possibly therefore allow an adoption to proceed between these dates.
Please rest assured that we will still welcome viewings and reservations as normal throughout the holiday period with a view to adoption dates being set for 1st January 2013 or shortly there after. Home checks and adoption enquiries will also continue as normal.
Christmas and New Year Kennel Opening Hours:
Our Christmas and New Year opening hours will be the same as for every other day of the year that is from11am until 1pm daily.
Volunteer dog walkers (adults) are welcome every day – please however try to arrive at 11am for walking since late arrivals may find that there are no dogs left to exercise!
Please also note that due to a change in the terms and conditions of our insurance we cannot accept any volunteers or visitors under the age of 16 years without a parent or guardian supervising them at all times. Children aged 16 and 17 years old may be accepted on site unaccompanied by prior agreement only and once a signed parental consent form has been received by us.
New Greyhound Arrivals:
Sonny and Josie are our latest arrivals. Sonny is not available for adoption at this time however as he needs to gain in confidence before being made available. Please see our Greyhounds Needing Homes Gallery for details of all our greyhounds.
Pet Blood Bank
Sunday December 9th is the date of our next scheduled Canine Blood Donor session. Those of you who have already booked an appointment thank you, you are lifesavers! There may be just a few appointments left, due to cancellations etc so if you are free and your dog qualifies as a donor then please give Pet Blood Bank a call on 01509 232222. Full information about what to expect can be found on our Pet Blood Bank Information page.
Christmas Appeal:
Are you able to buy a small extra present this Christmas? If you are then our kennel residents would love to receive some more dog treats. They get through them at an amazing rate! All dog treats are most welcome (although preferably not dog chocs mind as many hounds won’t eat them and they are fiddly to handle for our frozen fingered staff too).
This appeal is going well, thank you to everyone who has so far donated, the hounds now have a good starting pile of threats that ought to see them through to the New Year. More donations very welcome however as the dogs do like their treats.
We Need Foster Homes – Can you help?
If you think you might be able to foster a greyhound then please read our Greyhound Fostering Information page.
Niki just one of our greyhounds in foster care still needs an adoptive home to call her own.
