What a busy weekend we have had!!  Some very good news to be shared.

Robbie had a very big day today, he met his new family and ‘Patty’ the greyhound, previously homed by us.  Both greyhounds had a lovely time in our paddock and everyone fell in love with him.  We are delighted at this news, Robbie has waited a very long time for his own home.  He travelled home to Somerset with them this afternoon and now officially has his forever home.

Updates from the kennels:

Little Eliza who has received treatment for a poorly tail, is on the mends she is enjoying some home comforts and learning what home living is all about.  Below is big foster brother Lurch with Eliza on the right.  Please view her updated description, maybe she could be the young lady that you’ve been looking for?

Rocky:

Rocky has now finished his first part of his corn treatment, he no longer has to wear his special boot but has ointment applied several times a day to continue his treatment.  Please view Rocky on our adoption pages for more information about him. He has settled into home life very well and is enjoying his home comforts.

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:

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.
