We are very pleased to welcome our latest arrivals. They are: Vincent a tall, gentle giant of a black male. Tia a small and lively, young brindle girl and Roger who is a petite, brindle male with very unusual markings. Brief details and photos of the 3 new greyhound can be found alongside information about all our other available greyhounds in our Greyhounds Needing Homes Gallery.

Vincent, one of our new arrivals. A gentle giant of a lad.

We expect to welcome an older lad of 9 years old this weekend. He will be going into a foster home when he arrives since he is used to living in a home environment. More information to follow once he comes in.

Homed Greyhounds:

Minty, Ryder, Raquel, Poppy (previously Isla) and Tilly have been homed.

Reserved Greyhounds:

Sparky and Rosa are reserved.

Greyhounds in foster care:

Niki and Jet are in foster care. If one of our foster dogs interests you as a potential new family member then you simply need to call us and we’ll arrange a mutually convenient date and time for you to meet him/her.

Tia our two year old new girl who is in kennels near Fleet, Hampshire.

Thank you:

Our thanks go to Puppy Love for their donation of £130.30 received recently. Puppy love kindly split the takings from their Bank Holiday Monday Dog Show in Aldershot between several charities. We are very grateful for their support.

We also wish to thank our generous supporters for their donations of dog treats. We have full treat bins again and happy residents who try their luck at helping themselves from time to time!

Urgent Appeal for Items to Sell to raise funds:

Please have a look around your home, ask your friends and work colleagues too perhaps to see if there are any unwanted items around. We’d be happy to help re-home them and raise funds to support the greyhounds in our care by doing so.

We can collect from the Fleet, Hampshire and the Wokingham area in Berkshire, possibly other areas too by prior arrangement. Alternatively you could bring the items to our kennels between 11am and 1pm daily.

We are particularly keen to receive donations of children’s toys and games, toy cars, fishing equipment, war memorabilia, unwanted Christmas themed items, kitchen equipment, costume jewelery, DVD & CD’s (but not video tapes please), dog coats, toys and chews of all sizes and styles and anything else you can think of except clothing that could be saleable.

Ideally we are looking for items that can be transported easily by car. If you have larger items and wish to raise funds for us then you can always sell them on ebay (see the “fundraise for us using ebay” section below for more information).

Foster Home Appeal:

We need more foster homes. Ideally we are looking for foster homes within easy traveling distance of Fleet, Wokingham, Alton or Southampton as we have trusted volunteer team members in those areas who would be able to assist with viewings if a trip to the kennels was not possible.

Abbie an ex-foster dog has been a year in her adoptive home now. Fostering really help us know the dogs and it gives them a taste of the future. Could you do it?

We prefer foster carers who have some experience of dog ownership and training. Homes without cats and young children are especially sought because homes with young children and/or cats or inexperience dog handlers severely restrict our options of the greyhounds we could place with you.

If greyhound fostering is of interest to you, then please visit our fostering information page to see if it could be the route for you.

Lungworm can kill!

Please be aware of Lungworm, it’s a killer that many of you won’t necessarily have heard of. It is spreading fast in the UK and many dogs have already died from it. Don’t panic however as Lungworm is very easy to prevent and equally if diagnosed early it can be treated very successfully too. Late diagnosis of Lungworm does not always have a happy ending however.

The following link will take you to a Lungworm Information site. For preventative treatment of lungworm you will need to contact your vet. Treatment/prevention of  Lungworm is by prescription medication only.

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?
