Matty, Cloud and Queenie all managed to get themselves reserved this weekend. Well done all three greyhounds. We look forward to seeing them and of course Star and George take their first steps into a new life before too long.

Please take a fresh look at our greyhound galleries. The following greyhounds have had their descriptions recently updated: Patrick, Noo Noo, DJ, Jewel, Queenie, Molly and Ginny.

New Arrivals:

Patrick and Jimi are our most recent arrivals for adoption.

Dan (on left) in his foster home. He still needs an adoptive home. Can you offer Dan a home?

Greyhounds homed in July:

Tilly and Phoebe are the two lucky greyhounds that have gone home so far this month.

Reserved Greyhounds:

Cloud, Queenie, Matty, Star and George are reserved.

Thank you:

We would like to thank everyone who has kindly donated goodies recently. We’ve had a generous selection of dog treats come in for the greyhounds to enjoy and some equally generous goodies that are suitable for our fundraising stalls. Thank you to everyone who has made a donation, as ever your generosity is quite overwhelming.

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 bric a brac stalls or even ebay.

What do we want? Anything (except for clothing and food items) that are in good condition, look as new and that are complete and not broken.  We’ve sold dogs bowls, ornaments, stair gates, gift boxed unwanted Christmas presents, board games etc). Please have a look around your home, do you have anything that you’d be willing to donate?

New Greyhound Blogs:

Jo has a new Greyhound Blog on site.

Need a greyhound to live with a cat?

We currently have three available greyhounds in residence who have passed cats tests. Lady is cat friendly, having already lived with cats for several years. Bizzle had good cat test pass and he should adapt fairly quickly to having feline house mates. Cloud passed too, but she’ll probably need someone experienced with re-training greyhounds around cats because she’s not “easy peasy” in this respect.

Open Day Photographs

Photographs from the recent kennel Open Day 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.

If you think you might be able to foster a greyhound then please read our Greyhound Fostering 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?
