Our Christmas Fair Is Getting Closer!

We are looking forward to our Christmas Fair which is on Saturday 2nd December, 10.30am – 3pm.

Please come along and support us, it is going to be a great day!

Lots of stalls, Christmas gifts available for both human and canine, warm mulled wine (non alcoholic) and homemade Christmas cakes to enjoy.

Family fun games, face painting, Christmas music and of course a raffle, all profits from the day will 100% be spent on the greyhounds in our care.

If you are able to bring along any dog treats or tinned food as an extra Christmas gift for our kennel greyhounds they would be very appreciative!

All our kennel greyhounds will be attending this event and there will be plenty of greyhound cuddles to enjoy!

COMPETITION! Best Christmas Dressed Dog will win a prize.  Show us all your canine Christmas costumes!  Registration for costumes will begin at 12pm.

Please share this event with family and friends and lets make it as busy as we can.

Christmas Fair Appeal:

We are looking for raffle prizes, tombola items – bottles, smellies, small gift items, dog items and cuddly, teddy bears.  If you can help us please get in contact.  Thank you.

Christmas Homing Dates:

Please note that the last adoption day prior to Christmas will be Saturday 9th December 2023. Normal homing’s will re-start on 1st January 2024.

Only in exceptional cases and in homes where there are no children resident will we consider relaxing this policy. The forthcoming holiday period can be a very stressful time for people and as such it is not generally a good time to bring a new dog into the home.

This decision has been made with the welfare of our greyhounds at the forefront of our minds. We hope that you understand our decision.

Viewings for greyhounds and potentially reservations will still be ongoing throughout the holiday period, so please continue to check for updates on our website.

Events News:

The team were at Winchester on Saturday 18th November and despite the weather they raised £994.75, a huge achievement!

Thank you to everyone who came along to support us and all those who donated too.  We are very grateful and so are the kennel greyhounds too!

Izzy and Yoyo – two of the super stars from the event!
