This year has started off with a BANG!  We have seen several greyhounds find their own homes as well as some that have been reserved too!

Homed Greyhounds:

Pearl, Oompah, Serg, Holly, Crimbo and Rudee.

Reserved Greyhounds:

Tay, Scramble, Mr Comet and Mrs Comet.

Sadly Crimbo was homed at the end of January and came back within a week.  It didn’t take long for Crimbo to settle back in and start to have fun with all his toys and mates again!

Crimbo unfortunately wasn’t one of the lucky ones and his chance of home life came to a sudden cease, however despite this he has now been reserved by another family who will know, will be able to give him a lovely home.

Homings do not always work for a number of reasons, often not being the fault of the greyhound.  We will always be 100% behind any homings, giving regular support; over the phone and in person, this support lasts for the life of the dog.  This gives all adopters the reassurance that help is not too far away if it is needed.  We always love to hear the happy stories too, how they have settled in and enjoying their own homes.

This week we have welcomed in two newbies – Comet and Bert.  We have several other greyhounds joining us over the next couple of weeks so watch this space!
