Event News:

This weekend we were at Haskins raising funds for our kennel greyhounds.  The team worked hard and lots of lovely people donated and stopped for a chat.

They raised £425.34, which is a fabulous amount.

Thank you to everyone who donated money, dog food and two lovely dog beds too!

Julie, one of our volunteers, held her Table Top Sale at Titchfield Village Hall.  It was lovely seeing everyone who attended and all those greyhound faces too!

Her team worked flat out all day and we are very thankful for them!

They raised £595 which is AMAZING and I am told the BEST SALE yet!

We are so grateful for all our volunteers, in all of their roles, without so many people we wouldn’t be able to do the work that we do and help so many greyhounds who pass through our care.  Thank you to everyone who comes along to our events too.

Reserved greyhounds:

Manny, Elrond and Gwen.

Dog Food Donations:

If anyone is able to purchase us some Butchers Dog Tinned Meat our kennel greyhounds would be very thankful.  We would prefer the tripe mix or the meaty loaf, we ask that you do NOT purchase anything in gravy as it upsets our dog’s tummies.  Thank You.
