We had a fantastic Christmas Fair, it was lovely to see so many people; new and familiar faces.
The rain did not put off our volunteers or supporters and we had lots of fun.
A big thank you to Southampton Ukulele Jam who gave us an hour of fantastic music and lots of laughs.
Over the day the team raised £1,333.94 a fantastic amount achieved. Thank you to everyone who came along to support us.
Meadows Collection:
Last Saturday some of our team were at the Meadows in Camberley collecting. Our volunteers braved the wind and although we were sheltered, it was still very cold! Our fur baby greyhounds were all wrapped up warm, with lots of layers on of course their Christmas jumpers too!
It was another lovely day, the Christmas spirit was strong with the volunteers and the public. This collection raised a further £1,086.88, we are so thrilled to have reached two very good amounts.
Thank you to everyone who continues to support our charity and our volunteers who are always willing to help.

Christmas Cards:
This year we have made our own Greyhound Christmas Cards, we are selling them at £2 a card. All photos are of our kennel dogs and recently rehomed ones too! You can purchase our Christmas Cards in person only.
Christmas Homing Dates:
Please note that the last adoption day prior to Christmas will be Saturday 7th December 2024. Normal homing’s will re-start on 1st January 2025.
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.
