The team were at Hedge End on Saturday and our greyhounds certainly drew lots of attention!
Kermit loved all the cuddles and walked his little paws off, getting them all!
Scramble and Jet just let the other greyhounds do all the work, while they snoozed the day away!
During the day the team raised £604.40 which is AMAZING!
Thank you to our volunteers and everyone who came along to support us.
Thank you to Hedge End for making us all feel so welcome too.

Christmas Fair:
We are very excited to announce our Christmas Fair is not far away now. The team are all getting ready for this big event. There will be lots to see, take part in and purchase.
We will have warm mulled wine to keep you toasty, whilst you listen to the music and watch the Best Dressed Christmas Greyhound competition and look around all our stalls.
There will be plenty to buy, stocking fillings for the humans as well as your furry friends!
We will be looking for raffle and tombola prizes for this event, if you have anything suitable we would be very thankful.
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.
