Latest Greyhound Lifeline News

New Greyhound Arrivals:

Macey and Patsy are our latest arrivals. Please visit our Greyhounds Needing Homes gallery for up to date information about all our greyhounds.

Reserved Greyhounds:

Duchess and Max

Updated Greyhound Profiles:

Parker, Lester, Billie and Pippa have updated descriptions. Lester and Parker are cat trainable. Pippa and Billie are both definitely not suited to cats. The boys are both suitable for homes without young children, but they are both happy living with other male dogs. They share a kennel with us currenty, they are great buddies and both have had home trials and are known to be good, clean and well behaved in home environments.

We don’t know why we still have these lads, they should have gone home ages ago!

New Greyhound Blog

We have a new greyhound blog on site now. John and Joan adopted Lady approximately one year ago. They have been helping Lady to write all about her experiences, the fruits of which are beginning to appear on site now. Please check regularly for updates in Lady’s Blog, there are many more parts still to be posted and we’ll upload them just as soon as possible.

Thank You Everyone !

We have so many people to thank this week that it seems more sensible to do a general thank you, rather than list people’s names and respective donations.

Large numbers of our wonderful supporters (and you know who you are) have donated funds, dog treats, toys, bedding and very saleable items recently. Some of those donations have been sizeable, but no matter how big or small we are still very grateful to you all. Donations of time are also on the increase with it seems more and more new dog walkers joining us to help out. Thank you too to those who have remembered our volunteer staff and donated chocolates and/or biscuits for us too.

The proverbial Season of Goodwill has indeed started early at Greyhound Lifeline. In a doom and gloom economic climate we are very pleased to be able to spread some good news. Thank you all for your continuing support of our work and of our greyhounds.

Festive Season Greyhound Homing

Please note that the last day for adopting greyhounds into homes where children are resident will be Sunday 4th December. Child free homes will be considered on an individual basis and at our discretion with the best interest of the greyhound foremost in our minds. Normal homing will resume on January 1st 2012.

Christmas Appeal for Lifeline’s Greyhounds

We would love to have a full treat bin and a selection for toys for all our greyhounds this Christmas. If you can add a bag of dog treats to your weekly shop, find some unwanted soft toys, balls or even actual dog toys at home then Greyhound Lifeline would love to receive them.

Let’s make this Christmas special extra for the greyhounds and hopefully the food and fun will last well into 2012. Please make your donations in person at the kennels between 11am and 1pm daily.

Christmas Fundraising for the Greyhounds

On Thursday 8th December Saara will be running a fundraising stall at Park Primary School’s Christmas Fayre, Aldershot. Full details are on our Greyhound Events page.
