Blacky (previously Rory) has been found after spending 4 days missing after being spooked by fireworks. Blacky is back home recovering from his ordeal. He’s rather sore and tired, but thankfully otherwise unharmed.
We would like to thank all the people who physically assisted in the search and those who also sent good wishes and helped with posters and morale boosting. We are also extremely grateful to have had Doglost to refer to for up to date information.
Blacky (previously known as Rory) has been found safe and he is now back home.

Foster Home Appeal:
We need more foster homes. Ideally we are looking for foster homes within easy traveling distance of Fleet, Wokingham, Alton or Southampton as we have trusted volunteer team members in those areas who would be able to assist with viewings if a trip to the kennels was not possible.
- Abbie an ex-foster dog has been a year in her adoptive home now. Fostering really help us know the dogs and it gives them a taste of the future. Could you do it?
We prefer foster carers who have some experience of dog ownership and training. Homes without cats and young children are especially sought because homes with young children and/or cats or inexperience dog handlers severely restrict our options of the greyhounds we could place with you.
If greyhound fostering is of interest to you, then please visit our fostering information page to see if it could be the route for you.
Lungworm can kill!
Please be aware of Lungworm, it’s a killer that many of you won’t necessarily have heard of. It is spreading fast in the UK and many dogs have already died from it. Don’t panic however as Lungworm is very easy to prevent and equally if diagnosed early it can be treated very successfully too. Late diagnosis of Lungworm does not always have a happy ending however.
The following link will take you to a Lungworm Information site. For preventative treatment of lungworm you will need to contact your vet. Treatment/prevention of Lungworm is by prescription medication only.
