Meet the lovely George

Updated greyhound descriptions:
Our toy testing results have now been added to the site for Ginny, Ash, Jet, Rosie and Cloud.
More results will be added over the coming days so please keep checking our Greyhounds Needing Homes Gallery for updates as the new arrivals and descriptions for existing greyhounds get updated fairly frequently.
Need a greyhound to live with a cat?
We currently have three greyhounds in residence who have passed cats tests. Tilly and Bizzle were both good passes and should adapt fairly quickly to having feline house mates. Cloud passed too, but she’ll probably need someone experienced with re-training greyhounds around cats because she’s not “easy peasy” in this respect.
Greyhounds and cats? Yes, it can be done. This is Lady and her feline friend.
Great British Greyhound Walk
This year’s Great British Greyhound Walk is taking place on Sunday June 24. There are many walks going on throughout the UK and more information about individual events and start times can be found on the GBGW web site. It’s a great way to raise awareness of greyhounds and to get greyhound owners together too for a social. Some of the walks are also raising funds for various rescues.
Attention Sunday Kennel Dog walkers:
Dog walkers, please be aware that on Sunday 24th June some of our kennel residents will be out with staff attending the GBGW events (see above). We won’t therefore have the usual full kennel of greyhounds for you to walk on that day.
Open Day Photographs
Photographs from the recent kennel Open Day are on site for you to view.
Jam Jar Appeal:
We need more empty jam jars with lids please. Anyone that comes to the kennels occasionally, please ask your friends and neighbours to collect them too. We are very low on 1lb jars especially. This means that Penny and Adrian won’t be able to make much more home made jams or pickles for us to sell until we get more jars for them to use.
We are also in desperate need of small items suitable as tombola prizes. Unwanted stationery, smellies, small toys etc all make good tombola prizes. No food products please.
Please also keep up the donations of all sorts of good quality, unwanted items. We can use all sorts of things in one way or another, big or small. Items may be used as raffle prizes, tombola prizes, get sold on bric a brac stalls or even get put on ebay to raise funds.
Pet Blood Bank:
Our next scheduled canine blood donor session is on Sunday September 16th. Please call Pet Blood Bank on 01509 232 222 to make an appointment for your dog to donate. Acceptance criteria apply; for more information please see our blood donation information page.

We Still Need Foster Homes – Can you help?
If you think you might be able to foster a greyhound then please read our Greyhound Fostering Information page.
Foster Dog Updates:
Phoebe is doing well in her foster home. She is beginning to learn not to fret if she’s left alone. There’s a way to go yet, but it’s positive news.
Dan is also doing very well, he can be left for reasonable periods, he’s clean in the house, very sociable with his foster brother and sister greyhounds and an all round lovely boy who is long overdue a home of his own.
Sponsored Slim:
Fiona Selby is aiming to lose 2 stone in weight and has offered to raise sponsorship for Greyhound Lifeline through her efforts. Her local Weigh Watchers group in Northamptonshire will verify whether or not she succeeds and/or how much she manages to lose.
If you’d like to offer Fiona some incentive to succeed and help raise funds for us at the same time then please email us at [email protected] giving your name and address (including postcode) and details of how much you wish to sponsor either in total and we’ll fill in the form for you.
Those of you who pay UK tax please let us know whether you agree or not to us claiming Gift Aid on on your sponsorship to increase the amount we receive at no additional cost to you.
Fundraise for us using eBay
You can now sell items on ebay and choose to donate between 10% and 100% of your sale price to Greyhound Lifeline. If you are an ebay member you could also simply donate by using your Paypal account. For ebay members only please visit their Sell for Charity page and enter “Greyhound Lifeline” in the Charity name area.
If you are a UK tax payer please also tick the Gift Aid box. Please read ebay’s terms and conditions carefully as we cannot be held responsible for any problems you may encounter.
