The team have had a little break the last couple of weeks and have been enjoying a little bit of peace in Norfolk.
Devon and Buddy, both kennel dogs, joined Lucy on the holiday. Weather was beautiful, scenery was stunning and the break gave everyone the opportunity to reboot before the Summer Fair.
As always Devon and Buddy were superb ambassadors and were admired by everyone that saw them. They loved the beaches, especially playing in the waves and the long walks across the countryside.
Buddy who is Greyhound Lifeline’s permanent resident and part of ‘Becoming A Friend of Greyhound Lifeline’, just adored everything that he saw. Buddy’s past is rather vague and socialisation with other dogs/outings outside the home were very little. We are very pleased at the progress Buddy has made since arriving in our care and how he behaved on this holiday.

If you would like to help sponsor Buddy and become ‘A Friend of Greyhound Lifeline’ please read more on our Donate page about the scheme.
