Please come along and join us on Sunday June 2nd for our annual Kennel Open Day. It’s on from 11am until 2pm and we have lots of stalls and attractions for you which include The Homeless Hound Parade, competitons and silly races like the ever popular Bonio and Spoon race. We’ll have a raffle, tombola, refreshments, home made goodies for you to buy, a plant stall so you can stock up on your hanging baskets etc.
Lynn Byfield, Hart District Council’s Dog Warden will be talking about Dogs and the law and she’ll also be offering a free micro chipping service for dogs on the day. We’ll be welcoming K9 Matters dog behaviourists, Wagging Tails home dog boarding and we’ll probably have a few other little surprise stalls for you as well.

Greyhounds in foster care:
Teasel, Niki, Jet, Ash and Isla are all in foster care. If one of our foster dogs interests you as a potential new family member then you simply need to call us and we’ll arrange a mutually convenient date and time for you to meet up.
How can you resist the lovely Jet? They don’t come much more chilled out than this boy when it’s snooze time. Please consider adopting Jet, he’s waited far too long.
New Arrivals:
Manni and Tilly joined us recently to look for adoptive homes.
New Photographs:
Bobby now has much more flattering photos on site and our Ellie does as well.
This is the very handsome Bobby. One day we hope to capture Bobby’s “Greyhound Grin” on camera. He grins an awful lot!

Don’t let Lungworm kill your dog!
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.
