What an amazing day it was and the sun came out too! Thank you to all our very hard working team who have worked tirelessly throughout the weekend.
Not only did we manage to home Meerkat we raised the fantastic sum of £3410.87 with a few more donations promised, but not yet received.
Well done team and thank you to all our visitors who left with empty pockets!
This year we had a few new stalls, a live waxing and a greyhound theme cake competition that proved to be very successful.
The winning cake!
Below is a few photos from the successful day, more photos can be found on our Facebook page.
The Bonio and Spoon race.
The greyhound parade.
It was so nice to see so many homed greyhounds and friends come back to see us.
Cooling down!
Great Global Greyhound Walk:
Greyhound Lifeline invite you and your hound(s) to join us on Sunday 19th June at 10am for the Farnham, Surrey based walk of the Great Global Greyhound Walk. After the walk join us for a cup of tea/coffee and a cake. You can find out more about the greyhounds in our care, the greyhound representatives from the kennels and foster homes and spend some time with other greyhound owners.
Weather permitting stay on after the walk for a picnic.
For time, location and all other details please see the attached link and call Diane if you have any other questions.
With thanks to Waverley Borough Council for the permit to run this event and to Diane for setting it all up for us. http://www.greatglobalgreyhoundwalk.co.uk/…/farnham-surrey…/
Dog walking help needed:
We urgently need help for Fridays, Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. We walk between 11am and finish around 12.30pm. Minimum age for dog walkers is 18 years. Thank you.
Available Greyhounds:
Please take a look at all the lovely greyhounds, most have updated descriptions, in our greyhounds for adoption gallery. We have some very friendly, loving greyhounds who have waited far too long for their forever homes. Could you give one of our hounds their dream home? We still have, many long stayer greyhounds that joined us early 2015 or before this and are still looking for that special home. These dogs are Hammy, Willie, Jake, Suzi, Susie and Lyric. Please take a look at these greyhounds and hopefully 2016 will bring them homes of their own.
Homed Greyhounds:
Meerkat, Bertie, Celt and Billy.
Reserved Greyhounds:
Harry.
New arrivals:
Hope.
Little Hope
Small dog trainable greyhounds:
Minx and Hope.
Dogs in Foster Care:
Reggie, Willie, Susie, Cheetah, Billy, Minx, Harry & Suzi are in foster care. If one of our foster dogs interests you as a potential new family member then you simply need to contact us and we’ll arrange a mutually convenient date and time for you to meet him/her.
Harry has recently moved into foster care. He looks very happy, enjoying home living.
Bedding appeal:
We are rather short on blankets, towels and duvets for our kennel dogs. If you have anything suitable please bring it to the kennels. Please note we cannot use pillows or feather duvets. Thank you.
Used Postage Stamp and Ink Cartridge Appeal:
Many of you may already know that the Retired Greyhound Trust collect used postage stamps to raise funds for the greyhounds in their care. For some of you collecting the occasional stamp here and there and finally getting around to posting a collection off may be a bit of a nuisance. If you bring them along to Greyhound Lifeline we can send them off for you when we have collected a larger amount. We also collect old mobile phones.
Fundraise for us using eBay:
You can 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. Could you sell your unwanted items and help us to buy food, provide veterinary care and generally look after the greyhounds in our care at the same time.
