PLEASE BE AWARE THAT GREYHOUND LIFELINE IS CLOSED TO MOST VISITORS, DOG WALKERS AND MOST KENNEL HANDS.

DURING THIS DIFFICULT PERIOD WE ARE STILL OPEN FOR GREYHOUND ADOPTION ENQUIRIES, VIEWINGS, HOMINGS AND THE SALE OF DOG FOOD AND GOODS.  YOU MUST PRE-BOOK BY EITHER PHONING US ON 07769348310 OR EMAILING US ON [email protected] TO BUY GOODS OR FOR VIEWINGS.

Times are changing and the world is finding new ways of still doing the same task.  Greyhound Lifeline is doing the same.  We have been altering tasks so we can still ensure all of our greyhounds remain enjoying their time with us.

Some of our longer staying greyhounds have been taken out into the ‘real world’ to start learning some of the tasks/manners that will help them find a home.

Greyhound Lifeline may be closed to most people however please rest assured that the greyhounds in our care are being well cared for and plenty of times for cuddles!

The kennel day shift has been modified for our current situation, however they will all be cleaned out, fed, groomed, exercised, being given play time with people and of course tooth cleaning too. The only thing they are going without is the same thing as us; group interaction with different people.

The small team of kennel hands, will work in isolation with a kennel manager on standby for emergencies.

You can follow Greyhound Lifeline on our Facebook Page and on this website.

We will keep you updated on all the dogs in our care, including new arrivals, everyday excitement at the kennels, in our foster homes and greyhounds that become reserved or homed.

TO BUY ITEMS FROM OUR SHOP, INCLUDING THE SALE OF DOG FOOD WE ARE ASKING YOU TO PRE-BOOK YOUR ARRIVAL, INFORM US THE ITEMS YOU REQUIRE AND PAY BY BANK TRANSFER IF POSSIBLE BEFORE ARRIVING.

PLEASE RING 07769348310 OR

EMAIL US ON [email protected].

WE WILL GIVE YOU INSTRUCTIONS ON THE PHONE TO WHAT WE ARE ASKING YOU TO DO ON ARRIVAL AT THE KENNELS.

We are very grateful for the numerous offers of help we have and continue to receive, but we do need everyone except our small team of volunteer kennel hands to stay away. This minimises the risk of infection to them and maximises the well-being of our dogs who are totally reliant on these seven people.

WE CANNOT ACCEPT ANYMORE DONATIONS OF BEDDING AT THE MOMENT, WE ARE VERY MUCH APPRECIATIVE TO THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE ALREADY DONATED.  WE WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN WE HAVE SPACE FOR MORE BEDDING.

Homings:

The lockdown has severely limited our capability to home our lovely greyhounds using our normal procedures.

If you are interested in adopting one of our hounds, please get in contact with us by either phoning – 07769348310 or by email on [email protected].

We can discuss with you, how you can move forward, with adopting one of our greyhounds. We will treat each enquiry on an individual basis and we can discuss with you different options that are available for your circumstances.

Events:

We will be in Fleet, Town Centre on the 19th September collecting.  For this event we will have restricted numbers of people and greyhounds to fit in with the Council and Government rules.  We welcome you to come and see us, but we will ask you to follow the rules set out on the day.  Donations and cuddles for the greyhounds present will be gratefully received.

Dog Donated Items:

Donated items for kennel usage will still be accepted at the kennels & will be very much appreciated.  Please phone us on the number above to arrange a drop off.  Thank you.

Toys:

During this difficult time we are busy finding new ways to entertain the greyhounds and have different activities each day.

Our greyhounds love to play with humans and with toys, you can imagine how many toys we get through!  Some of our dogs try to gain more toys in their beds by pinching a few when playing in the sand paddock.  How can you say no to this adorable face!

Fearghal has been asked by his kennel friends if he can ask for some more toys from our supporters. Please can we ask that no toy has any beans, batteries or anything hard that may come off after a greyhound has been playing with it!  The kennel hands would like to ask for non squeaky toys!

‘More Toys Please!’

If you are able to donate please email us on: [email protected] or by phone on 07769348310.
