Thank You Southampton

We had a lovely day on Saturday in Southampton Town.

The sun was shining and lots of people were in town too!

The greyhounds loved all the attention and we had plenty of people come along to chat with us.  It was lovely to meet everyone – new and familiar faces!

Over the day the team raised £813.15 which is a FANTASTIC ACHIEVEMENT.

Thank you to everyone who came along to support us and all those donations, we really do appreciate it.  Without these vital funds we wouldn’t be able to support so many greyhounds find their new homes.

New Arrivals:

Kelce and Sox.

Reserved Greyhounds:

Dog Food Donations:

If anyone is able to purchase us some Butchers Dog Tinned Meat our kennel greyhounds would be very thankful.  We would prefer the tripe mix or the meaty loaf, we ask that you do NOT purchase anything in gravy as it upsets our dog’s tummies.  Thank You.
