(new arrivals/returns will be placed at the end of the list)

(Ages are available upon request)    

Morris - male greyhound 

Morris is a loving boy who is quite small for a male greyhound, but he is still quite strong.  This would soon improve with regular walks and once out of Kennels.  He enjoys his food, is a happy boy and loves everyone!  He needs some more careful introductions to other breeds but is otherwise faultless!  He is 6yrs old.  (Yes, we have tweaked his name by popular demand!)

Clive - male greyhound

Clive is a handsome and friendly boy who is confident and happy.  He has met a few other breeds and may need some more careful introductions but it won't take him long to realise he can interact happily around other dogs.  He is clean in his Kennel and very affectionate.  He is 4yrs old. 

 

Timmy - male greyhound

Timmy is a handsome boy who shares happily with Tess and really longs for affection and love.  He was a little apprehensive on arrival, but there is no sign of that now as he is full of confidence and always at the door looking for the next piece of excitement or to stick his head out of the door to get the attention of the next passing human!  He would love to find a home. He is 3yrs old.

Wizz - male greyhound

Wizz is a loving and happy boy who is very calm around the other greyhounds.  Wizz was fine with a small visiting dog and also did well on his trip to the town.  He is a confident and happy chap who loves company and really wants a home.  He is super affectionate and such a loving dog.  He is 4yrs old.

Danny - male greyhound

Danny is a lovely boy who is very nervous until he knows you.  This makes him quite strong on the lead.  But he will quickly come round and we did get a tail-wag after just one afternoon.  He is fine around other breeds because he is quite nervous about everything.  Update: Danny is coming round and gaining confidence.  He is fine with the staff and volunteers but may be worried around new people initially.  He is 6yrs old. Danny is currently reserved!

Harrison - male greyhound 

Harrison is a handsome boy who arrived happy and waggy!! He will be assessed around other breeds but is a confident and loving boy would love to find a loving home now he has finished his racing career.  He has met children successfully and just needs his forever home.  Harrison is currently reserved!

 

Brett - male greyhound

Brett has sadly returned after about 10 days at home.  He would love a home where he can play as he's loved his toys and got used to the home environment.  He was clean indoors and good on the lead but would suit a more active home.

May - female greyhound

May came in with Seren and also did well at her test around other breeds when she visited the town.  So with the usual careful introductions, she will be fine around other dogs.  She is a gentle and friendly girl who also shares happily with other greyhounds and is looking for a loving home.  May is a really placid girl who is clean, calm and travels well in the car.  May has found a home!

Titch - female greyhound

Titch and her sister, Belle, came into us after an urgent plea when their racing owner became ill.  They are both beautiful little souls and small.  They will be further assessed as we get to know them.  She is perfect around other breeds of dog.  Her sister has found a home so now we hope it will be her chance!  She is a little more lively than some but she's a loveable girl and we want the best of homes for her.  There is interest in Titch (pending confirmation)!

Manny - male greyhound

Manny is a lovely boy who loves everyone and adores a cuddle.  He shares happily with the female greyhounds.  He is quite bouncy but really affectionate. He is always up for saying hello to the visitors and is a happy, friendly chap.

Tilly- female greyhound

Tilly is exceptionally gentle and quite petite.  She's a really lovely girl and shares happily with other greyhounds.  She's calm and placid and will make the ideal dog at home where she can thrive.  She really needs to be homed with another dog as she is nervous on her own.  She is very loving once she knows you but the company of another dog would help her to settle at home.    

Princess - female greyhound

Princess is a lovely girl - she's friendly and confident with an affectionate character and loves the comforts of the squishy blankets!  She will be assessed around other breeds as soon as we can but she will make a great addition to a loving home.  Could you give her a place to call her own? Princess has found a home!

Dakota - female greyhound

Dakota is a loving girl who is good with other dogs (given the usual initial care) and shares happily with other greyhounds.  She has a slightly shorter tail due to a previous incident prior to arrival but this is not an issue and just gives her extra uniqueness!

Ace - male greyhound

Ace is a handsome chap who is looking for a loving home.  He had some issues with losing weight whilst racing but this was investigated thoroughly by the trainer and he is regaining the weight steadily.  He is a loving and calm boy who has been around children.  We will be assessing him around other breeds as soon as possible.  Ace has found a home!

Rocket - male lurcher

Rocket is a young lad who is a mixed breed (lurcher) and is extremely loving and friendly.  He's a powerful chap so he would need someone who could manage him... and he needs more exercise than the greyhounds.  He has been in a home so is house-trained and is used to the home environment, but he is not suitable with young children as he can jump up and be quite strong.  He would benefit from training/an activity where he can use his brain!

Magic - male greyhound 

Magic has sadly been returned.  He has lived with another greyhound and small dog but is nervous with men so would be best with a quiet household and one used to dogs with this trait.  He is a loving boy once he gets to know you but does need his own space and quiet time.  Could you help Magic get back into a loving home?  

 

Hope - female lurcher

Hope is a lovely girl who has come to us after being at risk.  She is spayed and we have started her vaccinations.  She will be ready for homing in July after her checks are completed at the vets.  She hasn't lived in a home but is clean in her kennel, good with other breeds and on the lead whilst out and about.  She is quite a 'foody' so would need separating from other dogs when fed, but she has lived with another lurcher all her life so we are confident this could be easily managed.  She is initially nervous around men so we want a very special home for this lovely girl (as we do for them all, of course)!

Des - male greyhound 

Des is a friendly and happy boy.  He is Princess' brother so we hope they will both be lucky and find good homes.  He is clean in his kennel, enjoys his treats and is a calm and laid back boy.  

Nick - male greyhound 

Nick shares happily with Plaza and is very affectionate and friendly.  He loves everyone and enjoys his food!  He's clean in his kennel and will be tested around other breeds as soon as possible . 

Plaza - female greyhound

Plaza is a loving girl who is always smiling and willing to meet new people.  She shares her kennel happily and will be introduced to other breeds as soon as possible.  Whoever adopts Plaza will be very lucky. Plaza is currently reserved!

Annie - female lurcher

Annie is such a dear little girl.  She's gentle around the other dogs and really deserves a good home.  We will introduce her to other dogs as soon as possible but she seems fine around other breeds on first impressions.  She is clean in her kennel, happy to spend time alone and is a really loving dog. There is interest in Annie (pending visit and confirmation)!

Spirit - female greyhound

Spirit is a gentle and loving girl who is quiet in the Kennels and clean.  She will be tested around other breeds as soon as possible but seems the ideal dog!
