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

(Ages are available upon request)     

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 and a favourite with our volunteers.  He has a few special toys that he plays with in his kennel.

 

Timmy - male greyhound

Timmy is a handsome boy who shares happily with female greyhounds 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 4yrs 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 boy with most people but sometimes shows a nervous side.  But when he knows you, he's a happy chap who loves company and really wants a home.  He is super affectionate and such a loving dog.  He is 4yrs old.

Brett - male greyhound

Brett has sadly returned after about 10 days at home.  He would love a home where he can play as he loved his toys and got used to the home environment.  He was clean indoors and good on the lead.  He is a very small male dog and looks more like a female greyhound in stature.  He really deserve a chance.  He is 5yrs old. 

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. He is 3yrs old

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! Rocket is perfect at home and just needs someone to give him a chance.  Could that be you?  There is interest in Rocket (pending confirmation)!

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?  He is 3yrs old

 

Des - male greyhound 

Des is a friendly and happy boy.  He is Princess' brother so we hope he is as lucky as her because she is thriving in her home.  He is clean in his kennel, enjoys his treats and is a calm and laid back boy. He is 3yrs old.  Update: Des went home for two nights and was totally clean, loved his toys and slept quietly through the night.  He was brought back because the other greyhound in the home was a bit nervous around him.  He will make the ideal dog for a first time adopter or anyone looking for a laid back, but playful chap!   Update 2: he is still in his home so we will wait and see how he settles further.  Des has found a home (subject to 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!  She is great with the other greyhounds and travels well in the car.  She seems the ideal first time greyhound too.  She is 3yrs old.

Spice - female greyhound

Spice is a gentle girl who just needs a little bit of time to come round to you.  Once she trusts you, she will be loving and friendly.  She will be tested around other breeds as soon as possible and deserves a loving home.  She is 3yrs old.

  

Storm - female greyhound 

Storm is a confident and friendly girl who is very enthusiastic about everything new that she is encountering.  She's quiet in the Kennel but looks forward to coming out in the paddocks or going for a walk.  She would love a home where she can play and be loved and cared for.  She will be tested around other breeds as soon as possible.  She is 2yrs old

Betsy - female greyhound

Betsy has sadly been returned.  She's a confident and happy girl who loves everyone.  She lived with another older greyhound but can be very playful so was thought to be too much for him.  She would be best suited to someone who is at home as she does like company.  She needs a garden so wouldn't be suited to a flat.  She's used to the home environment, great with children and happy to visit busy places.  She just needs the right home - could that be you?!  She is 5yrs old (nearly 6yrs).

  

Duncan - male greyhound

Duncan is a lovely boy who is confident and happy.  He has origami ears which don't seem to have a set direction!  He will be tested around other breeds as soon as possible.  He is 3yrs old (4yrs in September).  Duncan is currently reserved!

Peter - male greyhound

Peter (who could have been called Blue but we wanted to be a bit more creative) - came in with Duncan and is 4yrs old.  He is a confident and happy chap and will be tested around small dogs as soon as possible. Peter is currently reserved!

Buster - male greyhound

Buster is a really loving, thick-set boy who loves a cuddle and waited over a year to come into us as we have so many dogs on our waiting list.  He will be tested around other breeds and we will add further description as we get to know him.

Midus - male greyhound

 

Midus has sadly been in a home for 8 months but been returned.  He is perfect with small dogs, good on the lead and used to the home environment.  He will need a home without young children as he likes his own space.  So an experienced home is preferred.  He will make the ideal dog for many home situations.
