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!)

Ed - male greyhound

Ed is a friendly and handsome fellow who loves a cuddle and shares happily with female greyhounds.  He needs some careful introduction to smaller breeds, but is fine with lurchers and bigger dogs.  He is a really laid back chap and will slot happily into any home.  He is 5yrs old.  Ed has found a home!

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.

Sheene - male greyhound

Sheene is a handsome and very gentle boy who just wanted a cuddle when he was having his photograph taken.  He is a very docile and calm fellow who would love to fall on his paws in a special home.  He may need some mores socialisation around other breeds.  Could you be the lucky one to adopt Sheene?    He is 6yrs 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.

Tess - female greyhound

Tess and her sister, Peggy have come in to find their homes.  Peggy has found a home, but Tess is still with us.  She's a dear little soul, gentle and loving and will be a very special girl in the right home.  She may need some more interactions with other breeds to get used to them, but this should not take long.  She has had a dental so has nice fresh breath too! She is 6yrs old.

Holly - female greyhound

Holly is a confident and happy girl who loves everyone and would really like a new home she can be pampered as she deserves and enjoy adventures beyond kennels.  She is friendly with all the other greyhounds and will be tested around smaller dogs as soon as possible.  She is 4yrs old.

Will - male greyhound

Will was quite nervous and worried when he arrived, but we are sure he will come round when he trusts everyone and adjusts to life at Whittingham.  Will did well on his trip to the town where he encountered other breeds without issue.  He will be worried by unknown people but once he adjusts to the world and looks to you for reassurance, he will be the most loyal dog.  He is 4yrs old. (Will needs an operation so is not currently available for homing).

Lance - male greyhound

Lance is a super boy in immaculate condition on arrival and really loving and friendly.  He wants to love and be loved and is so affectionate.  He is fine around other breeds and is a very placid and calm boy.  Whoever adopts Lance will be very lucky indeed.  Lance has found a home!

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.

Annie - female greyhound

Annie is a confident and happy girl.  She walks nicely on the lead and should be fine around other breeds with initial careful introduction.  She is really loving and just wants to nuzzle into you with affection. She is 4yrs old.

Nidge - male greyhound

Nidge is 7yrs old and sadly been returned after 3.5yrs at home.  He is affectionate and confident.  He is house-trained and used to the home environment but won't be homed with young children as he likes his own space.  He only has four teeth after a major dental but this doesn't affect him and he can still eat well, with food slightly softened for him.  

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.

Sasha - female greyhound

Sasha is a confident and happy soul who ate a whole bowl of food on arrival and wanted to get to know everyone as quickly as possible!  She's very loving and will thrive in a new home where she can experience adventures beyond kennels.  She is fine around other breeds with the usual careful introductions.  She is 3yrs old. Sasha is currently reserved! 

Lucky - female greyhound

Lucky is a friendly and loving dog who would love a loving home.  She is friendly with other greyhounds, getting used to the routine quickly.  She should not be overlooked as another black greyhound - they are all unique and special! She will be a great addition to any home.  She is 4yrs old. 

Prince - male greyhound

Prince is a loving chap who is happy around other greyhounds and walks nicely on the lead.  He is an unusual looking boy who deserves a loving home.  He is 3yrs old.

Brett - male greyhound

Brett is a smaller boy who walks nicely on the lead and is very loving.  He would love to find a loving home as soon as possible.  He is 5yrs old.

Magic - male greyhound

Magic is 3yrs old and a lovely, gentle boy.  He has been happy and friendly with us but has previously been nervous so may require some understanding on this with new visitors.  He is the brother of Loki (who we have already rehomed).  He at all his food on arrival and has met a small dog, with whom he interacted very successfully.  So he is likely to be fine around other breeds with initial care.  He walks nicely on the lead too! Magic is currently reserved!

Rocky - male greyhound

Rocky is a super affectionate chap who loves a cuddle.  He will roll over on request to have his tummy rubbed!  Rocky is currently reserved!

Rocky loves a tummy rub!
