new arrivals/returns will be placed at the end of the list)
Arnie has sadly had to be returned and is looking for a home without any close proximity to other breeds. He is 7yrs old (in September), house-trained, good with children and a loving boy, but he is strong so will need an experienced home with someone who has had greyhounds before. He deserves another chance quickly as he has been very loved and his owner was devastated at having to bring him back.
Yogi is 3yrs old and will need a special home. He is a lovely dog, but will not be suitable for a home with young children as he likes his own space. He loves his food and is settling well at Whittingham. Yogi is very affectionate and clean in his kennel. He is slightly strong on the lead at the moment but this would quickly improve in a home setting. He needs the right home, but once this comes along, we are sure he will be great!
Kingy is a handsome chap who is happy and friendly. He is a little strong on the lead at the moment but this would subside with regular walks once in a home environment. He is clean and confident and should adjust well to home life. He is very good in the car, loves a cuddle and should thrive in a home.
Romeo is 4yrs old. He is nervous until he gets to know you but we think he will come round quickly once he settles into the rhythm of Whittingham. He is good with other greyhounds and will be fine around other breeds with the usual initial care. He looks a bit ragged on the behind unfortunately, but don't let this put you off as he will become a very loyal and loving boy once he trusts you. He has a slightly red eye but this has been seen by a specialist and he has been given the 'all clear'.
Smarty is a handsome boy who would love a new home to call his own. He is friendly and bouncy and very enthusiastic to go for walks. Could you give Smarty his forever home?
Becky is an affectionate and happy girl who is flying the flags for the girls at the moment as we have so few females! She is hoping it won't take too long to find a loving home and she will be tested around other breeds asap. She is friendly and confident and will thrive in a home environment. Becky has found a home!
Bluey is a loving chap who walks nicely on the lead. He will be tested properly around other breeds as soon as possible. He loves his food and is happy and confident. Bluey has found a home!
Lister may as well have the same tweaked write up as Tom! Lister came in with his brother, Tom. Both are 4yrs old and very gentle and placid. They are large dogs but will soon fold away once settled in the home environment. They are friendly, confident and get on well together and with other greyhounds. They should be fine around smaller breeds with initial care. They can be distinguished from each other by their number of black eyes! Lister has one black eye! They love their food and should thrive in a home!
General is a handsome, happy boy who will make an ideal dog for any home set up. He is confident and friendly and 'general'ly a lovely boy in all regards. The new arrivals are all black in colour and shouldn't be overlooked because they are all appear the same. Their unique characters will shine through in the home environment. General has found a home!
Junior is another newbie who is modelling a pink coat in this photo! He is small for a boy and enjoys his walks. He is passive around the other greyhounds and was very good when he was tested with other breeds. He is playful and fun loving and gives a big toothy grin when you get him in from the paddock. He would love a new home so he doesn't have to spend too long waiting in kennels and can get on with enjoying life in the big wide world! Junior has found a home!
Lulu is a gentle and friendly girl who walks nicely on the lead and is very happy and confident. She will thrive in any home and will be tested around smaller animals as soon as possible. Could you give the lovely Lulu a chance. She'll celebrate and it'll make her want to shout! (get it!?) Lulu has found a home!
Pearl is a petite young lady and is a little nervous of new people, but really wants to be friendly as she wags her tail when she sees you. She will be tested around other animals as soon as possible and is a beautiful little soul who shouldn't be overlooked just because she might need a little longer to be won over. Pearl has found a home!
Queen is a beautifully gentle girl who loves everyone and is playful and happy. She walks nicely on the lead and was good around smaller breeds during her trip to the town. Queen has found a home!
Dougie is 4yrs old and a smaller boy who loves his food and a cuddle. He was a little camera shy so this is the best photo following numerous attempts! He will be tested around smaller dogs as soon as possible and was happy to settle into the routine at Whittingham.
Amelia is 5yrs old and has sadly had to be returned. She is house-trained, very affectionate and loving, but would be better as an only dog and without young children. She is friendly and used to the home environment so it would be lovely if she could find another home quickly without having to wait too long in kennels.
Tully is a handsome blue dog who has sadly been returned. He would prefer a quiet home without young children where he can have his own space. He is happy to be on his own and enjoys his walks. He is used to the home environment so is hoping he won't have to spend too long in kennels until his perfect home comes along. Tully has found a home!
Geoff is a lovely boy who is nervous until he gets to know you. He will need someone with patience who can offer him reassurance as he settles to home life, although we are confident he will come round quickly. He enjoys his food and will be taken for walks to increase his confidence. Could you offer Geoff the kind home he needs?
Milly is a beautiful and friendly girl who is quite large for a girl, but it is just to contain her loving personality! She is intrigued by everything and will be tested around other breeds as soon as possible. She is always up at the door looking for a cuddle and will be the ideal dog for most home situations.
Tiger is a handsome and cuddly fellow who is friendly and happy and wolfed down an entire bowl of food upon arriving with us. He will happily share with a female greyhound, is quiet and placid as well as confident and outgoing. He will be tested around other breeds as soon as possible. There is interest in Tiger (pending confirmation!)
Shane has sadly been returned. He has lived in a home for two months so is house trained and used to the home environment. He would prefer to be in a home without young children as he likes his own space, but is otherwise a very affectionate and loving boy. He is manageable around smaller breeds but will need a few careful introductions. When we can start homing again, Shane hopes someone will give him his chance!
