Morris - male greyhound 

Morris is a loving boy who is quite small for a male greyhound.  He enjoys his food, is a happy boy and loves everyone!  He needs some more careful introductions to other breeds but is improving and is otherwise faultless!  He is 6yrs old, has had a couple of dentals whilst in our care and just needs a chance as our longest stay.  He loves playing with toys and enjoys a game with a ball in the paddocks. Could you help Morris find his special 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 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 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 has found a home!

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 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.

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.

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 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.    

Nick - male greyhound 

Nick shares happily with female greyhounds 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 . 

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.

Willow - female greyhound

Willow is a very petite girl who is adorably cuddly and very friendly.  She won't be homed with very young children as she can get a bit playful but she has no malice at all and is so affectionate.  Whoever adopts Willow will be very lucky indeed.  She walks well on the lead and will be tested around other breeds as soon as possible.
