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

 

 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 4yrs old Manny is currently reserved!

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. Update: Magic is a little temperamental with people he doesn't know so we will only be homing him with someone who he knows/can take on this odd trait.  It is so unusual for greyhounds so he will have to go to the right home. Could you help Magic get back into a loving home?  He is 3yrs old

 

Carl - male greyhound

Carl is 4yrs old and a handsome chap who is really relishing all the new experiences.  He joined a group walk, is loving meeting our visitors and has met a whippet.  He's slightly strong on the lead but very manageable and would love a new home where he can enjoy the adventures of life beyond kennels.  Carl's only requirement is that he will need further socialising around other breeds.  He can be strong if he wants to investigate other dogs so really needs an experienced adopter.

Aaron - male greyhound

Aaron is a happy and confident boy who shares happily with Aoife.  He should be fine around other breeds with initial careful introduction.  He is clean in his kennel and very loving. He is 4yrs old.  Aaron is currently reserved!

Aoife - female greyhound

Aoife is a lovely girl who is very cuddly and affectionate.  She shares happily with other greyhounds and really deserves the chance of a loving home.  She is quiet and calm and a really easy member of the Kennel community.  She has just turned 5yrs old. Aoife is currently reserved!

Coco - male greyhound 

Coco is a loving boy who is a little apprehensive until he knows you.  He's good around other greyhounds and should be fine around smaller dogs with initial care.  He deserves a loving home as he's been waiting a while for a space.  Coco is 5yrs old.  

Harry (was Harrison) - male greyhound

Harry has sadly been returned. He is affectionate and used to the home environment.  He is clean, good on the lead and getting used to other breeds. Could you help him get back into a loving home and find his special place?  He is 5yrs old.

Bertie - male lurcher 

Bertie is a confident and affectionate little soul who would love a special home.  We were asked to take him in after he served his time after being found as a stray.  He is neutered and vaccinated and spotlessly clean in his kennel.  He will be playful and is good with other breeds.  He is estimated to be about 2yrs old. 

Annie - female greyhound 

Annie is 4yrs old.  She is a dear little soul, confident and happy.  She deserves the best home.  She proved fine around other breeds on her test to the town and is calm and quiet in the car as well.  Annie is perfect with other breeds and had a home for a week with a tiny dog.  She was sadly returned through no fault of her own much to the sadness of her adopters.  She was clean, confident and quiet and such a loving girl. Annie has found a home!

Rocky - male greyhound

Rocky is a lovely, gentle boy.  He is good around the other greyhounds and although slightly apprehensive until he gets to know you, quickly comes round and wags his tail.  He would love a special home where he can thrive beyond kennels and enjoy the affection he craves. He is 4yrs old. 

Ranger- male greyhound 

Ranger is 6yrs old.  He is so loving and affectionate and will love home life where he can enjoy adventures beyond kennels and be pampered as he deserves.  He has been waiting a little while for a space so really deserves a home. Ranger will be fine around other breeds with the usual care.  He walks really well on the lead and is so gentle.  Ranger is currently reserved!

Legend - male greyhound

Legend is 6yrs old.  He looks much older (but he says the grey is just wisdom so don't judge him!).  He is a loving and happy boy who just wants to be loved.  He shares happily with the female greyhounds and should be fine around smaller breeds with the usual careful introduction.

 

Shine - male greyhound 

Shine is 5yrs old.  He is friendly and confident and walks nicely on the lead.  He is a big dog but this just makes room for the big amount of love he has to give!  

Riley - male greyhound 

Riley is 5yrs old.  He is confident and friendly and will be tested around other breeds as soon as possible.  He walks nicely on the lead and is very affectionate without being pushy.   

Pickles - female greyhound

Pickles was not originally homed by us but needed somewhere to go when her adopter became too unwell to care for her.  She is 8yrs old (9yrs in February).  She has been a home for 4yrs so is house-trained, used to the home environment and adjusted to home life.  She will need a dental before being rehomed again but she will make the perfect addition to any home.  She is gentle, loving and affectionate and loves her toys and comfy bed.  Could you help Pickles get back into a loving home? Pickles is currently reserved!

Chance - female greyhound

Chance is a 4yr old girl who came into Whittingham with her sister, Heidi.  They are both confident and loving girls.  They haven't been in a home before but are affectionate and gentle so we are sure it won't take them long to settle at home.  They have encountered other breeds whilst with their trainer and are enthusiastic to meet new people with waggy tails.  Whoever adopts one (or both) will be very lucky!  They are very similar in temperament and size but Chance is distinguished by a white splodge marking on her side! Chance and Heidi are currently reserved!

 

Heidi - female greyhound

Heidi is a 4yr old girl who came into Whittingham with her sister, Chance.  They are both confident and loving girls.  They haven't been in a home before but are affectionate and gentle so we are sure it won't take them long to settle at home.  They have encountered other breeds whilst with their trainer and are enthusiastic to meet new people with waggy tails.  Whoever adopts one (or both) will be very lucky!  Heidi and Chance are currently reserved!

Gypsy - female greyhound

Gypsy is 3yrs old (4 in March).  She is confident and friendly.  She would love a kind home where she can thrive away from Kennels and enjoy the adventures of life.  She has encountered other breeds in her trainer's kennel so should have a head-start with other breeds (but we would always stress careful introductions when away from the Kennels).  She will make a lovely addition to a home. She walks nicely on the lead and is very loving.

Flash - male greyhound 

Flash is 3yrs old.  He is house-trained and has met other breeds so should slot into a home situation quickly.  He will be further assessed as we get to know him. Flash has spent some times indoors after his racing career prior to coming to Whittingham and was found to be clean, relaxed and calm.  Flash has found a home!

Max - male greyhound

Max is 4yrs old.  He is loving and friendly, but may need some work around other breeds when they are running loose.  We will assess him further as we get to know him.  Max is currently reserved!  

Lily - female greyhound 

Lily is a lovely girl who has been waiting in Kennels for many years.  She will soon be 8yrs old so really deserves a loving home.  She is slightly grey but don't let that put you off.  She's got the most gentle and loving soul and is such a beautiful dog.  She deserves the best of homes and is clean in her kennel.

Ginie - female greyhound 

Ginie is an affectionate and confident girl who came in with Penny and Lily. She walks nicely on the lead, is happy to greet people and will make a great addition to any home.  

Penny - female greyhound 

Penny is a gentle girl who is slightly more apprehensive than Lily and Ginie (who she came in with).  She will make a fantastic addition to the home as when she trusts you, she will be even more loving.  She wags her tail to greet people but just needs a bit more time to warm up.  She will come round quickly and walks really nicely on the lead.  She is clean in her kennel and enjoys her food.

Bruno - male greyhound

Bruno is a handsome boy who is good with other greyhounds and will be tested with other breeds as soon as possible.  (Further description to come)!

We also have Pablo who needs a special home.  He is good with other breeds and other greyhounds but needs his own space when in his bed.
