(new arrivals/returns will be placed at the end of the list)
(Ages are available upon request)
Boris - male greyhound
Boris 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!
Jet - male greyhound
Jet is slightly nervous until he gets to know you but we are sure he won't take long to come round. It must be very strange to change kennels so we understand he may be a bit unsure to start with. The same may apply at home, although we hope he will come out of his shell as time goes on. He is loving and friendly when he trusts you and will learn to accept other breeds quickly with the usual initial careful introductions.
Glen - male greyhound
Glen is a happy boy who loves affection. He happily shares and is confident around other greyhounds. He will be tested around other breeds as soon as possible. He looks quite small in the photo but is actually a medium-larger boy (normal greyhound size)! He walks nicely on the lead, seems fine with other breeds (with the usual careful introductions) and loves his food.
Fifi - female greyhound
Fifi is a lovely girl who quickly came out of her shell and started wagging her tail. She shares happily, walks nicely on the lead and should be fine around other breeds (given the usual careful introductions). She would be the perfect addition to most homes!
Ed - male greyhound
Ed is a friendly and handsome fellow who loves a cuddle and shares happily with female greyhounds. He will be further assessed around other breeds as soon as possible and looks like he will slot happily into any home.
Frankie - male greyhound
Roxy - female greyhound
She is good on the lead and will be further assessed. She shares happily with the other greyhounds and is a really lovely dog. She likes to tidy up around the Kennels by picking up the food bowls! She will be a really fun character to have at 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.
Sheene - male greyhound
Betsy - female greyhound
Betsy is a loving girl who shares happily and is very affectionate and friendly. She is good around most other breeds (with the usual initial care) and although slightly stronger on the lead than some, we know this will improve with regular walks. She's a super girl!
Holly - female greyhound
Loki - male greyhound
Loki is a handsome chap who should be a great addition to any home. He has been near a small dog and did well on his trip to the town. He might need a little time to gain more confidence but it didn't take him long to come round to all the staff and volunteers at Whittingham so we are sure he will adjust quickly in a home environment.
Rocky - male greyhound
Rocky is a beautiful boy who is wary of new people and can bark at visitors. However, it doesn't take him long to trust you and wag his tail so if someone is willing to give him a chance, he will turn into the most loyal and loving boy. He is clean in his kennels, enjoys his food and shouldn't be overlooked because of his initial nervousness.
Colleen - female greyhound
Colleen is a friendly little girl who is still quite puppy-like. She will be tested around other animals as soon as possible, but loves her food and is a happy girl.
Timmy - male greyhound
Timmy is a handsome boy who is getting used to everything at Whittingham and coming out of his shell. He is a little apprehensive at first but it doesn't take him long to come round.
Champ - male greyhound
Champ is a beautiful and lovingly affectionate chap who arrived looking for a home with his brother, Happy. It would be lovely to keep them together but we know this would be tough in the current climate for homing. (further information to come once we get to know him)
CHAMP AND HAPPY TOGETHER
Happy - male greyhound
Happy is a beautiful and loving boy, just like his brother. He arrived with his brother to find his home. As above, it would be lovely to keep them together but we know this will be hard with homing being difficult nationwide. (further information to come once we get to know him)
Rosie - female greyhound
Rosie is a very happy and friendly soul who really wants to play and enjoy the adventures of life. She is very excited about going on walks at the moment but she immediately calms down. She's a dear little girl who is quite dainty. She'd love a good home where she can really thrive with lots of fun.
Julietta - female greyhound
Julietta is a beautiful girl who is really gentle on the lead and did well with other breeds on her trip to the town. She is really affectionate and friendly and will make a delightful addition to any home.
Monnie - female greyhound
Monnie is a beautiful blue girl who is quite petite and really placid. She walks really well on the lead and was great on her visit to the town. She will be fine around other breeds with the usual initial care. She is loving and gentle and a dog who should slot into any home situation.
Xanadu - male greyhound
Xanadu is a happy and confident soul who would love to fall on his paws in a loving home. He shares happily with other greyhounds and was good on his walk to the town (around other breeds). He was very interested in pigeons though!! He is a loving boy who is always up at the door to say 'hello' to whoever is passing and happy to give him a stroke.
Dolly - female greyhound
Dolly is an extremely placid and beautiful dog. She has a really gentle nature, shares happily with everyone and really wants a loving home where she can be pampered as she deserves. She also did well around other breeds when she visited the town. Could you be the lucky person who adopts Dolly?
