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



Frankie
is a lovely boy who is good on the lead and has so far proven good around other breeds of all sizes.  He can be nervous until he gets to know you and so would be best not homed with young children.  He is clean in his kennel and adjusted to life at Whittingham quickly (so we are sure the same will prove correct once he goes into a home environment).








Shirley - female greyhound

Shirley is a lovely girl who is looking to fall on her paws in a loving home.  She shares happily with other greyhounds and is delicate when taking treats.  She should be fine around other breeds with initial care and is a confident and happy girl.















Finn - male greyhound 

Finn is a dear boy who needed to gain some weight when he first arrived, but is otherwise in good condition.  We took him in after he could no longer stay in his previous home, but he did not come from us originally.  He should, therefore, be house-trained, used to the home environment and generally calm in the home.  He is affectionate and friendly, but also quite reserved.  He is very good around other breeds with the usual initial care and very affectionate.  He walks nicely on the lead and has regained the weight (since this photo was taken and since he arrived).  He really deserves a loving home.









Storm - male greyhound 

Storm is a chunky, handsome chap who seems extremely affectionate and ready to start his new life.  He has been in holding Kennels for a while so is really keen to find himself a loving family and place on a sofa.  He will be tested around other breeds as soon as possible but initial signs are good.  He also shares happily with other greyhounds.












Roxy - female greyhound

Roxy is a gentle and confident girl with a very pink nose!
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. Clive has found a home!













Sheene - male greyhound

Sheene is a handsome and very gentle boy who just wanted a cuddle when he was having his photograph taken.  He seems a very docile and calm fellow who would love to fall on his paws in a special home.  Could you be the lucky one to adopt Sheene? 














Rose - female greyhound

Rose is another dear little soul who wants nothing but love and affection.  She will make the perfect addition to any home.  She loves her food and should be fine with other breeds with the usual careful introductions.  She shares happily with other greyhounds and is spotlessly clean in her kennel.  Rose has found a home!














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!









Monty - male greyhound

Monty is a handsome and solid boy who is the sister of our other current resident, Roxy.  He did well on his visit down to the town and saw a lot of other breeds.  He would make a great addition to any home.  His original name was 'money' but we have tweaked this a little to make it more sensible!! Could you offer Monty a special home?












  

Emily - female greyhound

Emily is a lovely little girl who has been in a home and is therefore used to the home environment and house-trained.  She is good with other breeds and walks nicely on the lead.  She came from a 'pet' home after being homed directly from the trainer and so we didn't know her before she was homed.  However, upon investigating her identity, we discovered she is actually our own long-stay, Jack's direct litter sister!  She even looks like Jack!   We would love to get her back into a home quickly. Emily is currently reserved (pending confirmation and visit).










Holly - female greyhound

Holly is a petite lady who is good on the lead and will be assessed around other breeds.  She is clean in her kennel, happy to meet new people and a lovely girl.



















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.














Woody - male greyhound 
 
Woody is a handsome and gentle soul who walks nicely on the lead and is good with everyone. He is spotlessly clean in his kennel, quiet and happy and would make a great addition to any home.















Andy - male greyhound

Andy is a happy and handsome hound who loves everyone and walks nicely on the lead.  He is extremely affectionate and knows his name!  He should be fine around smaller breeds after a few careful introductions.  He is clean and friendly and just a super boy! 



















Carol - female greyhound

Carol is such a dear little soul.  She is really affectionate and likes nothing more than to be up at the door seeking out who is passing by.  She didn't like being tied to the wall for the photo as she wanted to keep coming over for a cuddle!  













Pam - female greyhound

Pam is a lovely girl who is really affectionate.  (further description to come)!













Kiki - female greyhound

Kiki is a beautifully affectionate little soul who is fine around other breeds (with the usual care) and loves everyone.  (further description to come)!















New girl - 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.  (further description to come)!















New boy - male greyhound
