Abbie is a beautiful black greyhound who was found as a stray with her brother Scott. Their details have been traced by their ear tattoos. Their breeder sold them, but does have a record of who he sold them to. It is believed that they were then used for either racing or coursing, and it is likely have been dumped because they are not interested in chasing. They are quite small greyhounds who are brother and sister, and they were born on 17 April 2005. Scott and Abbie are beautiful, very friendly, gentle dogs who need, and deserve, to find a loving home. They can be re-homed together or separately. They look almost identical to each other.

This beautiful girl is Bessie and she is looking for a new home. These are her owner's words. "She is very friendly and gentle and fully house trained, however she is becoming quite nervous in the company of our three year old little girl and recently snapped at her (at the moment we are keeping them segregated). I would not recommend she goes to a home with small children. She is a lovely dog and would make a wonderful companion for someone. She is approx 5 years old and is fully fit - she is well looked after and has regular check ups at the vets."
Bessie is at present living in the north Wales area. If you are interested in offering Bessie a home, or would like to know more about her, please ring her owner, Christine, on 01407 840522.

Handsome greyhound Indigo Sooty has recently been retired from racing and is a loving home. These are his owner's words.
" Indigo Sooty is a black dog just two years old this month, and has never suffered an injury or illness. His racing weight was approx 70lbs He’s a friendly dog who has been brought up with children around the kennels, and should make a good pet.
He has only had 5 races but never won, I think he’s too clever to chase a mechanical hare!
He was bred in Ireland and came over here at 14 weeks old, and has lived at the racing kennels since.
The kennels are near Sandy in Bedfordshire.
If you would like to see him or need further information please ‘phone his trainers Terry and Marlene Westwood on 01767 692345, or on Terry’s mobile 07831 184365.
Alternatively you can ring me (Steve) on 07979 657354 at any time."

Well my racing career did not even get out of the starting blocks. I am a tattooed greyhounds who, although registered for racing, never raced.
Smallish good looking male, thats me, who walks well on the lead and gets along with the other Greyhounds in the kennels. My sisters are Ruby and Pixie who have just been re-homed.
I am quite a softy at heart and I do love a nice cuddle after my walk in the morning.
My new home must have no small animals.
Kennel life is good but I long for a nice cozy sofa and some human company.
Children need to be slightly older as I can get a little excited when I am around new people.

Rough coated lurcher Juke came into the rescue because of a domestic split. He needs a home with someone who must understand his sensitivity and give him time to settle, and should participate in training.
Jules is good with smaller calm dogs. In the home he may fight over food or toys. He is not good with cats. He cannot be left - needs to learn as he chews and barks if he is left. Someone with
nervous dog experience is recommended.
Juke is very sensitive and takes time to warm to people and situations. He can become panicky if he feels hemmed in by people. Juke needs a very calm home with no conflict or he won't cope. Will be loyal once settled. He has been neutered.

Lovely greyhound Louis needs a new home because his owner has had to move from a spacious house into a very small one with her 4 children, her lurcher Molly, and Louis. Her health problems mean that she is not able to take him for walks much, and lthough Molly is older and happy to stay in the garden, Louis is not.
These are his owner's words: "
The lack of space means that Louis, is for ever being moved out of the way, as we only have one living room, and it isn't fair on him. My health probelms mean I have not been able to take Louis out as much as he should be. I want him to have asgood a life as he can, and he is not going to have that with me.
What can I tell you about him?
He was a racing dog for 3 years, then cared for by the lady I got him from, for 3 years.
She had to move when her marriage ended, and she was moving to a small flat which was
unsuitable for him.
He is approx 28 inches at the shoulder. He is fawn with white chest and feet.
He is neutered. He is friendly to all people, and good with children.
He cannot be kept with cats, and is not always good with other dogs.
He is food obsessed, eating all day if he was able to.
He prefers to sleep on a settee, but has been on the floor at this house and still sleeps well.
He dreams lots, and runs and growls in his sleep, which has amused us all.
I have fed him on complete food since I have had him. He doesn't bark much, unless he's
hungry or excited. He is about 8 yrs old now".

Rough coated lurcher Rufus was found as a stray. He needs a home where he will be the only pet and where any children are at least 8 years old. He likes bitches but can be growly with male dogs.

Ex-racing greyhound Wilf is blue with white on his chest. He came into the rescue when the racing yard he lived in closed.
He is in good health but coat not in very good condition on arrival and had some sore areas on skin, checked out by vet and now treated. He has been vaccinated.
Wilf was a little nervous at first, but is happy to make friends. He is good with adults and we're told he's ok with children but don't know how much contact he's had, was not kennelled with other dogs but has raced with them and exercises regularly with Jack. He does not like cats.
Wilf is an ex-racing dog although we believe he hasn't raced recently. He's very gentle and enjoys contact with people once he overcomes his initial nervousness. Greyhounds are lovely natured dogs and he should make a great family pet once he's had time to adjust to his new way of life
