Happy Homing Stories

Opening Your Heart to a Greyhound

We always love to hear about peoples experiences when adopting a dog from us, so we were delighted to hear from Hooley’s dad Pat. Read his lovely account below….

Happy Homing Story – Scally

Scally (was Davy) went home recently and now lives in Wiltshire with his lovely family which includes two lurcher sisters – Breeze and Shadow. Here’s what he’s been up to since leaving our care, as told by his lovely mum: Scally had a very relaxed trip home and has been so chilled for his first …

Happy Homing Story – Sweetpea

We’ve received this wonderful update on gorgeous Sweetpea who was adopted four years ago! She is doing amazing. She has her brother (the black dog) and my parents rescue (the whippet). She’s slowing down and getting stiffer but she’s doing amazingly well! We just love these pictures of Sweetpea living her best life!

Happy Homing Story – Ziggy

We absolutely love hearing about our adopted dogs, so we were delighted to receive this lovely update on the very handsome Ziggy (formerly Kelpie), who was adopted two years ago! Forever happy – and so are we! He is such a good boy with a real zest for life… and sleeping! He still has his …

Happy Homing Story – Dolly and Keef

Dolly and Keef were the unfortunate start to our 2025 Summer Appeal when they came to us after their owner was seriously injured in a car accident. Keef, a gentle soul, had been adopted years earlier, and after losing his canine companion, Dolly had joined the family, bringing joy and companionship back into his life. …

Happy Homing Story – Barney

We love receiving update on our adopted hounds, no matter how long ago they went home. Therefore, we were delighted to hear about Barney! His lovely mum says “I thought you might like to see the first picture we ever took of Barney one cold Sunday morning at your centre in Nantwich…..fast forward 9 years!!! …

Suri’s Story

We love hearing updates about our adopted hounds, so we were delighted to receive this heart-warming story of resilience from Suri’s mum. Is one of Suri’s pups a member of your family? You can let us know by emailing us!

Happy Homing Story – Buck

We’ve received this lovely update on recently adopted Buck from his wonderful mum and dad. While every dog is different, their story gives a really nice insight into how ex-racing greyhounds may need to adjust as they settle into a home environment. And remember, we’re always here to support our adopters — our dedicated behaviourist …

Happy Homing Story – Twiglet

We absolutely love hearing how our hounds are getting on, so were delighted to receive this update on gorgeous Twiglet three years after she was adopted!

Happy Homing Story – Finnbar

We love this update about one of our adopted hounds, shared with us right around the time the clocks changed… Then and now….10 years ago Finnbar came home with me as a 10 month old, wicked and very smelly adolescent! It’s amazing how much his coat has changed colour – he’s now mostly shades of …

Happy Homing Story – Goose’s First Holiday!

We love receiving updates on our adopted hounds, so were delighted to hear how Goose was getting on! This lovely lad has been in his forever home for six months. I just wanted to let you know how well Goose is doing. He has been on his first holiday, a week in Cornwall. He travelled …

Happy Homing Story – Belle

We are delighted to to announce that Belle has found her forever home! You might remember this lovely girl from our summer appeal “When Life Doesn’t Always Go To Plan“. Belle was living her best life, exploring the waterways of the UK on a canal boat with her family. But when a serious illness struck, …
