Age is no barrier….part 2!
A few weeks ago, we shared a story of a lovely 102-year-old lady with her greyhound Ella. We had such a lovely response to the post, giving people hope that we had no age restriction on adopters as long as the match was right, and the dog would always be cared for if needed. Imagine …
Just like buses, two offers come at once!
Sometimes when we have long-stayers in our care, we wonder what it will take for these dogs to find a home. Both Connor and Marquee were such dogs, adored by the kennel teams looking after them, but struggled to attract any attention from a potential adopters despite all our best efforts. However, sometimes the wait …
A happy homing story!
Nutty Norway (as she was affectionately known in kennels), is now called Nora and is enjoying being a much-loved member of her lovely new family. We are thrilled with Nora, she’s been a real joy and already seems one of the family. It’s a tribute to the work your team did while she was in …
Two are better than one!
Did you know that we sometimes get pairs of dogs that we need to home together? They may have lived together in a home prior to arriving in our care, or they might have developed a close bond in kennels or in foster. Either way, for their welfare, the dogs can’t be split up and …

There were smiles all round this week – and an emotional tear or two – as our lovely Marrick headed off to his forever home.

Rory is home…forever!
Rory, a 5 year old lurcher came to Forever Hounds Trust from Ireland where it was apparent he had lived a very hard life, before being saved by an Irish rescue. When he first arrived, his previous experience was evident in his behaviour – he was scared, withdrawn, nervous of people, and had absolutely no …
Breeze finds a home with Macau Monty!
Two-year-old sweet but shy Saluki lurcher Breeze was found straying and homed, but then returned to the pound before she came into our care. We had the task of finding this lovely girl a really secure and supportive home where she would receive unconditional love. What better home than one that had previously welcomed one …
When foster turns into forever – Ballad’s story.
At the beginning of 2020, we ran an emergency appeal on our Facebook Page for Ballad, who was rushed to the out of hours vets with what turned out to be a severe case of bacterial cellulitis. Months of nursing and care followed, until it was sadly discovered the leg couldn’t be saved, and so …
Lucas survived and bagged himself a forever home!
Lucas, a 12 year old former racing greyhound came to Forever Hounds Trust at the start of the Coronavirus lockdown. We don’t know how he came to be a stray, but it was clearly some time since he was cared for. The list of ailments was long – unsteady on his feet, very bad mange, …
