Our fab volunteers recently organised a social 'cake' walk in Bedfordshire; a walk followed by a get together in a local hall - to eat....cake! 🍰

A wonderful total of £326.60 was raised which will make a big difference to our hounds in need. 🙏

Thank you everyone!

Gorgeous Gwen was adopted four years ago, and we were delighted to receive this update on how she is getting on from her lovely family. "The story so far... When we lost our lurcher Blackie we were devastated, but a friend told us of Forever Hounds Trust who thought Gwen might be right for us. Once we met Gwen we knew she had to come back with us to the Isle of Wight, and she did so well with the car and ferry journey home. It's been a massive learning curve for us all but Gwen has us trained now with every whim and fancy catered for. In the first year we saw her real character develop as she settled in. The second year was not so great as she was constantly really ill with a mystery illness, living at the vets and nearly not pulling through a few times.

Forever Hounds Trust is pleased to have been able to help with the development of this recent study relating to greyhounds homed by British rescues independent of the Greyhound Board of Great Britain (GGGB) Homing Scheme.

Due to our desire for greyhound racing to be phased out in the UK, we are not part of this scheme. Therefore, we were also able to also contribute to the study which makes for some interesting reading.

If you know the story of Christmas, you'll know Mary and Joseph were turned away from a cosy room as there was no room at the inn, however, we always try and make room at our 'Inn' for hounds that need us. So, at a time when you might be looking forward to a break over Christmas, maybe in a hotel or Bed and Breakfast, please consider what this means for the hounds that arrive in our care. Their first night in a B&B...our kennels...can be scary and confusing. For a special sale price of 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 £𝟱, you can help provide a rescue dog with a comfy bed for the night, their first meal and a chance to settle into their new surroundings. With your help, we can make sure these dogs, who are at their most vulnerable, receive all the love, care and reassurance they need. This will set

🐾❤️ Forever Home Friday ❤️🐾 We are delighted to announce that Sugar is home...forever! 🎉 Sugar was one of our home-from-home transfers. Her family asked for our help to rehome her, so we assessed her but she stayed in his home until we could match her to a new family. This meant less disruption for her as she didn't need to go through the often unsettling process of coming into kennels. This also had the added bonus that the kennel space could be used by another dog who needed our help! Sugar now lives in Devon with her lovely new family, which includes her new cocker spaniel sister, one of our littlest volunteers who comes to help us do some of our small dog testing! Even after a few days, her family said it was like she had always been there. Our behaviourist did comment thought that she's probably one
