Thank you to everyone who came along to our recent walk at Grange Arch in Dorset.
It was a beautiful autumnal afternoon for a walk, and everyone had a well earned rest in the aptly named Greyhound Inn after! Thanks to everyone's generosity, a total of ยฃ85.90 (and lots of tins of sardines!) was donated for our hounds in need. ๐

We are delighted to announce that Bella is home...forever! ๐
Bella 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 her home until we could match her to a new family, meaning 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!
Faye, now lives in Devon with her lovely new family, and as you can see, she has settled very well indeed! Her mum says "Bella is such a joy, so sweet and gentle."
We wish them all a very happy future together! ๐
๐พ๐ก Urgent Home Appeal! ๐ก๐พ Lovely Loki is a lurcher boy of around 6 years old, and is looking for a new family due to an upcoming change in circumstances at home. He doesn't have long until being at home is no longer feasible, so we are desperate to find him a home so he doesn't have to come into kennels. Loki ticks many boxes that people look for in a dog: โ He's a very loving, affectionate dog who thrives on human company โ He really enjoys interacting with kids so can live with young children โ He is sociable with other dogs so can live with one โ He's got great recall off-lead โ He's very handsome! Loki does needs a couple of good runs or decent walks each day. Once heโs burned off all his energy, heโs happy to just snooze on the sofa! Loki is a

Poor Tiger... This beautiful 6 year old lurcher has been looking for a new home for a while, but she isn't getting much interest...at all. So, she's decided to up her game, and show you how clever she is. She's crossing her paws that someone reads this and offers her a home! ๐คโค๏ธ๐ Tiger is a sweet, clever and playful girl, who is very settled in a home environment. She really enjoys her exercise and learning new tricks...as you can see! However, she spends most of the day snoozing on the couch! She is very sensitive, and can struggle with certain situations, therefore, is looking for a patient and understanding adopter who is interested in continuing her training. Check out her profile on the following link for more about her and the sort of home she needs. foreverhoundstrust.org/dog/tiger/ Let's see if keeping her paws crossed brings her the luck she

We were deeply saddened to hear of the passing of one of our sponsor dogs, Barney. When greyhound Barney was rescued he was very withdrawn, seemed unable to walk properly and had trouble sleeping. Therefore, we worked hard to identify the issue to see whether there was anything we could do to give him a chance of life. After various vet appointments and scans, it became apparent he had severe spinal problems and muscle seizures which led him to be in constant pain. It was likely this had been caused by intensive racing. Barney was prescribed painkilling medication and physiotherapy which started to transform him into a more confident, happier soul. He was placed with a special family who would continue the treatment plan indefinitely and give him the life he deserved. They, along with their greyhound Faith taught him how to trust people and enjoy life again. As you
