🐾❤️ Forever Home Friday ❤️🐾 We are so happy to share that Peanut is home...forever! 🎉 Peanut was originally adopted from Forever Hounds Trust many years ago. Sadly, when her beloved owner passed away, she found herself back in our care. Although our kennels were full, there was no question that we would make room for her. Having already adopted two greyhounds from us over the past 12 months, one wonderful family knew they still had room in their hearts and home for one more very special girl. As soon as they spotted lovely Peanut, they got in touch to find out more. Now, 13-year-old Peanut is happily living in Devon, surrounded by love, comfort and all the care she deserves. We couldn't be happier that this sweet girl has found the perfect place to enjoy her golden years. Wishing Peanut and her wonderful family a lifetime of love, happiness

🐾 We had a fantastic time recently at the Petmania Charity Day in Weston-super-Mare! 🐶

It was wonderful to meet so many lovely people (and, of course, plenty of adorable dogs!), raise awareness about our work, and sell some of our merchandise. We've shared a few photos of our four-legged visitors! ❤️

Thanks to your amazing support, we raised £156.66 on the day. A huge thank you also goes to Petmania for their generous £150 donation - our share of the dog show proceeds - which brought our grand total to an amazing £306.66! 🎉

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our stall, had a chat, made a purchase, or donated. Your support means so much and helps us continue changing the lives of dogs in need. 💙

In light of the current situation within the greyhound racing industry, Forever Hounds Trust believes that the radical systemic changes outlined in this report (page 41) would go some way towards safeguarding the welfare of racing greyhounds.

However, there appears to be little evidence that the industry, as a self-regulating body, has either the willingness or the momentum to implement these measures effectively.

Therefore, we are calling for a phased end to greyhound racing in the UK, as we believe this is the only realistic way to secure a future in which the welfare of greyhounds is properly protected.

✨ What an amazing update on Pippa (formerly Rosie)! ✨

Pippa was adopted just two months ago through our Home from Home scheme, and she's already thriving.

Here's what her adopter had to share:

"We've just been to a Village Summer Fete with Pippa, where we entered the dog show. Pippa won her group – Best Rescue. Then she went into the winners' contest and won Best in Show! 🏆We came home laden with doggie treats – well worth the £1 entry!"

Looks like she's been getting lots of cuddles for her efforts too – we can safely say... that's one happy little girl! Next adventure for Pippa is flyball. Her instructor thinks she'll be fab!

Congratulations, Pippa! We're so proud of you and absolutely love seeing our adopted dogs living their best lives. ❤️🐾

Not every sunny day calls for an adventure – sometimes it's the perfect excuse for a snooze! ☀️🐾

Lucy has found the coolest spot in her kennel, where she's happily dozing the morning away. Staying cool and comfortable is the priority on warm days, and Lucy has it all figured out. ❤️

What a wonderful morning we had at our Gloucestershire 30th Anniversary Social recently! ❤️

With the warm weather in mind, our walk set off nice and early at 9am, helping everyone – both two-legged and four-legged – enjoy a safe and happy stroll before the celebrations continued back at The Old Lodge.

The rest of the morning was spent catching up with fellow sighthound lovers over drinks and delicious cake, with plenty of wagging tails and happy faces all around. 🍰

Thanks to everyone's generosity, we raised an amazing £288.80 to help us continue changing the lives of vulnerable hounds. Every penny will make a difference.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along and supported the event. We hope you all enjoyed celebrating this special milestone with us. 💙🐾

Not every moment is full of zoomies – especially in this warm weather! ☀️🐾 Sometimes the best option is to stretch out, relax in a cool kennel, and enjoy a little peace and quiet. Albie certainly knows how to make the most of his downtime!❤️

Say hello to handsome Sonny! 😍

This lovely lad has recently arrived in our care having made the long journey from Wales. We are still getting to know him, but we do already know he is a very bright and happy boy - his name suits his sunny nature!☀️ He isn't ready for homing yet, but if he has caught your eye, check out his newly published profile for more pics of him. foreverhoundstrust.org/dog/sonny/

If we haven't got a suitable home for him on our waiting list, he will become available when his assessment is complete and he is ready to start his new life!

One minute he's up, playing with his new toy - the next, he's completely relaxed, stretched out, content, and taking life at his own pace.

Ghost knows he's home. 🏡

Enjoy every moment, Ghost. You've well and truly found where you belong. ❤️

Continuing our series of 30 facts about sighthounds and Forever Hounds Trust, we're turning the spotlight on our lovely lurchers! Known for their speed, intelligence, and affectionate nature, lurchers make wonderful companions and are a firm favourite with many of our adopters. Here are 10 fascinating facts about these amazing hounds. 1. A lurcher is not a specific breed. A lurcher is usually a cross between a sighthound (such as a greyhound, whippet, or deerhound) and another type of dog. 2. Lurcher vs Longdog. A cross between two sighthound breeds is often called a lurcher for ease. In fact, the correct term is longdog, named for its long, lean appearance. 3. They were originally bred for hunting. Lurchers were developed to combine the speed of sighthounds with the working abilities of other breeds. 4. Every lurcher is unique. Because they are crossbreeds, lurchers can vary greatly in size, coat type,
