To continue our series celebrating some of the wonderful dogs who have found their forever homes through Forever Hounds Trust over the past 30 years, we’d love to introduce the beautiful Luna. ❤️🐾 Luna has an extra-special connection to our anniversary too — on the very same day that Forever Hounds Trust celebrated 30 years, Luna celebrated her 6th Gotcha Day! 🎉 Her mum tells us: “Luna is my second dog from FHT - my first was lovely old ex-racer Susie. We call her Princess Luna 👑 and she certainly lives up to her name! But she is also a wonderful, happy and affectionate hound who has brought so much happiness into our lives. I will always be grateful to Forever Hounds Trust for trusting me to care for her, and for all that the charity is doing for dogs like Luna. With love and all good wishes for the

It’s World Mental Health Day, and did you know, caring for a dog can help our mental health in many ways, including: 🐾 Increasing your physical activity. 🐾 Providing companionship. 🐾 Reducing anxiety. 🐾 Helping you meet new people. 🐾 Adding structure to your day. But remember, it’s not just all about you; your dog needs to have good mental health too, and that is something we are passionate about here at Forever Hounds Trust. Having a dog is a serious commitment; you’ll need to have the time, money and energy for a dog, as well as a suitable home environment. Otherwise, it could have the opposite effect – both yours, and the dog's mental health could suffer.

There were plenty of wagging tails in Alhampton on Sunday 27th September as many hounds joined our Great Global Greyhound Walk! 🐾 The GGGW is an annual celebration bringing together greyhounds, lurchers and other sighthounds around the world, raising awareness of these beautiful breeds and showing just what wonderful companions they can be. We were thrilled to have 30 hounds (and 3 non-sighthounds!) join us in Alhampton, contributing to an incredible, record-breaking 16,696 sighthounds taking part in 748 walks across 48 countries! 🌍👏 A big thank you to the Alhampton Inn for hosting us, and to Rose and the Alhampton Inn ladies – Zena, Hilary and Pam – who brought along cakes to sell and helped with organising the raffle and refreshments. 🍰 We’d also like to say a big thank you to Caro and Kim, who kindly volunteered at the event.

🐾 Foster homes needed - could you help a hound in need? 🐾 We’re looking for new foster homes for our hounds across the South West and surrounding areas. Due to the needs of the hounds currently looking for foster homes, we’re looking for people who are physically able and confident handling larger, stronger or more energetic hounds, including dogs who may be strong on the lead. Fostering can make an enormous difference to a hound. ❤️ By welcoming a hound into your home temporarily, you can reduce the amount of time they spend in kennels and help us learn much more about how they behave in a home environment. This valuable insight can increase their chances of finding the right forever home. And there’s another important benefit: every dog who moves into foster care frees up kennel space for another hound in need. You won’t be doing it alone.

We had a fantastic time at Poulton Park Fun Dog Show & Autumn Fete in Bradford-on-Avon, where we were delighted to have a Forever Hounds Trust stall!

One of the best parts of the day was meeting some of the lovely dogs who stopped by to say hello, some of whom are pictured! 🥰

Thanks to everyone who visited our stall, had a chat and supported us. We raised a brilliant £208.10 to help the hounds in our care! 👏

The event, organised by Bradford on Avon Lions Club, raised an incredible £2,497 overall for the local community - what a fantastic achievement!

A huge thank you to the Lions Club for having us, to our wonderful volunteers, and to everyone who came to see us and supported Forever Hounds Trust. ❤️🐾
