Due to popular demand, last month we held another of our popular social walks at Stourhead National Trust! There was a lovely turnout, and a total of £42.20 was raised for our hounds in need. 🐾❤️ We had talented photographers Rose and Brian there to capture the events of the day, their fabulous photos can be seen by clicking on this link fhtphotos2024.wixsite.com/photogallery/stourhead-social-walk-17-8-24. For a suggested donation of £10 for one, or £20 for three images, you can secure yourself the photograph as an A4, high resolution digital image (without a watermark) which will be emailed to you. Please email hubbardrose@hotmail.com for further details. Keep an eye on our website for future walks being announced foreverhoundstrust.org/events/. If you'd like to organise one in your area in aid of Forever Hounds Trust, we'd love to welcome you into our volunteer family! Please email fundraising@foreverhoundstrust.org for further info and support.

🐾❤️ Forever Home Friday ❤️🐾
We are delighted to announce that Figgy is home...forever! 🎉
Handsome Figgy stayed a little bit longer with us whilst he waited for his forever family to find him, but the wait was more than worth it as here he is going home with them!
Lucky Figgy is now living in Devon with his lovely family, which includes a lurcher pal to play with! They say
"𝑇ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑘𝑠 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔, ℎ𝑒'𝑠 𝑠𝑢𝑐ℎ 𝑎 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑙𝑦 𝑏𝑜𝑦".
We wish them all a very happy future together! 💕

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 - Why can't sighthounds read books?
𝗔𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿 - if they put their nose in a book, thanks to their loooooong snouts, their eyes are too far away to see the words!😆
So, they just have to be read to on National Read a Book Day! 📖🥰

Hello Hopper! Hopper is one of our more recent arrivals, and is currently undergoing assessment. When new dogs arrive into our care, they housed in a seperate kennel block to our more established residents. These separate kennels allow us to provide a quiet and safe place for them whilst they settle in, and allow us to ensure they aren't carrying any illness that we wouldn't want passed onto other other residents. They also go out solo, on a different walk, so any potential illnesses aren't spread on shared walking routes. This is only for a short period before they move into the main kennels and make way for the next set of new arrivals. A good experience for them is to meet different people, just like our camera operator here who Hopper had never met before. As you can see, he is more than happy to say hello and explore

If these pictures don't make you smile, we don't know what will! 🥰
Remember Bertie, the 15 year old greyhound whose lovely owner was no longer able to care for him due to his own health issues? After being made aware of his plight, we committed to helping Bertie by driving up the the Midlands to collect him, before delivering to an amazing foster home in Wales.
Well, you'll be delighted to hear he is doing really well - here he is in a rainbow of hounds! He's in the yellow, surrounded by his lovely sisters. ❤️
Now affectionately known as Mr B, Bertie has even played with his new sister Joan for the first time, and belying his years he was bounding around the garden!

Hi, it's homeless hound, Coco! 🐾
Thank you to everyone who sent me birthday wishes, an even bigger THANK YOU to you lovely peeples who sent me birthday gifts from our Wishlist! I got one of my carers to film me whilst I opened them, I was sooooooo excited! 😆
I may not have a family of my own yet to treat me on my birthday, or any other day for that matter, BUT I take some consolation that I am being looked after so well by the lovely peeples at the charity, and that you all care about me. ❤️
With your help sharing my posts, hopefully one of your friends will see what a lovely girlie I am and will want their lives enriched by all the love and laughter I can provide.
Love n' licks,
Coco ❤️🐾

She's Only Gone and Done It! Brave Volunteer Rose has braved the shave for Forever Hounds Trust, and in the process has raised an AMAZING £3000 plus….so far! This includes the total on her Just Giving Page, money donated on the day, and money promised. Not only will our hounds benefit from Rose’s selfless act, so will children with cancer, as she has sent the bulk of her hair to The Little Princess Trust, who will make a wig out of it. Thanks to Alhampton Inn 2024 for hosting the event – A Dog’s Day Out; our volunteers had a great day, running a stall, being involved with the dog show and cheering Rose on - they raised a wonderful £305 on the day. Rose adopted Bandit from Forever Hounds Trust back in early 2019, and she did this to ensure more hounds are able to live a happy life
