LOCKY

UPDATE: 4.7.20 Locky has spent some time in a local foster home. He is now back in kennels waiting for his forever home. New silver brindle male LOCKY arrived in kennels on 9th June 2020. He is settling well, and although he sometimes shows some anxiety, for the majority of the time he's a super friendly and playful lad. He loves his walks, and even though he is a little giddy at first, walks well on the lead. He is well behaved when meeting other breeds of dog. We feel Locky is going to be an excellent pet.

ADDI

Gorgeous black boy ADDI arrived with us on the 28.5.20. ADDI is a shy lad, who loves his walks and has a friend in Makants hound STAN who has a similar personality. ADDI loves humans and is well behaved around other dogs. He will make a fantastic pet once he gets over his shyness and we are looking for a quiet home for him. More details to follow as he settles in.

STAN

Young shy boy STAN joined us on the 25.5.20. STAN loves to spend time with fellow new hound ADDI, both being of the same temperament. Like ADDI he also likes people and is fine around other dogs. He has taken time to settle and is looking for a quiet home with someone around most of the time, at least for the initial settling in period.

NINA

Three year old NINA arrived with us on the 25.5.20 and is our DOG OF THE MONTH FOR JULY. She has settled in very well and has shown us she is a very friendly, bouncy girl. NINA responds well to attention and is a very kissy and cuddly girl too! Out and about she is easy to walk on the lead and doesn't react to other breeds of dog. NINA is a fun loving girl and likes to try and get the other dogs to play when she's spending time in the paddock! Now looking for her forever home, we feel she would be equally happy living with another dog or living on her own.

WILLY (Buddy)

Shy boy WILLY (now known as BUDDY) arrived with us during lockdown on 13.5.20. A quiet but yet very friendly boy he went straight into foster care locally. 10.6.20 His foster carers tell us he is settling in well and absolutely loves Ruby, his canine companion. Although still a nervous boy he is enjoying all the new experiences he is having when out on his walks and particularly enjoys spending time in the water. Just this week he mastered the stairs too! Well done Buddy! We send our thanks to Ant and Chel for taking such good care of this lovely lad.

REG

This lad, our dog of the month for April, has already shown what a clever boy he is with his toilet routine, always asking to go out when he needs to. He has settled into a routine and spends the time she is working just snoozing his life away! Reg likes his food, with sardines being a particular favourite, another favourite is playing ball in the garden. Reg loves nothing more than spending time in the evenings cuddling up and has shown he is an affectionate boy too. Reg so far has been the perfect house guest, sleeping through the night downstairs with no problems at all. On walks he does, however, find other breeds of dog a bit exciting and likes to bark at them. We hope that, with more exposure to other breeds, this will lessen as time goes on.

CHLOE

Gorgeous brindle girl CHLOE arrived with us on 9th January this year. Siobhan describes her as 'adorable' so we think she's a little smitten with her. Chloe loves the company of the other greyhounds on her walks and loves people too! Chloe can however be a little strong on the lead and would need to be the only dog in a household as she wants all the attention for herself!

TOM

*Update* 24.5.20 High energy hound TOM arrived with us back in kennels in November last year, and subsequently went into a foster home with Ann in February this year. Ann, a very experienced foster carer says Tom has to be one of the ‘ most energetic hounds’ she has ever come across! He certainly doesn’t live up to the long held belief that all greyhounds are ‘couch potatoes’ as Tom absolutely loves to be out and about. He has a two mile walk every morning and a shorter one in the evening and even then he would happily go out again! Tom behaves well on walks too when meeting other breeds of dog. This lad is also an intelligent boy (we can’t honestly say that for every greyhound we know!) and when in kennels became known as an escape artist, opening his own kennel and going around calling for his mates too! Great care would need to be taken by any prospective adopter to ensure that Tom is kept safe. Tom is great with his food and enjoys it almost as much as his walks. He’s an affectionate lad who, during his downtime, loves to be cuddled and kissed but who also likes to be kept occupied. He loves his toys and loves to play games in the house too. Tom is looking for someone who shares his love of walking and who can also provide a safe environment for him.

HARRY

Updated: 24.5.20 Harry is now looking for his forever home. Sweet boy HARRY joined us in November last year and has been able to spend several weeks in a local foster home with Makants volunteer Celine. Initially Harry experienced separation anxiety and careful work by Celine ensured this lessened as each day progressed and Harry became more relaxed when on his own. He has progressed to feeling relaxed and confident spending the majority of the day on his own downstairs in her property and also spending night times on his own. However, it is difficult to give a true indication of his anxiety as Celine has been based at home for the majority of lockdown. Celine has been working on Harry’s walking etiquette while he has been living with her. Progress has been made and he has successfully met larger breeds of dog on regular occasions. He can still be reactive when he sees other dogs though, particularly smaller breeds. Harry is a loving lad and has a soft spot for the children he has met. He is sensitive and gentle and his favourite past time has been sunbathing on Celine’s lawn. He is not a morning hound though and prefers to start each day with a lie in! We are looking for someone who would be around for the majority of the day and who could help Harry with any separation issues. A prospective adopter would need to work with Harry on his behaviour too.

ALFIE

Four year old Alfie has been with us since October last year and is a friendly and affectionate lad who loves to play ball. He loves people too and enjoys time spent with volunteers, especially if they spend time cuddling him in his kennel. Alfie walks well on the lead but can be a little strong at first due to his excitement at going for a walk. His behaviour has really calmed down now, thanks to the hard work of our walking volunteers and he is getting used to other breeds of dog. He is looking for a home with someone who has greyhound experience. We also feel Alfie would benefit from being in a home where there is someone around most of the day as he craves human affection.

CHUCK

Chuck arrived with us in September 2019. This four year old boy is a friendly and affectionate lad, always ready with a waggy tail and one who absolutely loves cuddles. He has settled well at kennels and we feel he would be ideally placed with a female hound for company or could live on his own, and that he would enjoy spending time with children (5 years +).

If you would like to find out more about CHUCK featured here please contact either Sue our re-homing co-ordinator on 07794463249 or Siobhan at kennels on 07960561988. Alternatively you can complete our short homing questionnaire here, one of our team will then get back to you.

CHARLIE

Charlie arrived with us in May last year and settled in well. He was lucky to spend time some time during lockdown in foster care with a local family and has now returned to kennels. His foster carer Leanne reported that ‘he settled in well and is a chilled boy who spends most of the day lying down!’ Charlie slept on his own through the night without a peep and was clean in the house with no accidents at all. He spent short periods in the house on his own and was fine at being left. Charlie was able to show what a great dog he is in the house but out on walks his behaviour does let him down. He does walk well on the lead but reacts by barking at other breeds of dog he meets, especially smaller breeds. His foster family spent time working with him on this and this guidance will continue now he is back in kennels.

ROBBIE

Stunning brindle and white four year old kennel hound Robbie has been in our care for two years now. Earlier this year Robbie successfully spent some time in a family home but was returned to us due to family illness. Robbie settled well in the home, was able to be left during the day and enjoyed the company of children. Obviously we feel that Robbie would thrive being back in a home situation once again. He's a very friendly lad but is reactive towards other breeds of dog. However, he is a quick learner - and having mastered many commands while living in a home - we feel that with consistent training with an experienced owner his behaviour would soon improve. Robbie is very much a couch potato as you can tell from the photos. He would probably live with a female hound or would be equally as happy on his own.

HILLY

HILLY was lucky to spend the majority of lockdown with one of our volunteers. He has now returned to kennels and is looking for his forever home. Sweet boy HILLY was with his foster carer Andy for seven weeks and, according to Andy, was a ‘joy to have around the house, being the perfect home working companion.’ Hilly, with his puppy dog eyes, was able to show what a gentle soul he is around the house. He loves attention and affection, with belly rubs being his favourite! However, Hilly remains nervous around other dogs and when out on walks reacts by barking and lunging. His behaviour improved with input from Andy and he is now usually able to pass other dogs without reacting, as long as they keep a (social) distance. Any prospective adopter would need to continue to with work with Hilly on this. Hilly is completely house trained, taking himself to the back door when he needs to go out. He's a boy who loves to play with squeaky toys and Andy’s gardening gloves being particular favourites. During his time in lockdown Hilly also mastered some simple commands and has enjoyed his training. Hilly enjoyed his walks and and Andy found that Hilly enjoyed jogging along with him and that, when jogging, he was distracted from other dogs in the vicinity.

PATRICK

It’s hard to believe but our lovely long stay hound Patrick has been with us for nearly five years now, having arrived with us in the summer of 2015. He was an extremely nervous boy initially, especially around people. It was a major task even to coax him out of his kennel and Siobhan spent a great deal of time working with him to gain his trust. These days Pat loves cuddles from the people he has grown to know and trust. He allows regular volunteers into his kennel who love to give him fuss and, most importantly, treats! In fact, this shy lad has a big group of volunteers who take care of him, in effect we could say he has his own fan club! He gets on well with all the other kennel dogs, often enjoying their company walking alongside them and he is especially interested to meet all new female hounds! Although Pat's confidence has improved he can still be very wary of new people and certain everyday situations can make him very anxious. He would need a very special someone, a patient adopter who would take things slowly, and at his pace. Any prospective adopters would need to be prepared to make as many visits to kennels as is required, in order to build up a strong relationship with him prior to any re-homing. Pat classes kennels as his home and, as yet, we have not been able to find anyone who can meet his needs. In the meantime please be assured that he receives plenty of love and attention from our volunteers, many of who have grown very fond of him over the years.
