It’s nearly the BIG day and what a full on year we have had!
We will be sharing some of our success stories for the year very soon, keep watching out for these.
Christmas Fair:
Our Christmas Fair was fantastic despite the miserable weather.
The team raised £1,900 for the greyhounds in our immediate care as well as the future ones coming in.
We would like to thank everyone who supported us at this event and all our volunteers who worked hard to make this event so successful.
Information about Rawhide:
Please be careful when buying your dog their Christmas treats, many shops are now selling extra special treats.
Rawhide is made from cattle or horse hides and their journey starts with the hide being soaked in a toxic sodium sulphide to remove the hair and fat. More chemicals are then used to spit the hide and give it, it’s “pure” white look.
On testing, these chews have shown traces of arsenic, mercury, chromium and formaldehyde.
Please keep your dogs safe this Christmas by leaving these chews in the shops.
Be careful with all the extra ‘human’ food/treats available during this festive season especially mince pies, cooked bones, chocolate, nuts and alcohol. There are many others, please keep them out of reach of your doggie friends who may become very ill if eaten.
Our Greyhounds Christmas Wish List:
This Christmas our kennel greyhounds have asked for the following items;
Soft treats
Wet dog food
Pigs Ears
Salmon Oil
Fleece Blankets
Soft toys.
If you are able to help and buy an item from our Christmas wish list we would be very grateful and I’m sure the kennel greyhounds will give you a cuddle or two!
Christmas Homing Dates:
Please note that the last adoption day prior to Christmas will be Saturday 13th December 2025. Normal homing’s will re-start on 1st January 2026.
Only in exceptional cases and in homes where there are no children resident will we consider relaxing this policy. The forthcoming holiday period can be a very stressful time for people and as such it is not generally a good time to bring a new dog into the home.
This decision has been made with the welfare of our greyhounds at the forefront of our minds. We hope that you understand our decision.
Viewings for greyhounds and potentially reservations will still be ongoing throughout the holiday period, so please continue to check for updates on our website.
