Here is our handsome Doc striking a pose.

Doc has had a couple of attempts at settling in a home environment however he hasn’t quite got the hang of it however we would hope for it to be third tube lucky.

Doc isn’t a straightforward boy as he has a resource guarding issue so would need a home where this can he understood.

Doc walked perfectly for Chloe on Tuesday and reacted to nothing. In the kennel his favourite pose is on his back feet in the air.

Whoever gives Doc a chance will not be disappointed and will also have the back up of the Greyhound Trust behavioural expert who will only be a phone call away.

Kate is just a super friendly happy girl. She is initially strong on the lead however her waggy tail and big smile more than makes up for this. She gets on really well with other greyhounds however small dogs and furries aren’t quite at the stage of being friends to Kate.

Ben walked really well with no real issues that got him too excited. He took everything in his stride, kids, bikes and all sorts of sizes of dogs.
He walked like a perfect gentleman and we are sure this is what exactly this boy will be in a home environment.

Nate is another photogenic boy and he walked alongside Mazda on Tuesday evening. Again he pulled to get to the front of the queue, so much so he knew a short cut to make sure he got there.
Excitable around small and off lead dogs however he soon walked on past them with little interest as the walk progressed. Nate is very friendly and playful and he also loves a lean so really he is the ideal companion.

Mazda really enjoyed his time at the park on Tuesday evening and here is his story to try and find a sofa.

Mazda can be a little excitable and pully however this is really just to push himself to the front of the group so he can get first look at any potential adopters. Mazda showed friendly interest towards mid sized and large dogs with his tail wagging when he seen them. Whilst with small dogs his attention was a bit more focused on them so at this point we wouldn’t consider a home with smaller dogs. Mazda is super friendly has just had a dental and is ready to go. He is on the smaller size scale of males.

A few of the boys just reminding everyone who has offered to help at our first Tuesday night walking group.

6.30pm at Drumpellier Park and lasting around 90 minutes. A slightly different proposition to our normal Sunday walks thus will get the dogs a little more time in not such a large group to socialise and meet different situations.

See you on the 24th

Today marks 1 year of Raya being overlooked in our care.
Kennel Raya was to be honest a bit of a nightmare.
Bouncy, noisy and realistically just a pest for attention.
Last week Raya moved into a foster home and home life Raya is completely different, in fact she is now perfect Raya.
She has settled straight into home life, enjoys her walks and attention. She still can be pully out on her walk especially if she sees little furries or cats however this girl is just a completely different proposition in a home environment.
Please give her a chance of joining your family permanently and we guarantee you won’t be disappointed.
