Over the last few months of 2024 we have managed to find homes for a few of our long term residents. We are looking to continue this work into 2025 and hopefully we can find sofas for our elder/long term residents.
Skeelos falls into this category , Born in August 2016 Skeelos has continually been over looked.
He has improved his reactivity leaps and bounds and now can walk past most other breeds, he hasn’t yet mastered small white fluffy dogs however this surely can be managed if you know he is likely to react when he sees them.
Surely there is a family out there that can offer this well deserving boy his chance.

After being with us for 41 months we are delighted to announce that Jack will not be making it 42 as he will be moving out to a join a family. This boy has been overlooked for far too long and yet again it goes to show the correct home is out there for every greyhound, some just take a little longer than others to find it.

Betsy is looking for her forever home and this is long overdue fur such a loving girl.
Betsy is becoming very playful and loves to throw about her teddies and her Cleo. She is also guilty of stealing and shredding any paper that’s left about but I’m sure you will agree it’s a small price to pay or it will encourage you to tidy up 😀.
Betsy can live with other greyhounds and she is ok with other breeds, fine around children and fully housetrained. All she needs is a forever family. Fur more details why not get in touch.

Beautiful Bella joined us on our first walk of 2025 and was a star. After initially getting a bit excited over an off lead collie chasing a ball and wanting to join in, she soon settled down and walked really well. Bella has been spotless in her kennel since arrival so gives the impression house training will be straightforward.

The weather gods appear to hand been kind to us for our first walk of 2025. Whilst tubs forecast to be a tropical 6 degrees around the time of the walk please just be aware that there may still be some rough patches underfoot along the forest section of the route. We look forward to seeing you there.

Over the years we have homed a number of dogs to families in the Shetland islands. In November last year Trevor made the journey far North to join his family and on the back of reading his story Buster also made the journey far north.
Families didn’t know that we would home as far north.
We are delighted to say yes we are happy to home to The Shetland Islands the same way we are happy to home in Glasgow.
We have infrastructure in place where we can conduct either an in person home visit or a remote home visit and this gives us the info we need to match up with a suitable dog.
Transporting a dog is also fairly straightforward so if any islanders are thinking of adopting a greyhound in 2025 then please get in touch for full details. One thing we promise is you won’t regret your decision.

With local temperatures forecast to hit well into minus figures this coming week please be aware that if we feel it isn’t safe to travel or isn’t beneficial to the dogs we are likely to cancel any appointments at short notice..

As the big man gets his feet up in Lapland getting a well deserved rest we would just like to say on behalf of the homeless dogs thank you to everyone who has donated anything, especially this month that has helped make Christmas for the dogs. Everything from the Wishlist has/will be put to good use as will the bedding, treats and everything in between.

25/12/2024

Well the day has finally arrived, the final window of our advent calendar and all the dogs featured still looking for a home would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and hope that a home can be just around the corner for them as families settle down to enjoy the day.

Christmas Eve and we have a very special dog to revisit today. Stitch is such a people dog, he loves playtime, he loves being around people and really deserves a home to spoil him rotten and spend time playing around with him. Yes he is handsome so let’s see if Stitch in time will get his family.

Window 21 is a little bit of a different message. Over the festive period we know that it’s special time to spend with your loved ones. However all we ask is can you take 10 minutes out of your day to like and share our social media posts over this period to keep the homeless dogs in peoples minds. You just never know your share can lead to a dog finding its home.
