2025 has finally come to an end. This year has been fraught with frustration, exhaustion and heartbreak. We’ve been dealing with more than our fair share of issues. The staff are all exhausted from working double time due to staff and dog illness and heartbroken at the loss of our Steff in April. We are hoping to go into the new year with a fresh start and a brighter outlook.
Despite the struggles of this year, it has not been all doom and gloom. 61 greyhounds found their forever homes here in the UK as well as in Belgium and France. We got to meet some wonderful adopters who have opened their homes to our retirees.
We’ve had tremendous support throughout the year from our volunteers who have helped at Shows and at our Summer and Christmas BBQ events. We would also like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported us this past year and bought off our Amazon wish list. You have all been magnificent in keeping us supplied with tins for the picky eaters, dog treats, kennel supplies to keep the place smelling sweet, biscuits and cakes to keep all the staff going and to all our kennel sponsors, we couldn’t do this without you.
Massive thank you to everyone who has done their own monetary fundraisers for us to help support the kennel. We have been so grateful for those donations and they’ve kept us in supplies of items we don’t put on our wish lists.
Thanks go to our dedicated regular walkers and those of you that help with walking when you can. We appreciate all the help with giving the dogs daily exercise away from the kennel.
Thank you to Bella for her continued support with Knit For Hounds and to Greyhound Trust Medway and Kent for organising the monthly Riverside Country Park Walk. There are so many people to mention that have supported us this year and we thank you all for your continued support.
Our goal for next year is to find more homes for the greyhounds in our care and to get back to regularly posting on our socials and keeping our website up to date. We are also hoping to not be back and forth so much at the vets this year!
We wish you all a Happy New Year and hoping 2026 is a good year!
