Hi!

I volunteer for Greyhound Rescue Fife and am increasingly worried about a black greyhound called Bob who is getting very distressed in kennels and has been waiting on a home for about 2.5 years. I wonder if it would be possible for you to help spread the word? GRF are continually posting on their page about him but to no avail. He is very frustrated in kennels as he has an active, clever mind. I'm desperately trying to spread the word more widely. The volunteers do their best but, with the number of greyhounds in the Centre, he only gets out of his kennel for a few minutes each day. It's actually now really heart-breaking to see him getting so anxious.

Here is some background information:

BOB is the centre’s longest serving resident at Greyhound Rescue Fife, now based in Kinross, and has been waiting for a home for about 2 ½ YEARS! Bob has recently turned 4 years old and has spent his whole life in a kennel.

Bob has never actually been raced and was a young adolescent when he arrived. He was initially full of joy and hope and would snuggle in for a cuddle and put his paw through the kennel bars to try to lure you back in for more affection.

But, well over 2 years later, Bob is not thriving at the kennels. Far from it. He is now sometimes an anxious boy and does not like to feel crowded. All the different walkers and volunteers has made him stressed and he needs to form a bond with just one or two people in a safe and calm environment.

For these reasons, he would not do well in a home with young children or other small animals (although he does get on well with his fellow hounds). Instead, he needs to realise his potential in a quiet, experienced home where love is always on tap but is not overwhelming for him, particularly in the early settling-in days. Bob is a very clever boy with an active mind. He loves zoomies, treats, toys and affection.

All of the other dogs that came from the same race ground at the same time over 2 years ago have found loving family homes.

Would anyone out there like to meet this deserving boy and give him a chance at happiness? Until then, poor Bob just waits and waits….and becomes more anxious about his situation.

If anyone is interested, they can call Celia at Greyhound Rescue Fife on 07826 244765 for more details.

Please don’t contact Help2Rehome about Bob, the details and phone number are above ⬆️

Please share.

Mari hasn’t had much interest 😢 we know everyone is busy, but can you please share her appeal to help her on her way? 🐶 thank you 🐾

Mari is a 12 year old Shepherd Mix, she is very sweet and looking for a calm retirement home.
Mari is chipped and neutered and also good with most other dogs, it just really depends how other dogs are with her. She’s very laid back and likes her space.
Mari would be best suited to a home with no kids, visiting children is fine.
Mari prefers women to men, but does tolerate men. She would be great with a retired active couple who still like the outdoors, or someone who is home most of the time.
Her favourite time is lazing in the garden and watching you cook. She also loves her treats and her food. She is good off the lead but her recall isn’t that great unless you have treats.
Mari however normally stays close by.
Mari eats a raw food and grain free diet, she does well with any grain free dog food.
Mari travels well in the car and sleeps in her own bed at night.
She is registered with the vets and can be left alone if you need to pop out.
For more information please email [email protected]

These two little dogs have just lost their mum and they can't go into her son's home because of friction with other dogs. Does anyone know of a rescue space or even could potentially offer them a home with all necessary checks in place please?

Please only leave helpful comments.

Buster is a 10 year old JRT, very loving, doesn't like loud bangs (fireworks, etc) and can get quite stressed because of them. He is happy if he has attention, a warm bed, plenty of food/treats, and will make his owner aware of phone ringing, door knocking but doesn't tolerate things being posted through the door (will shred if not careful).

Robbie, is an 11 year old (today) Scottie Terrier. He is more chilled than Buster and loves playing with a ball (fetch). He does need to be groomed regularly (8-10 weeks) as he can get quite scruffy looking! He too appreciates a caring home but not as clingy as Buster. Buster like home comfort, Robbie likes to mooch about outside and feel the wind in his hair (he's a bit of a tart!)

Do you have room in your heart and home for Olivia (and her octopus 🐙 💚)

We have 2-3weeks to find Olivia a pet free home Can you or someone you know help her??

So often in rescues conversations centre around what dogs can’t do, e.g. Olivia cannot live with other pets 🚫🐶🐱 But we should celebrate what she can do 🥳

🚗 Perfect passenger 🛌 she sleeps in the back seat
💐 Not currently being walked, she is more than content with sniffs and games in the garden
📚⚡️She learns SO fast! E.g patience doesn’t come to Olivia naturally, she’s got a head full of nonsense 🤣 HOWEVER, we are amazed to see her learn to sit and wait going through doors and not bulldoze her way through ☑️ In the right hands Olivia is capable of really progressing. This will take time and be a journey so will require real commitment but she is so worth it! And of course Behavioural support will be provided.
🥶She is so chilled in the house, she settles easily and loves to sleep! Work for home? She would lie by your feet until you are ready. Disclaimer, her snores can be heard over zoom calls 🐷💤
‼️💕🥰 Warning! Olivia can steals anyone’s heart in an instant. She is the most loving, adorable girl we’ve ever had the pleasure of caring for. The biggest cuddle bug of all time!

If you think you can provide Olivia with the home so needs, please read her profile and then complete an application for ASAP! https://www.staffiesmilesrescues.com/profile---olivia.html
