Introducing Joey

Full of joy Joey (Bangon The Clock) is a stunning, shiny black boy, who is full of love.

Newly retired, Joey is busily soaking up all the excitement the big wide world has to offer - enjoying trips to several local parks and walks with different volunteers.

Socialisation is going well. Joey walks beautifully on the lead, by your side. He is curious about smaller breeds, yet is getting more & more used to them. He also embraces other external noises (children, bicycles, ducks etc).

We'll be updating his profile over the coming weeks and Joey will also enjoy a couple of overnight foster experiences to get him used to household sounds and etiquette. So far, we have discovered that he will make a wonderful companion - so if tall, dark & handsome is your thing, please come and meet Joey🐾

Meet Mason – A Day in the Life of a Foster Hound! 💙
We had the pleasure of spending the day with the very handsome Mason, a gentle greyhound currently looking for his forever home through Home Run Hounds.

From the moment he hopped into the car (with ease, might I add!), Mason was an absolute dream. He settled quickly, travelled beautifully, and although he was slightly less enthusiastic about jumping out of the car at the end of the day (relatable, right?), he took everything in his stride.

We enjoyed a long walk together — Mason walks slightly ahead on the lead but never pulls, and he wasn’t phased at all by other dogs we passed. Back at home, he enjoyed exploring before he found “his” bed and happily relaxed there, soaking up a few chin rubs and offering a polite sniff now and then. Not once did he try to get on the sofa — such a respectful house guest!

He was wonderful with our 11-year-old son too, going to him for affection and being calm and gentle throughout.

Later on, we went into the village, where Mason navigated stairs both up and down at the train station like a pro. It was a rainy day so the park was quiet, but he wasn’t too sure about bikes whizzing past and was a little cautious walking through the busy pub to the garden — but he’s still learning, and with time and patience, he’ll grow more confident.

Mason really is a lovely, laid-back lad with a lot of love to give. It's completely baffling why he has been with us so long and we really hope he finds his forever home very soon!

HAPPY HOMING MINNIE 🎉

When Joy Mackinder and her husband got in touch wondering if we had a friend for her greyhound Dream we immediately thought of of several "possibles" but we knew that Dream would be the one to choose.

Minnie was the lucky hound and Dream chose wisely. You can see from the photos that they've become best mates right from the start.

We just love it when it all "clicks" into place. Joy says she settled in so well and is getting along with all the other dogs she meets too. What a little star ⭐️🤩

Best from our Broadmarsh Kennels had a lovely day out with volunteer Dawn Nunn at Croome Park. Here is what Dawn has to say

Athlacca Best Best Dog VH DBL BE

"Best jumped into the car with no problem and quickly settled. On arrival, once the hatch was opened he just stood looking round at the new surroundings and didn't attempt to jump out until called.

At the beginning of the walk he pulled strongly but he did settle and went on a serious sniffarri! He met families with young children, people with dogs and he was so good even when a couple of excited children came running towards him.

He took all the fuss he could get. There was no reaction to other dogs, large or small, in fact he greeted a couple of terriers with a sniff nose to nose and a tail wag. No interest shown in the swans or ducks on the lake even though they made a lot of noise. Everyone we met loved him and wanted to pat him and he absolutely charmed all of them, really enjoying all the cuddles.

Back at home he was initially unsure in the house, going from room to room, but he settled when we got some toys out and he played nicely and let me take toys back. Only issue we had was getting him in the car for the return journey - don't think he wanted to go back to kennels 🥺- so had to lift him in!"

If you would like to meet Best .... please give us a call or email us.

Happy Homed Jake - Tromora Jake

Andy and Emma were heartbroken when their beloved greyhound, William, went over the rainbow bridge. They weren’t sure if they could love another but as the days turned into weeks, their house felt quiet and empty. They knew the only solution to make it feel like home again was to adopt a greyhound.

They came to kennels to meet a greyhound, whose write up on our website seemed perfect but when they met him, it didn’t just click so they were open to meeting others. Enter Jake, a volunteers favourite. Being a big greyhound didn’t faze them as they were used to big dogs having William. Jake worked his magic and it was instant love.

Jake can be a little uncertain about the big wide world, Andy and Emma are working with him to grow his confidence as they know that Jake is a smasher. He has made friends with the neighbour’s cat and has enjoyed helping Emma in the garden, showing off his toy playing skills and zoomies!

We are all so pleased that Jake has found Andy and Emma as we couldn’t have wished for a better home for him. Jake will help to heal their broken hearts with his snuggles and cuddles.
We look forward to hearing about their adventures .

THANK YOU HALESOWEN FOOTBALL CLUB

We were delighted to be invited to do a bucket collection at Halesowen Football Club today by club owner Keith McKenna, general Manager Craig (Stokey) and friend & supporter of HRH, John Preston.

The weirdest day, ranging from heavy rain to glorious sunshine saw them hosting AFC Telford United and the crowds were incredibly generous, with £229.74 in the buckets. As we are run purely by volunteers, every penny will be spent on our homeless hounds🐾

Gorgeous greys Archie, Popeye, Harry, Drummer, Nancy and Paddy came along for cuddles and to raise awareness of Greyhounds as Pets and we were also joined by John's homed hound Duke.

We received such a warm welcome (which included drinks & chips😋) and have been invited back next season too💖

It was a lovely day, meeting some really nice people. Thank you everyone for your interest and your kindness⚽

Volunteer Ruth Reynolds often visits Kush at Hinksford Farm Shop, near Swindon and he wanted to help our Charity so agreed to have a Collection Pot for us, but not only that, agreed to us putting a banner by his shop to encourage his customers to support our Charity and maybe even consider a Greyhound as a pet.

A wonderful man, a great Farm Shop and a lovely gesture, what more could we ask for.

Thank you Kush.

Volunteer Claire Evans at our Broadmarsh Kennels nr Stourbridge took the ever so handsome Paddy for a trip to Haden Hill Park, here is what she said

Only Paddy Paddy Dog UH XKR BK/WH

"Paddy is a treat to take out:

🚗 - Happy to jump in the car and settles quickly
🐾🐾 - Walks nicely with just a bit of pulling
💕 - Very happy to meet people and accept a fuss
🐶 - Interested in other breeds, particularly those running off lead, but didn’t show signs of being reactive
🦆- Enjoyed watching the ducks - may have liked to get a little closer!
🐀 - Was quick to spot a rat who ran in front of us - perhaps we could hire him out to Birmingham City Council?!!!

Lovely Boy - hope he finds his people soon!"

Would you like to meet Paddy?

A MASSIVE THANK YOU to Steph and Ade Boswell volunteers of Home Run Hounds

The 2 below make 49 and 50 fosters for them both, and every foster over a weekend gives us valuable information about the Greyhounds they take home for a few days which enables us to find them the perfect home

https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10161252940843775&id=758268774&rdid=3o7LheFMRpO2A7Dl #

Steph and Ade said "thanks to Home Run Hounds Greyhound Charity for giving us the opportunity to take these guys off site each weekend to get a doggy fix", however, we cannot thank them enough for their time, patience and kindness.

A big thank you to Tamworth Pets at Home for supporting us during their Pets Foundation Easter appeal. And an even bigger thank you to everyone who donated at Tamworth Pets at Home. Your support makes a huge difference..

It was another busy morning on our last day at the Easter Appeal with homeless hounds, Star and Evie. They were both brilliant, took it all in their stride.

Ryan (PaH colleague) has definitely become a greyhound convert too. 👍

Thank you once again to Pets At Home Tamworth and to everyone who donated ...it really does makes a huge difference.

Some of our Watford Gap, Shenstone Kennels volunteers enjoyed a lovely morning at Tamworth on Saturday at the St Georges Day Festival.

Have a read ......

Caroline Cotterill .... I had the pleasure of taking Honey to the St. George’s Day festival at Tamworth park today. Honey coped remarkably well, considering the amount of people, noise , other dogs and distractions. We had a good walk around, checked out the birds of prey - and Honey showed no prey drive here. We had a walk by the horses - who were part of the jousting team - and Honey showed no reaction. No interest shown in other dogs who we walked by, wonderful with children who all wanted to stroke Honey.

Honey had a bit of a scare when a loud noise disturbed her, but she was able to calm down and once settled was happy to walk around the park taking everything in.
Missy and Star joined Honey on her adventure today and Honey enjoyed having Missy with her for support.

Marc Williams... I took Missy (in yellow) to Tamworth St George’s day festival. Despite all of the noise, smells, dogs, and loads of people everywhere she was rock solid. We walked round and through the crowds no problem. She was an absolute charmer as well and got loads of fuss along side Honey (in red) who also did really well.
Star was there as well but he needs to gain a little more confidence, but he did well considering.

Lucy, Thomas & Kat joined kennel dogs Star, Honey & Missy to meet and greet the public. Lots of interest and fuss given to the hounds, and plenty of sausages consumed! Lord Mayor of Tamworth, Gareth Coates stopped by to give Thomas some fuss and have a chat.

So ... If you are looking for two rock solid hounds... look no further than Honey and Missy. If you want to help Star gain more confidence, why not Foster or volunteer?

A Gentle Soul Seeking a Patient Heart: Meet Ellie!

Could you be the calm and loving home Ellie needs to blossom?

Ellie is a beautiful and gentle brindle greyhound who is currently looking for her forever home. This sweet girl is nervous of the world around her and needs a special owner who can offer her time, patience, and a safe, quiet environment to help her gain confidence at her own pace.

One of our volunteers Kay and her partner Pete have been working patiently with Ellie to get her to the point that she's ready for her forever home and they have done wonders 🥰👏

What we've learned about lovely Ellie:

* Building Confidence: Ellie is making progress! She now jumps up to the back of the car (though needs a little help with her back end).
* Lead Manners: She walks nicely on a lead, but currently benefits from a harness for added security in case of a nervous reaction.
* Interested but Cautious: On walks in familiar quiet areas, Ellie shows interest in her surroundings (birds, geese, swans), but not reactive.
* Nervous of Strangers: Ellie is particularly nervous of unfamiliar people, especially men, as well as dogs off lead, small dogs, and children.
* Needs a Safe Space: At home, Ellie appreciates having a quiet, safe space, where she can retreat and feel secure.
* Growing Confidence Indoors: While initially reserved, Ellie has started to explore more indoors and even enjoys a playful "stealing mission" for toys and slippers once she feels more comfortable!
* Positive Reinforcement: Ellie responds well to gentle encouragement and praise,especially when using consistent cues like "walk by" in challenging situations. She also knows her name.
* Household Noises: She seems unfazed by typical household noises like the kettle, TV, washing machine, and dishwasher.
* No Guarding Issues: Ellie has shown no signs of food or toy guarding.
* Potential for a Companion Hound Home: Ellie is happy in a kennel environment with other greyhounds, so she may also thrive in a home with a calm and confident canine companion.

Ellie needs a special home with:
* Adults only or a very calm adult family.
* A quiet and predictable environment.
* Owners who are patient and understanding of her nervousness.
* A willingness to introduce her to new situations and people slowly and positively.
* Ideally, a secure garden where she can relax and explore safely.
* Consideration for a calm and confident resident dog who could help her build confidence.

Ellie is a truly gentle soul who has so much love to give once she feels safe and secure. While she may take time to adjust, the rewards of seeing her blossom and gain confidence will be immense.

Could you be the patient and loving person or family to give Ellie the second chance
she deserves?

If you think you can offer Ellie the perfect forever home, please contact us.

Let's help this gorgeous girl find her happy ending!

We will try anything to get these two beautiful hounds Hughie (Black) and Tim (Brindle) a viewing.

Hughie and Tim are now our longest stayers at our Broadmarsh kennels and we just cannot understand why they are constantly overlooked.

Glynncross Tim Tim Dog UN KQX BE/BD 07/19
Hugh Adventure Hughie Dog TS X12 BK 09/18

Hughie and Tim have a few "quirks" but nothing that cannot be worked on, they need adopters who are willing to give them a chance ... we will even consider Foster Carers for these two to get them our of kennels and into a new environment to help them find that "forever home".

If you would like to talk to us about fostering, or have space in your "hearts" to give Tim or Hughie a chance, then please do get in touch with us.
