Lennon (Let it be)
born 5/01/21
His brothers and sisters are all named after Beatles songs. Come Together, Revolution, Sergeant Pepper, the lot. Another tough racer who needs a new career. Lennon was racing up until eight weeks ago although the writing had been on the wall for a while. Eleven wins at Doncaster and thirty-two kilos of love. In Doncaster with his trainer still.
Needs someone to change his name to Yesterday, The Long and Winding Road, Hello Goodbye.
“We had the pleasure of taking this gorgeous boy out of kennels for the morning and he was so happy and excited to meet us. His trainer told us he loves being made a fuss of and he really does!
Lennon needed a little help getting into the car but I’m sure he would learn to jump in in no time. He laid straight down and was great on the journey, despite it all being so new. He loved having a sniff around when we first arrived and then walked happily and calmly on his lead. He enjoyed being out front but never pulled and was calm when we saw other dogs. He just looked across at them and carried on walking. Even when a smaller dog was barking at him, he showed very little interest, other than a quick glance. Lennon didn’t behave as if this was his first time out of the kennel environment and it was hard to believe he’d never been to the park before so we think he would settle quickly into his new home. He is a really kind and beautiful boy who will make someone very happy”.
Welcome Lennon.

Swanley (Swanley Bridge)
born Nov 2021
Came last in his three trials. He ran alone in two! Connections were so embarrassed that he hasn’t left the yard since. A fabulous tuxedo greyhound.
Ready to embrace a new career trying out bed fails. Swanley is in Doncaster.
Bravo Swanley. Bravo.

Meet Darcy. This beautiful girl is six years old and in need of a fresh start. Darcy was originally a Tia girl, but massive thanks to Clare for taking her in.
She is fully house trained, and ok to be left for up to 4 hours. Although she was very reactive to walk initially, she is now making good progress on the lead when meeting other breeds. However, she must go to an experienced home, one with no other dogs, small furries or young children (under 10), and ideally one with previous knowledge of sighthounds and/ or reactive dogs, in order to continue her training and not fall back into bad habits!
If you can help Darcy find that forever home, please get in touch for more info by messenger or ringing Clare @ Humber Retired Greyhounds on 07722 179342.

Harry (Salacres Harry)
d.o.b. 22/03/20
Another one who could go around Towcester blindfold. Harry doesn’t appear to be impressed with the David Bailey stuff.
A forty-kilo contender who owes racing nothing. Heart of oak and deserves his retirement. Fit as a fiddle.
Harry is with his trainer in Nottingham, who would like him in a home sooner rather than later.

Palermo (Salacres Palermo)
d.o.b. 22.07.20
Dear God, what have you got on.
Gorgeous little 26 kilo blue girl. Raced only last week and was beaten by her kennel mate. Handbags at dawn for that one. Palermo has nothing to prove, and it is time a suitable sofa was found. Racing can be a tough game when you are a fairy.
Could someone save this girl from her trainer’s fashion sense.

Otis (Ruffian Han)
born November 2020
“Otis is a lovely calm and quiet boy. He jumps into the car by himself and travels well, laying down for the journey. Otis walks very calmly and quietly on his lead and enjoys having a good sniff around. We saw other dogs and some partridge but other than pricking up his ears and having a good look, he didn’t react, even when a small dog barked at him. We walked for about 3-4km and whilst Otis was fine with that distance, we got the impression he would also be happy with shorter walks. Otis is very friendly even when he doesn’t know you but reserves the best of his affection for his special people and you’ll know he’s settled and you’ve won his trust when you start to see his happy face and waggy tail. Otis is a gorgeous looking, sweet natured boy who will be the perfect addition to someone’s family”.
Lovely calm friendly sort. Nine wins, finishing back in May. Took umbrage at being shouldered out the way at the first bend and was red carded for life.
Sensible boy! Still with his trainer in Doncaster. Give Deb a ring if you are interested.
