Update on Dogs
We are rehoming plenty of dogs direct from their trainers. I have just added a load more on the rehoming page.
We have dogs in Nottingham, Derbyshire and now Stockport, Manchester who are looking for a new start. And of course a few here, but we specialise in dogs that no one else wants, so it’s a bit trickier for them.
One of the many things I don’t like about this move, of which we had no choice to safeguard the Charity, is that I don’t get to meet the dogs and get to know them. I do miss that. And of course seeing all the excited owners coming to pick up their precious new dogs.
Two particularly giddy people have just bagged these 2 sisters from a trainer in Nottingham…Thanks guys, I know you will all be very happy…
Mia and Gracie, although you don’t know it yet, you are two very lucky greyhound girls…
RUPERT!!
When Rupert was fetched to us by the Police in January 2022, it was clear that he had had a very hard life. He had been found tied to rubbish bins in Doncaster town centre. The dog wardens weren’t working and the rspca didn’t want him. They had no one to send out…to be fair if they had seen a photo of him they would have made the effort, not for Rupert, but for the media/cash opportunity he would have provided.
Emaciated just under 20 kg, exhausted, his lip hanging off and an infected mouth, too sore to eat.
Injuries consistent with badger baiting.
He stole my heart and everyone else’s who he ever met. Such a gentle soul. When he was well enough he was neutered and his lip stitched back by our vet at the time, the fabulous Chris from Donaldson’s, in our own vet room…which I miss immensely. He made the trip to Scotland with us and all the other animals. A few people had wanted him but I needed a special home for Rupert, a very special one and thankfully just a month ago his mom & dad travelled from Tobermory to come and get him. It was really hard to let him go but that’s what we do and just look at him now.
If you are ever in Tobermory and you see Rupert with his mom & dad, please send me pictures…
UPDATE….me and Jo have just had a cheeky trip to the Isle of Mull to see Rupert….It was amazing to see him so happy…even if his waistline is expanding….no mom, there are no ribs to be seen there….
Lovely…
Poor, poor dog.
Crayford tonight 19.37 and No 2 dog Burrow Fantastic is being dragged along whilst parading & being sick. Lifted from under the stomach & sick again then forced to race for £55 run money.

Percy
Great old fella who needs a taste of paradise before the bridge. Ten years old in a few months though you wouldn’t know it and has an eyes for the ladies. Percy arrived here a few days ago and thinks everything is hilarious. Nice neighbours and the foods epic! We think he has always been kenneled by himself so we are looking for a special greyhound savvy home.
Big lemon at 32 kgs. We would be thrilled to see him on a sofa.
Church St Millie
Church St Millie bn 8th September 2019.
She last raced at Doncaster on the 29th April 2023.
50 races she had under her belt, including 9 firsts and 7 seconds. Not a bad career.
True to form she ended up on the streets in South Yorkshire and ended up at Cliffe kennels. She had a week there and was picked up by Glencoe’s mom and dad on Tuesday 19th March.
Today, Sunday the 24th March she has bagged herself a new home. One where she will be safe and loved for the rest of her life.
Thanks to everyone, again…
I have been typing the same story for the past 28 years…
Still, there isn’t a problem with the racing industries there??
