Sadie

       

Sadie is just coming up 4 years old. She has been in a home for the past 11 months. She has been returned as they are having a baby. To be honest she isn’t the same dog that we rehomed. Her nerves are shot.

She would be best going to live with another dog to regain her confidence.

Rocco

Rocco

This was Rosshill Rocco bn Jan 2021 in his prime…..

Not a lot of thanks he got did he Anthony Upton? GBGB Trainer.

Don’t worry, they know he is safe with us.

 

This was the original post..

Urgent foster home needed for Rocco. He is 3 years old and has been in a home for a few months but doesn’t really like all the attention that he is getting from the little human person in the house. The trainer has said he will take him back and put him to sleep. The owners do not want that and just want him to get another home with no little people…
He is currently in Rochdale. If a foster home isn’t found he will come up here, but ideally he needs rehoming down there.
From his foster mom..
The handsome Rocco is looking for his forever home. He is 3 years old and house trained. He’s a big softie loves cuddles actually smiles lol. Can be quite strong on the lead. Make a lovely couch pooch 💙💙 he responds very well to attention 💙💙

 

 

Turbo & Rascal

Turbo & Rascal

Turbo & Rascal came here on the 18th May, kindly fetched up by a volunteer.

These 10 year old brothers have been kept on allotment for years, prior to that at Askern dog track. I have dealt with their owner for years. He paid for them to be kept on the allotment £100 a month. The allotments have to remove all the animals by August. Of course I said we would help.

Both are not castrated, Turbo was peeing blood. Has he given Tia a donation? Not a penny. Thanks Chris, you are a diamond……Not.

These 2 boys have to go together, how they would love to explore the Scottish Highlands..

Lola

 Lola..
She has Jeremy ears for those who have lasted the distance. Her connections should hang their heads in shame over this little girl.
Lindrick Loner. dob 22.3.16.
More guts and tenacity in her paw than most of the block put together.
Lola was discovered on an allotment quite by chance.  Of course we said yes, and Lola, made the journey to Inverness the following day with Percy, thanks to yet another proper person.
Lola was born in Ireland and raced at Doncaster and Sheffield a staggering 120 times. In spite of being able to fit into your top pocket, Lola brought home the bacon on twenty six of those runs and came a close second in a further twenty two. Game as a pebble and frequently showing a clean pair of heels to much bigger racers. All they ever saw of her was her backside fading away in the distance.
A sofa and a happy end to her was denied and it is possible that she spent the next three years churning out diverse lurchers. There is no record of her having a greyhound litter and Lola was kept there for a purpose. As a tiny blue girl, there would have been no shortage of adopters fighting over her and our kennels were not that far away. Why the hell didn’t they bring her to us.
Lola isn’t exactly brimming with vitality. Her nerves are in shreds and she is beaten down. Shabby and scabby, teeth are horrendous but her depression is giving us the most concern for now. We think she will be OK with a good dose of TLC,  and perhaps go on to her long overdue reward of a home.  We’ve got you Lola, it’s going to be okay.
This shouldn’t have happened.

 

 

Joey

Poor Joey, he is so quite and unassuming that I’d even forgotten to put him on the website.

He has been here since December.

He last raced at Kinsley in October 2020 and was sent to a rescue centre, who have unfortunately lost their kennels. Royston Animal Welfare, where Ripley came from.

He has just gone 7 years old and the chances of him finding a home are very slim….a middle aged black dog, amongst hundreds of other black dogs.

He is no bother though,

This little beauty is called Chic.  She isn’t three years old yet.

She doesn’t like racing. She is a very timid little poppet who needs to go with another greyhound to show her the ropes.

She is currently with her trainer in Ripley, Derbyshire..
