River (Monbeg River)
born Jan 22
Likes to go for walks and be out and about. Meeting new people, that sort of thing. No-one told him that you had to move a bit faster to get on a track. River was last in his only race, back in Aug 23 at Enniscorthy. Hammered by 14 lengths, River found himself on a ferry bound for Doncaster and a fresh start. Maybe he was a late bloomer. Six godawful trials later and the trainer refused to be further embarrassed. Even our Branno beat him with ease.
This lad has been waiting for a home to show up and and spring him from the kennel of shame.
His trainer couldn’t agree more!

Dolly (Kilrue Dolly)
born June 22
Her career in the noble profession, for which she was bred lasted 104 days. We think the 18 lengths trouncing might have something to do with it. Her connections headed to the bar.
Dolly doesn’t care. Life is great. Terrific. Look at me. Another tiny girl, looking for her sofa. Everyone loves her and there will be some tears when she goes.

Salacres Bonnie
born 20.8.21
Twenty wins, and was in the van with the boys last night at Towcester. Bonnie came in last but didn’t disgrace herself as she is a pro! She’ll forge ahead next time and dazzle all the boys, you’ll see. All they will see is her backside. A straightforward lady in the kennel, who can be relied on to get on with her mate. A godsend to any trainer (and rescue).
There won’t be a dry eye in the house when Bonnie goes off to her family but her trainer would rather make it sooner than later. At four years old, Bonnie owes the game nothing and her connections would like to see her finish in one piece. They will miss her though.

Will (Chasing Williebe)
born Sept 21
A lovely friendly sort of lemon, who is great with his kennel mates. Loves everyone. He forgot to pack the talent he had shown in Ireland and hasn’t troubled the judges at Doncaster. Last spotted at said track from some distance away, back in November 24.
In short, his career leaves much to be desired! So what, even champions have to hang up their muzzles at some point and he does have eight wins to brag about.
Medium size dog who should be on his own sofa now. No-one has looked at him twice.

Reeves (Cushie Reeves)
born Feb 2022
Hit the deck back in Feb at Doncaster and also managed to get disqualified for life to boot. We have looked at the form that day and it seems to have been an extremely rough race. Horrible. If you look closely, you can see the huge scar on his back from the sixty stitches he needed. His trainer tells us there were no internal injuries and he has made a full recovery.
The way he was leaping around would confirm that. Could hardly stand still for the camera and was the friendliest chap we have seen for a while. His adopter will have a lifetime of stories to tell/embellish as a bonus.
“We have been lucky to walk Reeves on a number of occasions. He is a fabulous boy who absolutely loves people and wants to be friends with everyone he meets. He is great with other hounds and he hasn’t shown much interest in the other breeds he’s seen whilst out and about, including smaller dogs such as Cockapoos. Reeves really enjoys being out and about and travels well in the car – jumping in by himself & laying straight down. He enjoys his adventures so much, he’s always a little reluctant to get out of the car upon his return to kennels. Reeves is a big boy but he is easy to walk and doesn’t pull on his lead. He’s a confident, happy go lucky dog so would probably be happy as an only dog or he could also live happily with another male or female Greyhound. Reeves is such a happy boy who is going to bring some lucky person so much joy”
Reeves is lucky to still be with us and deserves a special home.

Hugo
What a cracking little chap. He has been on an adventure lately, he found them completely over-rated and they make you late for dinner!
Thankfully, someone cared enough to ensure his safety and he travelled North yesterday. Hugo has settled in nicely, thank you very much and is bunking up with Ada. He is housetrained, having bed and breakfasted at a volunteers for a couple of nights so he has tasted the milk of human kindness at some point.
Hugo is five years old and needs to get back on a sofa asap. We suspect we will miss him as he is quite a charmer. Even Bob allowed him on the sacred chair.
A define no with cats.
Ring Deb.
