The story of SLIPPERS and BOOTSOn 04/11/2024 a member of the public arrived at our kennels with a greyhound that she had pulled OUT of a canal
This greyhound was given the name SLIPPERS (red coat in photos). A few hours later we received a call from the dog warden regarding a second greyhound that had been pulled out the same canal We went to collect the second greyhound from the finders (blue coat and first photo) This greyhound was given the name BOOTS. We were able to trace through their microchips that they are both ex racing greyhounds.

Yes we do know who the dogs are, who trained them and probably who rehomed them. Further details will follow. And that i promise…
And if anyone gets really bored over the holiday period you could always read the 76 page New Strategy document from the GBGB, titled
” A Good Life For Every Greyhound “
Greyhounds deserve the highest level of care not only during their
racing career but also in their retirement that follows.
The Government recognises the genuine concerns some people have
about parts of the sport and I’m pleased to see this five year plan set
out how everyone involved in greyhound racing has a role to play in
improving welfare. The Government welcomes the Good Life for every
Greyhound strategy and the positive progress the Greyhound Board
are continuing to make.
