As many of you are aware, some bright spark ( very expensive marketing company no doubt ) has changed the way that people can choose the “Charity of their choice” to receive the lifeline vouchers. Which I have to say, are worth having. We have just saved £150 on a £240 shop.
To cut a long story short, bright spark has decided that the Charity has to be within a 20 mile radius restriction of the store….and so do you!! So no longer can you chose your preferred Charity…you just have to chose a local one.
This will impact us greatly for any new people wanting to support us, but I have been assured that if we are your chosen Charity that will still be the case.
A lot of Charities are not happy and rightly so. I have just spoken to Adam who is the Charity Co-Ordinator at Pets at Home. He says the radius restriction will be removed but he doesn’t know when. He has asked that we email in so he can put pressure on bright spark to sort it out asap…

After being in 2 foster homes Rocco has decided that he wants to live the life of luxury, on his own.
Whilst he is absolutely fine with other dogs out and about, he just doesn’t want to live with them.
Thanks to Andy for fetching him up a few weeks ago. He is settled in kennels but you can tell he wants to be out and back in a home….
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

The farrier came today. I was very scared, I’m scared about most things to be honest.
I do a lot of jumping which makes my mom jump too and shout “jesus Odin”.
My front shoes were welded on so I had to be sedated to get them off…it took ages but they are off now so I can go out with Tom & Joey. They’ll show me the ropes.
I don’t normally look over the door but I needed somewhere to rest my enormous head….I’ll be awake soon, I hope they have my tea ready, I missed lunch…
Odin…

With the greyhound industry in serious trouble, wouldn’t it be great if we had a rehoming centre back in Yorkshire.
I know of one trainer, just one of many who has over 200 dogs. Around 90 of them aren’t racing, they are just stuck in trainers kennels..
If only we had financial backing….we could do so much more good.

Where to start with this lad. I could slate the owners and the fact that he was in a driving team at the Royal Highland Show, but what is the point. Nothing will change.
I didn’t even want to go to the show but we needed a couple of nights away from here.
The first picture is of him in the stables at the show last Thursday. The next 2 pictures when he landed here Sunday night….Thanks Isla for transporting him.
And the next ones of him today, Tuesday, out in the field for the first time. He is so scared even the sound of the phone made him jump. He is a massive, almost skeletal 4 year old Clydesdale. Lets just hope we can get him right. He is available for sponsorship.
Welcome to Tia big lad…

Just a pony update…Zorro, Thor & Kenny all came in today for some spoiling…all originally from the death field in Wroot.
Little Kenny came to us at 2 weeks old. He was stood by his dead mother for days before we took him…oops, sorry that was me…
Thor was also stood by his dead mother for a fortnight, he was around 5 months old when we got him. He came with Zorro who was around the same age, he was fitting in the field, his mouth and flesh rotting away. Both had liver failure and we were advised to put them to sleep. Thor made a full recovery but Zorro still has liver damage. They are now 7yrs old.
Have a look at the video….it’s lovely….Deb

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.

I know that a lot of people aren’t interested in this stuff, but these are some of the people I’ve dealt with over the years. Please click on the link, page 5 onwards.
There is a disciplinary here on Rebecca Perkins. It makes for horrendous reading, but please don’t think it’s a one off.
Also featured is Mick Foley who desperately tried to get Mill Race off us, in one way or another and Troy Bedford who Lola the blue girl featured below was given away by all though years ago to churn out lurchers on an allotment.
There are thousands of greyhounds out there that are in perilous conditions. All of which the GBGB are trying to keep the lid on….
One day the lid will come off…Deb
