Rehoming
Spring always marks a time of new beginnings and March has certainly delivered it’s share of fresh starts and happy endings.
Cedric, Mason, Lady, Bruno, George all found themselves a sofa. Also rehomed was pony Suzanna, who trotted off to pastures new after Tia were asked to help.
Recently rehomed – Mason
Mason is settling in well! His mom says it’s like having a small horse in the house. What a good boy.
Be happy big fella.
Recently rehomed – George
Gorgeous George went to his new home last Saturday, and has taken to his new life like a duck to water! Until now, George had only ever lived in kennels, but he’s already proving how quickly and easily these beautiful dogs can adjust to life in a home.
His new family tell us… “He’s doing so well. He’s already carrying his toys around & slept all the way through last night”
Dogs looking for homes – Kelsey, Kathleen, Arthur
George might have bagged himself a home, but his siblings – Kelsey, Kathleen, and Arthur – are still looking! George’s mates Lilly and Teff are also waiting for their chance. Like George, they are all lovely, sociable, well-adjusted dogs who we expect would settle quickly into home & family life.
Black beauty Kelsey is a little cracker who loves doing twirls on her lead when you first set off! However she soon settles and is then an absolute pleasure to walk. She’s an affectionate girl who loves a fuss.
She shares a kennel with Arthur who tells her off for taking up too much room in bed. But Kelsey’s not bothered. Arthur’s “complaints” go straight over her head and when he’s not looking… she just stretches out those lovely long legs a little bit more! A girl needs her beauty sleep after all!

Dogs looking for homes – Jimmy
And here’s our lovely Scottish lad, Jimmy.
This boy loves being part of a home and is more than ready to find his forever family. Jim a sweet natured boy who loves people & is always delighted to see you.
- He gives the best hugs and kisses
- He is clean in the house and has settled well in to his foster family’s routine
- Jim loves to play with his toys and collect slippers!
- He loves travelling in the car and doing zoomies!
- Jim will settle when left for a few hours
- He lives happily with another male hound and has been friendly with other breeds
- Jim will make a great family pet and could live with sensible, older children
- Jim can get worried by loud noises, and will need his own safe & quiet space
In the words of his foster Mum “whoever adopts Jimmy will get a smashing new member of the family. This wee boy deserves the best”
Thanks to all involved in rehoming, and here’s to more happy tails as we head further into Spring!

Lola – good news!
Many of you will remember Lindrick Loner… she last raced at Sheffield on the 19th October 2020. She was then given away/ rehomed by her trainer. She spent the next three years churning out lurcher pups on an allotment in Sheffield. We eventually got her two years ago.
About eighteen months ago, she bagged herself the perfect home with Percy. Sadly Percy died a year later, but his place was quickly filled with Percy2… (Rami, one of the dogs chucked in the canal in Leeds).
Just as Mason was heading off to pastures new, she collapsed at her home.
200 miles later, a stop off at Conan vets in Dingwall and back to Tia at 10pm… poor Lola was paralysed down her right hand side. The prognosis not good. Iona from Moray Coast came out that Wednesday and we both jumped with delight when her right foot twitched.
48 hours later, and she was up and in the garden, albeit wobbly, and we’re glad to say she has continued to recover well (after a few ups and downs). Another four more weeks of kennel rest and hopefully she can go home.
It is a common injury in greyhounds, and thankfully some of them make a full recovery. She is a lovely old girl, and is happy for the time being back in the kennels.
