Daisy is a very pretty 2 1/2 year old blue and white Greyhound female. Daisy is an ex-racer but broke a toe recently and so she was retired. The toe was removed and as she previously lost a toe on the other foot, she only has three on each of her front two paws. She has spent some time in a house following her foot operation, and is nearly there with her house-training.
Daisy is a very nervous girl who is wary of human contact and any loud noises or sudden movements. Daisy is quiet and is non destructive and is fine with other dogs including small ones. Daisy needs a quiet house with no young children and preferably another dog who will give her confdence.
She needs a patient owner who wants to nurture a dog, give her space and doesn’t expect instant love and devotion. Daisy will be a bit of a project, but when she settles down she will make a wonderful pet. She cannot go to a home with cats.

Freya is a 1 1/2 year old black Greyhound female who has come to us from a flapping track. She has no injuries but was just not up to speed. She is a happy, friendly girl who is not too bouncy for her age. She is a sociable girl who likes other dogs and of course like all Greyhounds loves people.
Freya met some children the other day and approached them with her tail wagging and her eyes bright, so maybe somewhere in her past she has met children before ~ who knows. At the moment Freya is not looking her best as she is underweight and has had a flea allergy so her coat is thin and poor.
She has been bathed, flea treated, and is putting on weight now she has settled in. In just a short time she will have a coat so shiny that you will be able to see your face in it! Freya cannot go to a home with cats.

Meet the beautiful Minstrel. Minstrel is a 15 month old Lurcher boy who recently made his way into our care from a stray pound situation. After some time in kennels he has now moved to a foster placement. He loves everyone and is currently existing with four other dogs 3 Pointies and 1 Collie - 2 of each sex.
In the main Minstrel walks well on leash but is still a little keen when he see’s birds and squirrels etc and is not cat friendly. He has been allowed to run off leash in a fully enclosed privately owned area and can be a little rough in his play, the other dogs to stand up to him and tell him off and he takes notice but we would not trust him with a smaller dog so some work needs to be done.
Minstel is clean in the house but has to be encouraged to go to the toilet in the garden as at the moment he is so young and nosey he often forgets to go when out on leash walks. Minstrel has been left for short periods of time in the company of other dogs and has settled well however whoever offers him a home has to realise that he is still a young dog getting used to home life so would be best suited to a family around alot of the time.
He would love the company of another playful hound to play with but can be a bit full on at the moment so it would need to be another young dog that understands Lurcher games.
At the moment Minstrel is a big puppy and has to be watched for puppyish mouthing type behaviour its quite obvious that up to this point he has never been allowed to behave like a puppy or enjoy a puppyhood.
Although he is good with people we feel he would be best suited to a home with older children as he is quite bouncy and clumsy still and may knock younger children over. Minstrel is good in the car settles down and travels well but sometimes needs a little help to get himself in. He is vaccinated, KC vaccinated, deflead, dewormed, micro-chipped and neutered.

Scully is a 2 year old male Greyhound who was bought into rescue because he would not chase. When they let the mechanical hare go he ran the other way! He was then named Nerd, but he had a name change as soon as he got here. He is amazing! He is such a calm and placid dog.
He has lived with children, is fantastic with other dogs and is fine with cats and small animals. He has half-heartedly chased one of my cats when she ran off, but stopped immediately when called. He has eaten his dinner in the same room as the cats, been nose to nose with ferrets, rabbits and smaller animals such as rats and degus and is totally not interested.
Popular to contary belief Greyhounds do not need hours of exercise. They are built for short bursts of speed and then they want to rest. This is typical of Scully. He likes a quick run around and then a sleep! Scully is castrated and micro-chipped and has had his first vaccination today.

Kaiser is a loveable neutered 1 year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross boy. Kaiser is in need of a Staffordshire Bull Terrier experienced home with no young children as he is a very boisterous boy who could accidentally knock little ones over in play.
He is a very affectionate dog who loves cuddles and thrives on praise - he prefers an enthusiastic ‘Good Boy’ to a handful of treats. Kaiser has lived with cats and although he will chase if they run he is only interested in playing. He has also lived with another dog.
Kaiser is house-trained but does need further basic training and lead walking. He is a very strong lad on the lead. Ideally Kaiser needs a home where there is someone with him for most of the day as he adores company and doesn’t really like being left. Kaiser will sit and wait for his dinner and loves a good belly rub.
