Guiness - 5-6 year old male Greyhound
Guiness will be 6 years old in October. He is an ex-racing Greyhound whose racing history shows his his last race was in 2005. Where he has been in the meantime is anyones guess. He was picked up as a stray and was never claimed, like so many other Greyhounds who are cast out when they are no longer fast enough.
Guinness was in a stray pound and GRWE were asked to take him as the pound was getting full and spaces were tight. Guiness is a sociable boy who loves everybody and is very good natured. He will make a wonderful pet.

She is house-trained and is able to be left for periods of time on her own. She is a steady girl who needs some stability in her life after all the upheaval she has had, and will be a lovely companion for the right person. Lucy cannot go to a home with cats.

Introducing Mad Max, a 6 year old male Greyhound, who our lovely madcap 100 mile-an-hour boy! He retired from racing on a flapping track 6 months ago with no injuries and has been waiting for a place in kennels ever since. When he came into rescue Max was very fat and quite stressed.
He’s quite breathless when he is running (in a safe enclosed paddock) and it seems like he has had very little exercise since he retired from racing. We are building his exercise up slowly and Max is getting fitter by the day. Max has only ever known kennel life and has had a very limited world up until now.
He takes every new experience in his stride and is making the most of his new environment and lovng every minute of it! He is a confident dog who is great with people and has previously shared his kennel with a Greyhound bitch. He will need to be carefully introduced to other breeds of dog as he simply does not know what other breeds of dogs are, having been used to just Greyhounds up until now. He cannot go to a home with cats.

Maggie - 8 year old female Collie cross
Hello everyone, my name is Maggie and I am a very nervous 8 year old Collie cross. When you first meet me I will probably very shy and cautious, but once I get to know you I will show you how cute and cuddly I am. I recently went into a foster home and was extremely well behaved.
I am house-trained and can be left for a reasonable amount of time in the house. I have a huge playful streak in me, I do like some toys and will try to entice other dogs to play with me, although I prefer males. I love long or short walks and do appreciate your company whilst outside. I am a very quiet dog and would prefer a house where it is calm and peaceful.
I love to give kisses and will make a very loyal and obedient new best friend. I have not had an easy life but look forward to sharing many years with some one to love me and treat me right. Please give me a chance, I wont let you down. All my love and licks, Maggie x

Tigg is a Greyhound male aged approximately 6 years old. He is a very loving dog who is good with children, travels very well, can be left for short periods but may wet if left for more than 4-5 hours.
He can sometimes pull a bit on the lead but when he has had his run will come back to you and is as good as gold. He gets on well with other dogs and sleeps most of the day.
He is not destructive in anyway, he can get excited when it is walkie time so may not be suitable for a family with small children. I do not feel he would be cat friendly.

7May2008 | Pro Dogs Direct | READ MOREConnie and Mason
Meet Connie and Mason, they are two female and male 5 year old + dogs, Connie is a Dachshund cross Jack Russell Terrier, Mason is a Spaniel cross Basset Hound. Connie and Mason are a delightful pair of little dogs with two different personalities, but very bonded to each other. As they have been together for 5 years we want to rehome them as a pair.
Connie is very lively and definitely the dominant one. She is determined to get on your lap and have a really good cuddle. Mason is a gentle soul and seems more sensitive. He loves affection too but is not so insistent.
They are extremely friendly but apparently do not like other dogs very much and will be brave and feisty when on leads but run away from other dogs when off lead. They are not good with cats but are good with kids.

This is Mouse, he is a 10 year old Greyhound male. After being rescued this lad is taking hold of life with all four paws and living life to the full. He is a very loving lad who enjoys being stroked and has the most wonderful Greyhound lean when you are giving him loves. Mouse is good with other dogs as long as they are not too small as after 10 years he still has a chase instinct which won’t make him suitable to live with small furies or cats either.
Mouse is house-trained as long as he can go out every few hours and is clean through the night. Mouse is happy to be left as long as he has had a nice walk and a full belly of food and will lounge on the settee till you get back. Mouse has the most out going personality of any dog I have meet he seems to love every one and is not at all shy he loves my daughter and they can be often found on the settee together watching TV.
Mouse loves to go out in the car as long as he can stick his head out the window to see where he is going you may have to invest in some window wipes as he does tend to dribble a bit. Then Mouse came in to us he had spent 4 months in kennels and was quite under weight putting weight on this lad was not a problems as if there is one thing that Mouse loves and that’s food he is slowly gaining weight and his coat is starting to get a very nice shine.
If you think that you can offer this young at heart lad a forever home then please give us a call.

Larry (ref no 120) is a 6 year old Yorkshire Terrier cross who came into the shelter in March as a stray. Larry looks extremely cute but he is all terrier underneath. He has a huge character and will take liberties so needs rules and boundaries from day one.
Larry is independent and mischievous. He can get over-excited and rags his lead. He doesn’t like the paperboy! He can be rehomed with children 10 years +. He is good with dogs on walks. He would be fine to live with other female dogs but would be best in a home without cats.
