Today is National Cook for Your Pets Day, and we want to see what’s cooking in YOUR kitchen! 👀🍽️

🐾 Are your hounds enjoying a five-star gourmet breakfast?

🐾💚 WELL, THAT WAS QUICK! BELLA’S CHECKING OUT 🏨🐾🎉

We didn’t even have time to advertise this beautiful girl! 😂💚

One minute Bella was checking into our Kennel Kid Hotel, and before we’d even had chance to unpack her suitcase, she’s already preparing to CHECK OUT! 🧳🏡❤️

And that’s not all… Bella has a gorgeous new name… NORA 🥰🐾

Our lovely Nora will soon be heading off to her furever home, where she’ll be sharing her sofa with a very familiar face…Toby, now known as Bobby 🐕❤️

Yes, Toby now Bobby is a former Kennel Kid Hotel guest himself, so he’ll be on hand to show Nora exactly how wonderful retirement life can be! 🛋️🐾

Two former hotel guests, one loving home and a lifetime of happiness ahead together 💚

Sometimes the perfect ending happens before we’ve even had chance to tell the beginning 🥹❤️

Wishing Nora, Bobby and their family a wonderful life together! 🏡🐾💚

ANOTHER HAPPY CHECKOUT AT THE KENNEL KID HOTEL 🏨🧳🏡

🎉 MARTIN HAS LEFT THE BUILDING 🎉

Our gorgeous boy Martin has officially checked out of the Kennel Kid Hotel, with his suitcase packed and his tail wagging, as he heads off with his wonderful furever family🥹❤️

No more waiting for his special someone, because Martin has found his very own family, a home full of love and, most importantly, his very own furever sofa 🛋️🐾

There’s nothing we love more than seeing one of our precious kennel kids head off to begin their next chapter. 💚

From everyone at Greyhound Trust Burton upon Trent, we wish Martin and his lovely new family a lifetime of happiness, cuddles and wonderful memories together.

🎃👻 A SPOOKTACULAR MORNING AT THE KENNEL KID HOTEL 🐾🕷️🦇

Well, things got a little bit spooky at Greyhound Trust Burton upon Trent this morning 🎃🤣

Our gorgeous Kennel Kids have been getting into the Halloween spirit with a spot of apple bobbing 🍎, dressing up and plenty of spooky shenanigans 👻🐕💚

But we do have one very important question…

🤣 WHO ENJOYED IT MORE THE KENNEL KIDS OR OUR VOLUNTEERS 🤣

Judging by the fun, laughter and questionable behaviour, we’re really not sure 😂🎃

🎥 We’ll let YOU decide. Take a look at our video of today’s photographs and tell us who you think had the most fun!

A massive THANK YOU to our SPOOKTACULAR volunteers for making the morning so special for our wonderful Kennel Kids. You really are fang-tastic! 🧡🦇

🐾💚 Happy Howl-o-ween from everyone at Greyhound Trust Burton 🎃👻

🚨🐾 WHEN OUR AMBASSADOR HOUNDS TAKE THEIR SECURITY DUTIES A LITTLE TOO SERIOUSLY! 🚔🐿️🤣

Here at Greyhound Trust Burton upon Trent, we like to think our wonderful ambassador hounds represent the branch with dignity, professionalism and impeccable behaviour… 💚🐾

Well, that was until ASBO (Owen) and Gr**go decided to form their very own Rosliston Forestry Centre Squirrel Enforcement Unit! 👮‍♂️🐿️🤣

And just when we thought things couldn’t get any more ridiculous, their Dad has only gone and equipped them with FLASHING BLUE LIGHTS 🚨🚨😂

All joking aside, ASBO and Gr**go are two of our much loved ambassador hounds, helping us demonstrate just how wonderful, funny and full of character retired racing greyhounds really are. 💚

Whether they’re visiting care homes, meeting the public at events or apparently fighting squirrel related crime, these two certainly know how to make people smile 🥰🐾

💚🐾🎉 STOP EVERYTHING… BIG BOY KEANO HAS SOME AMAZING NEWS 🎉🐾💚

🥹❤️ HE’S ONLY GONE AND DONE IT… KEANO HAS GOT HIMSELF RESERVED ❤️🥹

Oh, Team Burton, this is one of those moments that makes everything we do so incredibly worthwhile 💚

Not so long ago, we shared a heartfelt appeal for our beautiful, big, bouncy lad Keano, hoping that somewhere out there was someone who would see past all that excitement and fall in love with the wonderful boy we know. 🐾

WELL… SOMEONE HAS 🥹❤️

Our gorgeous Keano had a very special individual visit, and let’s just say… he worked his magic 😍

That big personality, those gorgeous eyes and that enormous heart clearly stole someone’s heart!

And now, the news we’ve been dreaming of sharing…

🏡💚 KEANO HAS BEEN RESERVED AND WILL SOON BE CHECKING OUT OF THE KENNEL KID HOTEL 💚🏡

🧳 His suitcase is being dusted off, his belongings are being packed, and we suspect he’s already measuring up the sofa to make sure there’s enough room for those VERY long legs! 😂🛋️

Keano, you beautiful lad, your time has finally come, and we couldn’t be happier for you.

A massive thank you to everyone who shared his story, sent him love and helped us believe that his special person was out there.

And, of course, a huge thank you to the wonderful individual who has given our big lad this wonderful opportunity. ❤️

💚 GO ON, KEANO! YOU ABSOLUTE SUPERSTAR 💚

🐾💚 YOUR GENEROSITY MAKES A DIFFERENCE, JUST LOOK AT THIS COMFORT 🐾💚

At Greyhound Trust Burton upon Trent, our kennel kids deserve nothing but the best while they’re waiting for their furever homes🏡❤️

Thanks to the generosity of our wonderful supporters, we have recently received some lovely donations, so we’ve been able to treat our residents to some beautiful new sheepskin bed covers for their beds in our outside garden areas 🐕🛏️

And don’t they look cosy! 🥰

These lovely additions will help keep our hounds warm, comfortable and snug while they’re enjoying some fresh air and relaxation in their garden areas. After all, retirement should come with a few home comforts 🐾💤🛏️

We always think it’s important to show our supporters exactly where their kind donations go. Every penny makes a difference, whether it’s providing food, bedding, veterinary care or those little extras that make life at our Kennel Kid Hotel that bit more special. 💚

Our greyhounds might only be staying with us temporarily, but while they’re here, we will always ensure they feel safe, loved and thoroughly spoilt ❤️

📸 The photos might not be award-winning, but hopefully they show just how much your kindness means to our kennel kids!

To everyone who has donated THANK YOU 🙏💚

You’re not just supporting a charity. You’re making a real difference to the lives of these beautiful greyhounds while they wait for someone to take them home.

And judging by the comfort levels, we might have a few residents reluctant to get out of bed in the morning 😂🐾

🐾💚 DOUBLE CHECK OUT AT THE KENNEL KID HOTEL AND WHAT A BEAUTIFUL STORY 🧳🏡❤️

Some stories really do melt your heart, and today we have one of those very special ones! 🥹💚

Our gorgeous boys Merlin (who will now be known as Mike) and Vic have officially packed their suitcases, handed in their room keys and checked out of the Kennel Kid Hotel! 🧳🐾🎉

But what makes this story extra special? ❤️

Two sisters, who live together, decided they each wanted a greyhound of their very own🥰

And who better than our wonderful Mike and Vic? Two lucky boys, two loving sisters, one very happy home and a lifetime of love, cuddles and sofa sharing ahead! 🏡💕🐕

We couldn’t be happier knowing that these two beautiful lads are heading off on their next adventure together, with a family who already adore them.

From everyone at Greyhound Trust Burton upon Trent, we wish Mike, Vic and their lovely new family a lifetime of happiness, laughter and wonderful memories. 💚

Two sisters, two greyhounds, one forever home. Now that’s what we call a happy ending 🐾❤️

Enjoy your retirement, boys! You’ve certainly landed on your paws! 🥰🐾

💚🐾 A SPECIAL VISIT TO ONE OF OUR WONDERFUL SPONSORS 🐾💚

Some of our fantastic Greyhound Trust Burton team, accompanied by a few of our gorgeous Ambassador Hounds, recently paid a very special visit to our wonderful friends at Alpha Construction Limited 🏗️🐕

Alpha Construction are the proud sponsors of our Kennel Kid Hotel Check Out Area 🧳🏨 the very special place where our beautiful greyhounds begin the next chapter of their lives as they head off to their forever homes. 🏡❤️

Their continued generosity and support mean so much to everyone at our branch, and we’re incredibly grateful to have such a fantastic local business standing alongside us in our mission to find loving homes for retired greyhounds.

Of course, our Ambassador Hounds were only too happy to come along, spread a little greyhound love and then their favourite part enjoy some well deserved fuss! 🥰🐾

💚 A huge THANK YOU to everyone at Alpha Construction Limited. Your ongoing support really does make a difference, and we look forward to continuing this wonderful partnership.

From all the volunteers and, most importantly, the hounds THANK YOU 💚🐾
