🐾 A car ride? Yes please! A trip to the vets? No bother! A fuss from her favourite people? Don’t mind if she does! ❤️

Our gorgeous Grace, a 4-year-old snowflaked girl with bags of character and a real love for people. Medium-sized, strong-built and full of energy, she enjoys getting out and about and walks beautifully on the lead.

Grace would suit a home with older children and needs a home without small dogs, cats or small furries. She likes to take her time getting to know other dogs, so a slow and sensible approach is best.

This lovely girl has plenty of fun and affection to bring to the right home, along with a fabulous personality 🥰

Apollo is a little gentleman in the making! Currently enjoying his time in foster, Apollo is showing everyone just how lovely he is. He’s a chilled-out boy who’s more than happy to spend his days snoozing and pottering about, and with his impeccable house manners, he’s already got the home-life thing pretty well figured out!

He can be a little hesitant when meeting new people and dogs, but give him a moment to take it all in and he will soon start to come around. He just needs the chance to get comfortable in his own time.

Apollo is already showing what a lovely companion he can be. Now he just needs someone to see what we see in him and offer him a place to call his own.

If Apollo sounds like your kind of boy, get in touch to find out more about adopting him.

🖤 Tingle, far too busy having fun for a photoshoot!

Honestly, trying to get a still photo of this girl was a mission ! Our gorgeous black 4 year old girl is new to us, but she is already showing us how much she loves life !

Tingle can be a little unsure when she is somewhere new, so she might need a bit of time, but once she's comfortable? Out comes the playful, affectionate, silly side of her personality. She's a girl who loves people, and we're looking forward to seeing more of her character as she settles in.

She's fine around other dogs, but we don't know how she would be with cats as she hasn't been cat tested.

For now, we are looking for someone who won't mind letting Tingle take things at her own pace. No rushing her, just giving her the time and reassurance to settle in and show you who she really is.

She's a beautiful girl, inside and out, and we'd love to see her find a home where she can feel safe enough to be her wonderfully daft self every day. 🖤

Please send us a message if you would like to know more

❤️ Everyone meet Josh, a lovely 4 year old looking for his forever home. 🐾

Josh is an affectionate boy who loves people of all ages and is always happy to make a new friend. He is house-trained, loves a bit of fuss and has plenty of love to give to the right family.

He has also lived happily with another Greyhound and gets on really well with larger breed dogs, so a home with another suitable dog could be an option for him. He is not suitable for cats I am afraid.

On walks, Josh can be a little overexcited to begin with, he is just very keen to get going! He does settle when asked, but he will need someone who's confident and experienced with larger dogs to help him keep his feet on the ground (quite literally!).

Josh really is a lovely boy and just needs someone who understands him, can help him with his lead manners and will enjoy having such an affectionate companion around.

If you would like to know more about please get in touch. Let's help this lovely boy find his family 🐾
