Firework Season Is Here: Top Tips To Help Your Hounds Cope This Season! 🎇

Fireworks can be frightening for our sensitive hounds, so here are a few simple ways to help them feel safe and settled. 🧡

Create a cosy safe space – Set up a quiet area/ den with their favourite bed and blankets where they can retreat.

Mask the noise – Put the TV or some calming music on to help drown out the bangs.

Close curtains and blinds – Reduce flashes of light and keep the house feeling calm.

Try ear protection - snoods or Hush Muffs – These tools can help muffle some of the noise.

Consider a ThunderShirt – ThunderShirts are specially designed calming wraps that fit snugly around your dog's body, applying gentle, constant pressure. This can help some dogs feel more secure and settled during stressful situations.

Check their ID – Make sure their collar and ID tag are secure and up to date.

Plan ahead – Walk and feed your hound before dark, while it’s still quiet.

Keep everything secure – Check doors, windows and garden gates are closed. Always keep your hound on a lead if they need to go outside.

Offer reassurance – Stay calm, provide comfort and let them choose where they feel safest. Whether that’s beside you or tucked away in their den, let them do what works for them.

Keep them company – Try not to leave your hound home alone during fireworks.

Speak to your vet – If your hound struggles with fireworks, ask your vet about suitable calming support well in advance.

Stay Calm - Dogs will pick up on our emotions so try to stay calm and relaxed around your dog. Avoid showing anxiety or reacting to the fireworks yourself.

Remember, every hound is different and what works for one may not work for another. The most important thing is to be prepared, patient and understanding with your hound throughout firework season.🧡🎇

DOG OF THE WEEK: MARLEY 💙🐾

How is this handsome boy still waiting for his forever home?! 🥹

Meet Marley, a gentle and laid-back greyhound with a heart full of love! He’s a gorgeous, easy-going boy who takes everything in his stride 💙

Marley is the perfect mix of calm and playful, all the lovable qualities we adore in our greyhounds. He enjoys human company, loves a fuss and would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a loyal best friend. He’s happy sharing his space with a female greyhound or living as the only dog, so he could fit beautifully into the right home either way. 🏠

Marley walks well in his harness on our countryside walks and travels well in the car to new places. He’ll need adopters who understand his prey drive and can continue supporting him around other breeds, but with patience and understanding this special boy has so much to offer. 🐾

We honestly can’t believe Marley is still waiting for someone to choose him. He has so much love to give! ❤️

This will be Marley’s second Christmas with us and as much as we love having him here with us, we know he’d love to find his own forever family to spend it with! 🎄

Due to Marley’s size, he would be best suited to a home without younger children. ‼️

Could you be the one Marley has been waiting for? If you think you could offer this gorgeous boy the loving home he deserves, please click the link in our bio and apply online! 🐾💙

This weeks Tuesday tail is about the wonderful Bruce now known as Billy! 🐾💙

🏠 When they joined their family:

Billy was known as Bruce at Clarks farm before he was officially adopted in July 2024.

Having had greyhounds prior and one from Clarks Farm who sadly crossed rainbow bridge, Billys wonderful humans paid us a visit to see if any dogs needing a home would suite their family. Luckily the team knew just the dog, who in turn needed them!

❤️Life now:
We have had Billy for just over 2 years. Ruby had been with us for 12 years. Unfortunately, she died about 9 months after Billy's arrival. She died peacefully at home. We had enjoyed having her throughout her life. Billy came to us, soon after we lost another lovely greyhound from Clark's farm. He too had been a joy to keep.

We have had dogs throughout our married lives and have never regretted having them.
Billy has been more than a consolation. He has brought joy to all of our family and is friends with very many of our neighbours. One young family, with two very young children have greatly benefitted from knowing him. They live in a flat and cannot have pets of their own. Both of their children were initially afraid of dogs but, through their contact with Billy have progressed to the point where they call his name 150 yards away as soon as they turn into our road on the way to nursery and school.

Billy loves people and other dogs, including a very large rottweiler who lives next door! He also very much loves his food and walks.

Like all the greyhounds we have been fortunate to adopt from Clark's farm he is totally without fault and a delight in every way.

Clark's farm has always made the adoption process very straightforward and has always been there to help if we have any difficulties. The staff have been pleasant and supportive at all times. We have no hesitation in encouraging others to adopt greyhounds from them.

Happy ever after Billy and family ❤️

If you have adopted a hound from Clarks Farm and would like to be featured in our Tuesday Tails series, or if you would like to begin your adoption journey please get in touch through our website we would love to hear from you!💙🐾

🐾 DOG OF THE WEEK 🐾

Meet Gogo! 🩷

Gogo, just like her name suggests is always ready to GO! This girl is incredibly fun, with a humorous personality and a constant mission to keep her humans entertained. 😂🩷

Gogo isn’t shy about making friends and she’s been busy winning hearts and befriending everyone she’s met during her time with us. She recently met Blossom (the spaniel), and she was just as excited about this encounter as she’s been with every other new friend!

Whether it’s meeting new people, making doggy pals, or heading off on her next adventure, Gogo puts her whole heart and all four paws into everything she does. She absolutely loves being part of the action!

Gogo is ready to find her very own people to share all her adventures with. She is looking for a family who will embrace her fun-loving nature and give her all the love she has to give in return. 💕

If you think Gogo, would fit your family! Click the link in our bio to apply now 💙 🐾

🐾 DOG OF THE WEEK: HAROLD 🐾

Meet Harold, this handsome young lad who is looking for his second chance at home life! 🏡💙

Harold spent just under five months in what we hoped would be his forever home, but it became clear that the busy London lifestyle wasn’t quite his cup of tea. He would be much happier in a quieter town, village or rural setting, with a secure, enclosed garden where he can play and relax. 🌳

The good news is that Harold has made fantastic progress with his training! He is house trained, knows a couple of cues with “down” being his favourite! He is a bright young dog who enjoys learning. He would love a family who can continue building on his progress. ✨

Harold is a very affectionate boy who forms strong bonds with his humans. ❤️ He would thrive in a home where someone is around for most of the day, as he loves company and being involved in family life.

He has shown lovely social skills with other dogs, did well meeting a spaniel during his dog test and can potentially live with a resident greyhound, pending successful introductions.🐕

Having recently turned 3, Harold is playful, fun-loving and full of potential! He would suit a home with adults or older teenagers, where interactions can be calm and predictable.

Harold deserves a patient, loving home where he can settle at his own pace and continue to flourish. In return, he’ll make a wonderfully affectionate and loyal companion. 🐾💙

🏡 Could you offer Harold his forever home?

Thankful Thursday 🐾

Today, we’re taking a moment to say a huge thank you to Boars Tye House for their incredible support. ❤️

They held a donation collection at their home and kindly delivered us a wonderful bundle of much needed supplies, all beautifully presented in some gorgeous hand-painted boxes by their residents! 🎨📦

Their generous donations included dog food, treats, towels and duvets, washing-up liquid, hand soap and a range of cleaning products. 🐾🧼

Thanks to their generosity, our hounds had some extra treats to enjoy and we can continue to keep everything clean and comfortable for the dogs in our care.

We are so grateful to have such wonderful supporters behind our hounds. Every donation, fundraiser and act of kindness makes a real difference to the lives of the dogs we care for. ❤️

From all of us and especially the greyhounds thank you! 🐾💙

🐾TUESDAY TAILS 🐾

We are starting a new series where every Tuesday, we tell the tale of one or two of our greyhounds who has found their happily ever after🏡❤️

This week, we’re catching up with Andy & Lara!

🏠 When they joined their family:

We officially adopted Andy and Lara in June 2026.

We had always said that after buying our first house, we’d wait at least a year before getting a dog… well, two months later we had two greyhounds🤣

I had already worked with Andy and Lara at the kennels, so naturally I was completely in love with them both. Then my partner Kam met them at an event and fell head over heels too… so, of course, I ran with the idea!

❤️ Finding their forever home:

Andy is now 8 years old and Lara celebrated her 10th birthday with us in September. Despite their ages, these two have more than enough personality to keep us entertained!

Andy is a big, lovable, derpy boy who absolutely loves life and everyone he meets. He particularly enjoys prancing around the house with anything he can find in his mouth, whether that’s one of our slippers or his beloved Rottweiler toy. 😂

Lara, on the other hand, is a professional snoozer. She’s perfectly happy spending most of the day asleep, but as soon as she sees her lead, suddenly she’s a rocket! 🚀 She loves zooming around with her toys and you’d never guess she’s 10 years old.

🐾 Life now:

Andy and Lara have settled into home life so naturally that it genuinely feels like they’ve always been here.💜

They also get along brilliantly with my auntie’s greyhound, Olive, and the three of them have become quite the little trio. We call them The Three Musketeers 🐶🐶🐶

These two have completely filled our home with their funny little personalities, and we couldn’t imagine life without them. ❤️

If you have adopted a hound from Clarks Farm and would like to be featured in our Tuesday Tails series, or if you would like to begin your adoption journey please get in touch through our website!

Here’s to another happily homed hound… or in this case, two! 🐾🐾💙
