The Spencers got in touch with us after looking after a friends dog made them realize they'd like one of their own, and had heard that a greyhound might be a good fit. The greyhound would be a companion for son Jenson but would also have to get on with Jenson's younger brother Max, who has special needs and sometimes needs a wheelchair.

On meeting Syd at our kennels Max was asked "do you like the look of greyhounds?" "NO!" came the immediate reply! Syd, ever the charmer, would have his work cut out here! After a few laps of the field we stopped to gather our thoughts. Perhaps a smaller girl would be better? A non-black boy maybe? Syd saw his chance, and after dad turned back around after meeting another of our hounds he saw Syd gently resting his head on Max's lap and Max stroking him.

Its always nice when they sell themselves 🙂So off Syd went on a foster to make sure everything would be good in the home environment. Now we are pleased to announce that Syd has gotten himself adopted and a last name, good boy Sydney Spencer!

With three new brindle arrivals this week 5 out of our 6 hounds are brindles, stay tuned for profiles as we get to know them (one is a sibling to previously homed brindles and another is a close relative!)

Despite all being brindle we thought we'd highlight just how different brindle coats can be. Here is google Gemini's take on how our five brindles would look if they were a paint colour chart 😂If you can do any better comment below! Our volunteers own suggestions of 'sandy beach' and 'very sandy beach' can certainly be improved upon 🙂

The lovely Melita found her forever home recently when Joe and Lydia reached out after they lost their Hall Green girl Luna, and has quickly been settling in keeping watch for squirrels and enjoying daily walks by the canal!

In the words of Mötley Crue: GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS

With Joe homed and Syd on foster we are currently at the unusual and envious position of having nothing but bi***es in the kennels, Gracie, Melita, Furby and Shan. They all have different quirks and personalities so if you'd like to meet our girls get in touch!

We never got to share Joe's complete profile on Facebook due to the amount of suitors he had!

One of these were Steve, Wendy and greyhound Judy who had just lost their boy, Atlas. Joe worked his magic and managed to convince them to open their hearts to another lad.

Joe has big shoes to fill (Atlas was a 44kg greyhound!!!) but he seems to be doing his best as these photos will attest!

A few homed hound updates to share with you. First off here is Effy curled up on the sofa with new boyfriend Billy. We're not sure she could get any more snug than that!
