We take in ex-racing greyhounds from Newcastle Racetrack and finds them loving forever homes. Based outside the village of Reston, just off the A1 we have can have 35-40 greyhounds in our care looking for a safe and loving home. Greyhounds make great pets and are suitable

for all kinds of families. Whether you work, have children or other pets, we look at all situations individually and work hard to match the right greyhound with the right family.

Appolgies for the radio silence - I have been trying to juggle having a baby and taking in small numbers of dogs for boarding.

We only have one dog left for rehoming and he has been in the kennels for around a year and a half. To be honest I was skeptical about posting this as it had gotten to the point were we thought it would be too stressful for him to go and live in a home again after being in the kennels for as long as he has. I thought maybe he should just stay at the kennels as a 'pet' but with things quietening down its really sad to see him missing the company of other dogs.

Kai was returned to us when unfortunately his owner died, he has taken a little bit of time to decompress and not take life so seriously. He suffered with separation anxiety when he first arrived at the kennels but that has gotten much better over time, and could be managed in a home with experienced owners, or in an ideal world he could be rehomed with another greyhound.

He gets on great with other greyhounds and has shared his kennel with a number of different bi***es with no issues. Having the company of another dog is what helped manage his separation anxiety so I think this would be the most successful outcome for rehoming.

He walks brilliantly on the lead and jumps straight into the car. Loves to play with toys, chase balls, have a run off- lead, and play with other greyhounds. Is ok with other medium sized breeds but needs to be introduced correctly in a controlled environment.

He is a dog who really wants to please his owner and is one of the most affectionate pups I've ever met. He will make a fantastic companion for somebody but just needs to be given a chance.

For any more information on this boy or to arrange a visit, please do get in touch via the page and I will get back to you.

Some of you may remember a little black dog called Corky posted on here a couple of years ago. whom through no fault of his own has been returned to the kennels to be rehomed due to his owners change in circumstances.

An absolute pleasure to look after and such a gentle nature - he previously lived with two young children. Loves to meet new people and dogs 🐕 walks fab on the lead and loves his toys 🧸

Corky can be nervous of men 😞 but once he gets to know you he is a very rewarding companion.

For more information on this gentle wee boy please contact Sonia on [email protected] or 07967057759

The Lovely Floss is still in the kennels waiting for that special family to come along 🥺 she is 5 years old and a real character to have around - absolutely LOVES to play with toys (as you can see in the vid) and have a run off the lead in the paddock.

She gets on great with the other greyhounds and is very independent so could be an only dog. Enjoys her walks and loves to meet new people!

She would love to have some visitors so please do get in touch if you would like to meet her 🥰

What an incredible response we had to our kennel wish list!! People have been so generous and kind 😇 there are too many names to go through so we just want to thank everybody for making an effort towards the dogs who are staying in kennels this Christmas 🎄 they are all very happy with the bursting full treat boxes, new teddies and their very own christmas dinners 💗💗

Below are Cleo (Black bitch) and Kai (Black & white) on their morning walk. They are some of the dogs who are still searching for the perfect family to adopt them ❤️

CLEO has been returned to us unfortunately due to her owners poor health. She has lived in a house with another grey and was foot perfect. She gets on great with all breeds of dogs and loves to play and dig holes!

KAI has also lived in a home for a couple of years so knows the drill. He loves the company of people and other dogs so would be suited to a home where people are around a lot or he has another dog with him. He Will make the most loyal companion for the right person!

For more information on these fab dogs please contact Sonia on 07967057759 or email [email protected] 🐾

On behalf of the gorgeous dogs we have in for rehoming I would like to thank Carol Gibson for her generous donations off of our amazon wish list. We had boxes of treats, teddies and food delivered to the kennels! The dogs were so excited to try out their new honking ducks and had peanut butter kongs waiting in their beds 🥰🥰🥰

Lots of love from Floss, Ash and Cleo who are dreaming of one day having their own families to spoil them .🐶❤️

Unfortunately due to no fault of her own the gorgeous Stacey is back up for rehoming. She is only 2 so this needs to be taken into account.

She has lived in a house and can be left on her own for periods of time no problem and is also house trained with toileting etc.

Lovely petite girl who enjoys being the centre of attention.👸 walks like a wee lamb on the lead.

We recieved a LOT of enquiries the last time Stacey was posted on the page so hopefully this wee girl can be in a home before christmas! 🤶

Any enquiries should be sent to [email protected]

Thankyou x

Gorgeous boy Ash is still waiting for his own family to join in time for christmas🐾

He is 6 years old and a real gent around the other greyhounds. Always clean in his kennel and has the waggiest tail 🐕 loves to meet new people and have a fuss made - will make an excellent family member for someone!

His favourite things are teddies (especially squeaky ones!) And having a run with his friends in the field. A very happy dog with a bright future ahead of him. Walks well on the lead and very polite when taking treats from you ❤

If you would like any more information on Ash please contact sonia on [email protected] or 07967057759 to arrange a viewing of this stunning boy.🐶

Huss and Floss still haven't had any enquiries since their last post 💔 these gorgeous dogs are really hoping to be with their very own family in time for Santa Paws coming...

Huss is wearing the red coat and Floss in the purple. Real characters and someone will be very lucky to adopt either of these beauties.🥰🐕

Again we have to state that they DO NOT need to be rehomed together and will happily go to separate homes. We would rather they got the chance to find a family of their own than having to wait in kennels for longer than needed to be rehomed together. We understand in some cases siblings shouldn't be seperated but these dogs are very confident individuals.
