CELIA CROSS GREYHOUND TRUST

CELIA CROSS GREYHOUND TRUST We are a small independent sighthound specific rescue dedicated to saving the lives of needy hounds. Sun Valley is in the safe hands of Jane Thompson.

Celia Cross Greyhound Trust became a registered Charity in 1993, following a move to Sun Valley Farm, which is our home today. Sun Valley is based in outer Guildford on approximately 12 acres of stunning Surrey Hills countryside. Surrounded by woodland and rolling hillsides it really is heaven for our rescue hounds. The kennels boast a fully enclosed 6 acre field where the dogs are exercised multi

ple times a day, as well as luxury kennels with under bed heating, soft fluffy duvets and access to their own outside run! Dogs are assessed on arrival and their lives put back together. Our dedicated team of staff and volunteers help many a traumatised hound adjust to a new and loving environment. We aim to heal not only physical wounds- some from the track and others that indicate prolonged abuse- but the emotional wounds that are not always immediately obvious. Each dog who comes through our gates is allowed to settle in at their own pace, and if they wish, will be kennelled with another dog so they can socialise, snuggle up and play just as dogs should. We work hard to make sure our dogs are happy, spoiled rotten and we strive to create a homely family feel in our kennels for our residents until they are ready to be placed into the right home. Jane has dedicated her life to dogs, working with them for over 30 years. She is supported by a board of fellow trustees, fabulous Kennel staff and an extensive team of valued volunteers.

♥️𝐋𝐞𝐭'𝐬 𝐛𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥 ♥️

"You think you chose to bring me home,
but let’s be very clear:
The sofa’s mine, the snacks are mine,
I only let you near.

I’ll stretch out long and steal the bed,
I’ll sigh when food is late;
And if you want to leave the house,
you’ll learn i'll set the date.

So tell the world you rescued me,
it’s charming when you do…😂
But truth be told, dear human friend,
It was I, who rescued you.

I'd like to introduce you all to our newest member to join our little family.
We welcomed gorgeous Gracie a senior lady who at the beautiful age of 10 years old found herself in the pound.
We love a senior at Sun Valley and Gracie will now only know love and kindness going forward. It is obviously clear that this beautiful girl has sadly been used as a breeding machine in the past. 😥

🎈Ready for adoption🎈.
I'd like to introduce you all to Bramble our little 9 week old sassy pants lurcher girl.
Our precious little warrior has already very sadly had a terrible start to her young life. Bramble was found alone in the woods scared and wounded.
With lots of love and care Bramble has recovered well and is a delightful happy little girl, who is now looking for her forever family to come and whisk her away for her new fabulous life.
If you are seriously interested in giving Bramble a forever home then please complete the adoption questionnaire on our website.
www.celiacross.org.uk

Bramble is ready to leave asap so please only apply if you are ready and have thought about taking on a very young energetic puppy.
Puppies are hard work, they require plenty of your time and you will need lots of patience.

Thank you to everyone who attended our latest coffee morning on Saturday. It was so lovely to see so many familiar pointy faces, and meet some new ones. The weather was kind for us and it was lovely and cool for the hounds.
Thank you to everyone who worked hard to make the morning run smoothly.
We also raised a whopping £949.70❤

Last week we had the pleasure of the company of a wonderful group of volunteers from the M25 J10 team of Balfour Beatty, Lynch & Saferoad.
We had prepared a list of jobs ready for the day and they all smashed through the tasks given. Obviously, one of the most important jobs was repairing some of the much loved damage soft teddies for the dogs, all lovingly stitched back together.
We are so grateful for their help and how much was achieved on the day.
The team also had the honour of naming two new arrivals on the day which was Basil & Bertie, who were very pleased to pose for the team photo.
Thank you all so much for all your hard work and we look forward to having you return on another visit.
