Ned is a lovely ex-racing Greyhound who was born on the 10th August 2010. He is 100% perfect in the house, very friendly and thrives on love and affection. He is house trained, neutered, inoculated and microchipped.
Before Ned arrived here he was attacked by two off lead labradoodles while out walking with his trainer. The incident has made him scared of dogs other than greyhounds.
In areas where he is the only dog Ned walks nicely on the lead, but when he sees other breeds he can become aggitated, may cry or shake. Instead of trying to escape as he used to he now hides behind his walker for protection. He will sometimes bark at other dog(s) but that's to make out he's a big tough guy and for them to go away. - Can you help us find
Ned his forever home?

Robbie is a large stunning black ex-racing greyhound who was born in November 2010.
He is house trained, neutered, inoculated and microchipped.
Robbie had a few issues when he first arrived and often looked very sad. He is a now a super dog who loves to play, adores cuddles, is 100% perfect in the house and if working in the garden he will follow you around or sit closeby, he just loves being with you. Robbie is okay with children and travelling in the car. He went through a phase where he was fascinated with the television, but that has passed now and he's quite happy to watch the television if it's on.
|
|
He walks lovely on a lead and will now watch other dogs out and about who don't come inside his comfort zone, and who are not running and jumping around either on or off lead. This activity used to make him anxious, but recently we've noticed subtle changes, he met and sniffed a collie, a terrier on a lead passing him on his walk he ignored, and he has started giving dogs a wide berth - the 'penny is beginning to drop' !
Robbie is a fantastic dog and will make someone a super, loyal companion. Robbie was re-homed on Saturday 23rd July 2016 but came back 2 days later through no fault of his own. - Can you help us find him his forever home?

Jewel is a black ex-racing greyhound who was born on 6th February 2013 and weighs 32k. He is house trained, neutered, inoculated and microchipped. A lovely dog but very timid until he gets to know you.
He came here because his last trainer said he couldn't get him out of his kennel - always right at the back shaking and refusing to move. The only way to get him out was at feeding time.
Here Jewel loves playing with his toys, and once he gets to know you will come for cuddles especially if a 'human' food treat is involved. He's okay with other breeds of dogs, walking on a lead and travelling in a car.
The golden rule with Jewel is you do NOT |
|
touch him when he's in his bed. You can walk past him and say hello but not touch him or show signs of going to get him otherwise he becomes very defensive and at this present time he may snap - past memories and lack of trust
coming to the fore. This may change of course but this is the way he is at present. When walking near his bed avoid looking at him in his eyes or bending down towards him, speak to him gently without looking at him and walk past with your arm hanging limp by your side with the back of our hand towards him, we smile and ask him if he's okay. If he wants to say hello he will do so by coming to us and touching the back of our hand.
So, the rule is, if it's time for his walk and he won't get off his bed even when you show him his lead and say walk, come on - then you don't go and he misses his walk. If he later comes to you and you are okay to take him for a walk then hold his collar and put his lead on, then he's quite happy to go, but if he goes back to his bed you hang the lead back up and don't go near him.
Jewel loves his food so he's always there waiting for it at meal times. He's a bit of a guard dog when new people visit and is very insecure around some men. When he comes to you he is a very loving dog and adores being stroked and made a fuss of. Given time, plenty of understanding and TLC he should get there and make someone a super companion once he gains their trust.. - Can you help us find him a new home? |

ABOUT US:
We've had greyhounds since April 1997 and between July 2004 and November 2009 we fostered 82 greyhounds for Dumfriesshire and Cumbria Greyhound Rescue. At the beginning of December 2009 we began fostering for the Retired Greyhound Trust (RGT) and established their SOUTH LAKES branch. We have now fostered in excess of 350.
Being in the South Lakes we are situated at the southern end of the English Lake District in Cumbria at Witherslack, which is half way between Kendal and Grange-over-Sands. As fosterers it is our passion to help greyhounds through the transition stage from kennels to home life, helping them to adapt to the family way of life and being part of our family until they find their forever homes
.
WHY ADOPT A GREYHOUND?
Greyhounds make wonderful pets. They are for life, not just for racing. They all deserve a second chance. Greyhounds are elegent, very intelligent, tend to be laid back,
lazy if given the chance, need little exercise, often just two, half hour walks a day. Greyhounds thrive on love and affection, adapt quickly to the family way of life and make very gentle and loyal pets.
Over 40,000 Greyhounds are bred each year in the UK and Ireland and thousands of Greyhound puppies and youngsters are put to sleep because they don't make the grade for racing. The average age of a Greyhound coming into 'Rescue' is 3 to 4 years old when they are no longer needed. However, the normal life expectancy of a Greyhound is between 12 and 15 years - the longest living of the larger breeds of dog means they have many years ahead of them once they are no longer needed for racing Only a very small percentage are the lucky ones who are re-homed.

Lena came into our lives
on the 23rd May 2013.
Not
quite 2 years old she
didn't
make the grade for racing,
but she raced
headlong
into our
hearts
and home.
Star came into our lives
on the 18th October 2015.
When our
4 month old grand daughter cried for her bottle, he
came over and rested his head
on her shoulder and within a minute she was calm.
It sealed
his
future with us.

Jenny and Stuart's hounds - gone but not forgotten
George introduced us to the world
of
hounds.
Arriving in April 1997
he had been badly treated and
was about 9 years
old.
Sadly we
only
had him 3½ months
when
he died.
He was our first true love.
He
was our
'Gentleman George'.
Solo melted our
heart the moment
he walked through
the door - he is
the one
who
helped
heal the
wounds
following Bobby's death.
Sadly Solo passed away on
the
12th February 2014 aged
7 years
9 months old.

Bobby and Penny arrived the
day

OUR
DARLING PENNY who died
in
February

12½
years old.
Bobby passed
away
on 26th April 2009
aged 13 years 10 months.
Sandy who we nicknamed
'the
beast'
arrrived here on
the

November 2007.
In
August
2008 we adopted him and at
11.25am on Friday 22nd July
2016 he passed away aged
13 years, 4 months.

When Penny died Bobby
chose Indi as his
new
companion and here
she
is in March 2005. She helped
us foster nearly 340 dogs.
Indi passed away on the 20th July
2015 aged 14 years 3 months. |
