January Update
Welcome to our first monthly update where you can find out what we have been up to during the month. If you would like to get involved with Meet and Greets, help out at events or walk our dogs at the kennels please contact us. We can always do with more help.
We ended the old year with two of our black boys, Toby and Sparky, going to their new homes which was a great way to see out the old year. We wish them many happy years in their new homes.
The branch has had a fantastic start to 2019. Many thanks to everyone who helped with the Tesco meet and greets. Not only were the customers extremely generous with their donations, a lot of them expressed interest in the dogs and as a result several have been reserved. A great team effort.
Katie, our lead volunteer was nominated for the GBGB Founders award for services to Greyhounds. She made the final three which was a fantastic. The Founders Award was won by Lynn & Geoff Pearce of Greyhound Trust, Cornwall Branch. Our congratulations to them. We're still thrilled that Katy, Maureen and Tom were in the final three. Well done to everyone, it was a great achievement to get there.
Looking forward to the events this year we are starting to get dogs coats knitted for sale on our stall. We have had a number of offers to knit them for us. It looks like we are starting a cottage industry!
During the month of January we saw Leo and Lily going to new homes. We start February with Marley on his way to his new home. A great start to the year as January is usually a quiet month for us.
There has been a lot of interest in the dogs this month and as we move into February we have Sky, Ren, Sue and Brienne reserved. Once home checks have been done they will hopefully go home in the next few weeks.
Whilst we do our best to ensure the kennel dogs get their daily walks, there are occasions when we have to cancel due to bad weather. If you are a volunteer walker it’s worth checking our Facebook page before you set off for the kennels as we’ll announce any cancellations there. We’ll also send out a text to people if we cancel. If you are not receiving these texts please contact us with your mobile phone number so we can include you.
