April Update
Welcome to our update for April where you can find out what we have been up to during the month.
Our website has been updated to show all the events calendar booked so far for this year. As ever many hands make light work and we always have an enjoyable time at events. If you would like to help out either manning the stall or promoting the greyhounds please contact us. We can always do with more help.
We start the new show season this weekend with a busy weekend. We will be at the Weald Country show on Sunday and Monday. We will also be at the Shotgate Park Funday on Sunday.
If we thought March was busy April topped it and then some! We have been exceptionally busy at the kennels with prospective new owners coming to view our hounds and we are especially pleased to welcome some new volunteer walkers to the branch. Our regular walkers do a fantastic job week in week out not only exercising the dogs but also getting them used to being handled by lots of different people. It makes such a difference when they meet prospective new owners as they are confident and friendly around new people.
We are delighted to report that Missouri is a failed foster as he has now been adopted by his foster family. I believe Missouri has Tim and Chris trained and we wish them well for the future.
Sadly we had Scott and Dream returned after a few days as it did not work out for their new owners. We will now be looking for an experienced sighthound owner for them.
On the bright side as well as Missouri we have homed Porsche, Adriel, Amelia, Kyle, Mindy, Lady, Sparkle, Boycie and Jarvis this month making this the best month for homing since we rebranded at the beginning of last year. That represents half the dogs we have available in kennels. Don’t worry we have some exceptional new hounds recently arrived including Pablo and Colin, two lovely boys who will melt your heart.
We have to say a big thank you to our unsung heroes Maggie and her team for doing such a good job looking after our hounds. We have had several people recently remark on their lovely condition.
