July Update
Welcome to our update for July where you can find out what we have been up to during the month.
It has been a fantastic month for re-homing with seven dogs going home including the wonderful Pedro who had been in our kennels for nearly 600 days. He is the last dog that we brought over from our Dunton kennels to Pipps Hill to find a home. It’s great to see him finally get a family of his own. We wish all the hounds homed this month Pedro, Tori, Pip, Babs, Baby, Lark and Abby many happy years with their new owners.
Sometimes we’ve had dogs in the kennels for ages and thought ‘oh dear, we’re never going to home you’. The ones that spring to mind are Missouri with his long term lameness, Pedro and Happy with their long term health conditions and Wanda, who was just Wanda! We’re delighted to say that each time we’ve been proved wrong. It just goes to show that the right person is out there for each and every dog; it’s just a matter of finding them!
This month sees us exceed 50 dogs homed for the year which is a tremendous achievement. Our thanks to all who have made this possible, it’s a great team effort. If you would like to get involved we could always use extra help especially at events.
We have attended a number of events this month including the EHPPS dog show last weekend. What was really striking at the show was the amount of Greyhounds there. It’s fantastic to see that the word is getting out and people are realising what great dogs they are.
August is traditionally a slow month for homing but we have 4 dogs reserved due to go home during the month so fingers crossed for another great month to come. We’ll be attending the Greyhound Walks Show on 11th August and the Essex Dog day on 25th August; hopefully we can generate some interest in our hounds at these events.
