 Retired Greyhounds Help Save Lives !

 The Veterinary Blood Supplies visited the kennels with their  mobile  blood transfusion van. 12 dogs gave blood to help save  the lives  of some of their canine friends.
 Epping Town Show - Sun 16th Sept

 Due to the fine autumn weather we had a busy event. It was lovely  to see so many of the greyhounds we have homed come and visit  the stall. Barley was on her best behaviour as always and we were  advised we should have entered her into the dog show (maybe  next time).Barley in is the picture with a couple of her new friends  that visited the stall and gave her a lovely cuddle.

  Service to the Community Project - Fri 14th Sept

 Here is the photo taken this morning at the kennels.15 tonnes of  sand were laid in the paddocks at our kennels by Engineers from  British Gas as part of their Service to the Community project, for  which we and the greyhounds were very thankful !
 
 
 
 
Greyhounds make the ideal pet ... and you'll feel proud to own one.
