Al
Racing Name: Al Capone
Date of Birth: February 2020
What a big striking lad is Al. Not blessed in the brains department but a loveable goofball. Still adjusting to all the new sights & sounds and can get a bit over excited but much to like 🙂 Was a bit full on with the terrier but he’s never seen one before and should settle the more of real life and other breeds that he sees. Shares so well with even a fiesty girl grey that we are hopeful his good nature will expand to encompass other breeds too. A boy we can’t help but like 🙂

Bluey
Racing Name: Decee Bluey
Date of Birth: March 2021
Despite her demure look in her profile picture Bluey is definitely a Fun, Fun, Fun girly lol. A little livewire with a super sassy but loving personality 🙂 Luckily once you’ve wrestled her out of the gate she walks nicely and is a great grey 🙂 A super little hound, who tested well with the terrier but can get excited by a leaf falling lol. Not been out of the area yet but no doubt she’ll enjoy that too 🙂

Bonio
Racing Name: Ondogandbone
Date of Birth: January 2022
A handsome boy who is very new in. After the initial excitement he settles well once walking but struggles to walk a straight line lol. He did meet Bugley the terrier and was a bit full on but not aggressive and took Bugley’s telling off well. Still settling and improving every day – will keep you posted on his progress.

Chance
Racing Name: Easy Chance
Date of Birth: October 2021
What a striking chap! A handsome chap but not the brightest! Can’t walk a straight line but easy enough to walk so long as you don’t trip over him lol. Was a bit excited by the terrier but not aggressive just interested and a bit full on (he did get told off by Bugley but took a time to register lol). Did settle and realised the error of his ways – maybe I’m being harsh but not the quickest learner 🙂 Loves a toy and can often be seen walking round the paddock ‘nursing’ his latest find. Will give it up without protest but really would like to take to bed, which his kennel mate wouldn’t appreciate! Not been out yet but guess he’ll be his normal goofball self – will keep you updated. A loveable boy but he’ll never be an obedience champion lol, but will make a great companion.

Chas
Racing Name: Charlie Emtrynie
Date of Birth: October 2019
No I haven’t spelt his name wrong – who thinks these up?? Looks a bit serious in his picture but not in real life. A happy, charming boy, a big lad but luckily has good manners and walks well for our volunteers. Has been in a home and was impeccably behaved apart from his over excitement with little dogs, this needs some work but not impossible. Just a bit too much for his previous owners. If you have the knowledge and time to work with him and other breeds he could become your perfect dog 🙂

Connel
Racing Name: Scattered Canelo
Date of Birth: January 2020
Connel has been in a home with 2 other dogs, so is house trained but unfortunately after quite some time, was becoming increasingly dominent with them. A high energy boy who loves people but needs some rules and boundaries to make him a really happy boy. He is bright and learns quickly but this also means he learns good & bad in equal measure, given the opportunity! Has been out and about quite a lot and loves his adventures, he will however approach any human for a fuss! A great boy who maybe needs to be the only dog in the home. Connel deserves a second chance, could you be the one to give him this??

Daz
Racing Name: Bitcoin Dazzler
Date of Birth: September 2020
Another striking chap who is a favorite with the staff due to his good manners and laid back attitude. Super tolerant of his nutty kennel mate, for which he needs a medal!! He’s a bit more switched on out walking but still an easy enough guy. Is waiting his turn to venture outside to the park but a clever lad who will soon adjust. Can be overlooked coz he’s not in your face but will make a great pet we’re sure 🙂

Dream
Racing Name: Salahs Dream
Date of Birth: July 2021
She really is a dream!! What a lovely girl this is. She has that kind demeanour which shines through. A dream to walk (must stop saying dream lol but it’s true!!) and couldn’t have been more polite when meeting the terrier. Very new in and she’s still taking in her new home here but all with good grace and perfect manners. First to meet will whisk her off I’m sure 🙂

Egg
Racing Name: Runny Egg
Date of Birth: December 2019
An all round good egg 🙂 A larger boy, who loves life and is always happy to greet you, or anyone else for that matter lol. Needs some work with other breeds but can settle and has walked nicely out at the park on several occasions. A really good natured boy who just needs to see more of the world. A great chap who everyone here loves, just needs a guiding hand while he adjusts to the excitement of home life.

Fi
Racing Name: Hollyoak Fiona
Date of Birth: October 2020
We’ve had Fi a while as she has had trouble with her feet poor girl. Corns, then sore feet from trying to walk off the corns. We think she’s sorted now with a little op and much tlc. However, she is the MOST Stubborn hound you have ever met and will plant herself if she doesn’t want to do something!! Miraculously has no trouble sprinting into our Tea Hut for some one on one time, where she morphs into a playful puppy 🙂 Getting her back out is a different matter! I love the bones of this girl, she is hilarious and loves me too. Unfortunately she’s not so keen on other breeds so wouldn’t tolerate Bugley (I do think she could learn this) but on top of this I walk miles because of the terrier and whilst she does enjoy her walks (if it suits her!), very long walks would be her worst nightmare! Reluctantly I write this to find her the home she so deserves.

Hawk
Racing Name: Mohawk Spirit
Date of Birth: October 2022
Another stunning looking, younger chap 🙂 A lovely lad who is so very well behaved around kennels and out on his walks in the woods. He’s interested in everything but walks nicely and is very interactive and loves a good fuss. Was ok with Bugley the terrier up close and personal but can be excited by other breeds (or even his own) running in the distance. Still a young boy with a lovely temperament who will thrive once he has more exposure to the excitement of life outside of racing. One of the volunteers favourites 🙂

JJ
Racing Name: Bolgers Bullet
Date of Birth: October 2021
A big handsome chap who luckily is a real gent 🙂 Walks nicely on his lead and has great manners both being handled and with his kennel mate. Was a little excited by the terrier but soon settled once Bugley showed him his gnashers lol, will be fine with a little exposure. A loveable chap who we will try to get out asap as he just needs to see the world and then he’ll be the best boy ever. Got to love this one !
-
King
Racing Name: One Cool King
Date of Birth: July 2020
Another lump who doesn’t know his size lol. A big, bouncy lad who has a certain joie de vivre and who you can count on to make you laugh. Tested with Bugley (the terrier) well, once Bugley told him to take it steady in no uncertain terms, backed off and learnt to approach with less enthusiasm! A great boy who learns quickly but who would need an owner experienced enough to curb his enthusiasm and enjoy his love of life. A lot of fun for the right household 🙂

Lulu Lollipop
Racing Name: Flyers Effect
Date of Birth: April 2022
LLL came to us as a stray, she never raced here but did briefly in Ireland. As a stray, little is known about her life since she left racing. All we can say is that she is super friendly, happy, good with other breeds, walks like a dream, travels well in the car – what else could you want. She does need another dog for company as she hatees being alone but it needn’t be a greyhound. She also loves her food so no doubt will be a counter surfer until she knows better. Nobody’s perfect but she comes very close 🙂

Luna
Racing Name : Dreamin Luna
Date of Birth: September 2023
We didn’t get off to the best start as Luna came in the gate and launched herself into a full body hug with me!! She is forgiven as she’s just a baby really and whilst she will still chance a ‘cuddle’ at every opportunity she is learning it’s not really the way to go. A super little youngster who ended her own racing career after only 10 races by not really chasing the bunny on a rail. She had already been warned but it’s just not her thing lol. Unsurprisingly she was fine with terrier as she is with all other dogs. She has been out with Keith one of our volunteers who usually takes out the more challenging dogs – a whole new experience for him as she greeted every person and dog she met as a long lost friend 🙂 Walks nicely on her lead and was born to be a pet. A great addition to anyone’s home we think 🙂

Merit
Racing Name: Jacktavern Ace
Date of Birth: May 2022
Merit is a true gent and a loveable munchkin 🙂 He’s a handsome, stocky chap but not overly tall for a boy. He walks beautifully until he sees a squirrel but isn’t uncontrollable. He has spent a few days in foster and was clean in the house, slept through the night and got on well with the resident 2 greys. Merit is also good with other breeds, so much so he can run around loose in the yard with Bugley the terrier without a muzzle (we did work up to this). He does still get over excited if small dogs are running in the distance while in the park but once reminded of his manners soon settles. A lovely boy who will make a great pet 🙂

Moolah
Racing Name: Harlequin Money
Date of Birth: September 2021
What a super girly 🙂 Not a single problem with this one so far, makes for an easy life! Walks nicely and really enjoys her outings, kennels well with her big hunk of a boyfriend 🙂 Tested well with the terrier, has been out to the park and was a joy to have – Interested in some other breeds but only curious, mostly walked on a loose lead and a super friendly girl 🙂 What more could you want??
-
Penny
Racing Name: Coolemore Penny
Date of Birth: October 2021
Beautiful Penny but we do think she knows it lol. Lovely girl who walks well and has been out to the park and behaved impeccably. Didn’t mind Bugley the terrier at all and loves a good fuss. A very uncomplicated girl who is the right degree of confident. Her only fault is she can be posessive with her food, not with humans but around other dogs. Could live with another dog if this is taken into account when feeding. Much to like – we do 🙂

Sammy
Racing Name: Touchdown Baby
Date of Birth: August 2019
Sammy is a delightful smaller girl, who has super manners and is always pleased to see you. She shares well with her kennel mate and is no problem around other greyhounds. She does however not like other breeds at all 🙁 Very early days and if she can just get more exposure, we are sure she will improve as she’s a clever girl. Apart from this, the perfect pet, so we’ll work on her here and see where we can get. Such a shame but nobody’s perfect!
-
Sandy
Racing Name: Slowlane Sandy
Date of Birth: August 2021
Nothing slowlane about Sandy lol. A full on girly who enjoys every minute of her life. She can be a bit of puller on the lead but soon stops with correction. Can’t be annoyed with her for this as she’s having such a great time 🙂 Beautiful, but think she knows it, she can be a bit full on but no malice. Once she’d got over her initial excitement, she did manage to settle around the terrier, so think it’s just a matter of repetition and exposure. A lovely girl who needs to start taking retirement more seriously lol
-
Seanie
Racing Name: Sleepy Seanie
Date of Birth: June 2019
Such a good looking boy and a lovely chap 🙂 Can be a little wary of new people but soon warms to them. Not overly affectionate but does form a bond with those people he knows well. Has been here a while as he’s had trouble with a front toe, after much deliberation we had it amputated and problem gone away 🙂 A much happier boy without it! Due to this he’s only just started his education outside of the kennel environment, very vocal and over excited by other breeds initially but all stems from fear. One of our volunteers Keith has taken him under his wing and he is improving with every outing now they have a bond and with gentle encouragement from Keith. A lovely lad who could live alone or with another grey and with someone to continue his training with other dogs. A super boy who will make a great pet in the right hands 🙂
-
Simba
Racing Name: Murdan Lad
Date of Birth: August 2022
Striking looking chap that you can’t help but squeeze – luckily he seems to enjoy this lol. A big, furry teddy bear of a grey who enjoys his walks and behaves well around kennels. Kennels well with his slightly scatty girly. A bit over zealous with the terrier but the sort who will get the idea with exposure. We will get him out and about as soon as we can, as apart from this he is a great chap 🙂
-
Smartie
Racing Name: Dark Slayer
Date of Birth: November 2018
Who would call a dog Dark Slayer?? Especially one as nice as Smartie? A big lad who has settled in well but can get excited by new things. No real aggression towards the smaller dogs but can be rude around them when he gets too stimulated. Around kennels an easy, happy lad who is enjoying his time with us. Smartie just needs a bit more exposure to the real world. A great boy 🙂
-
Waltzer
Racing Name: Waltz Madge
Date of Birth: January 2021
Waltzer is not a small girl but large in frame and in heart 🙂 Lovely lass who is a joy to have in kennels and after her initial over-excitement about walking has settled into a steady girl out round our local woods. Tested well with the terrier and has been out to the park once, again initial excitement but soon settled and had a great time as did her handler 🙂 A bright girl who learns to accept new situations quickly and should make the adjustment to home life well. Everything to like here!
