HANNAH



2 year old, lively, black female.
Hannah is used to lots of human contact and loves her people.
She is fairly easy going and is contented to flop out and relax after her daily walk.
Can be a bit bossy, so would be best as an only dog, or with a laid back boy who won't mind her taking the lead!

Currently in kennels in Norfolk.

IVAN



4 year old, black boy, with a distinguished, greying face.
Ivan had a successful racing life and has been well looked after throughout his career.
We would now like to find him the retirement home he deserves after all his hard work.
Ivan is very friendly, loves being around people, and is used to small children.
He is good on the lead and walks well in busy areas and near traffic.
Unfortunately, Ivan will not be able to live with cats or small dogs.

Currently in kennels in Ireland.


FLURRY



3 year old, white & black boy, with lovely markings and soulful eyes.
Flurry is a very friendly, calm and quiet boy, who adores attention and tends to take things in his stride.
He gets on well with other dogs around his size and walks beautifully on the lead.
Flurry would be a very easy going boy for someone thinking of taking on a greyhound.
He has not yet lived in a home environment, but with some time and patience he will soon learn what a sofa is for!

BRANDON



Beautifully marked, 2 year old male, with a light brindle coat and very striking eyes.
Named after a Kerry mountain, Brandon is a large, well mannered boy who is used to being handled and walks well on the lead.
Though only a young lad, he sometimes looks as if he has the world on his shoulders.
We are certain that once in a loving home environment, Brandon will lose his world weary look and learn how to relax.
Brandon has not yet been cat tested.

PATCH



16 month old, white & black female.
Patch is a quiet, slightly timid girl who hasn't yet seen much of the world outside of kennels.
Once she knows you she is very affectionate and loves her cuddles.
Her nervousness will decrease with time, socialisation and a reassuring owner.
Patch was trained for racing (racing name "Kidology") but didnt make the grade and has never actually run a race.
She is also suitable to live with small dogs and cats.

MATTIE



Handsome, 2 year old, light brindle boy.
Mattie is a quiet soul who is very well mannered and walks perfectly on the lead.
He really loves his head rubs, gets on well with other dogs, and is cat friendly.
Lovely Mattie hasn't yet lived in a home environment, but it shouldn't take him too long to figure out the joys of sofa roaching!

Currently in kennels in Ireland.


BESS



Gorgeous, black female, approx 16 months old.
Her race name is "Has She Gone", but she has never raced.
Bess is a shy girl who is timid of strangers, but sweet and affectionate once she gets to know you.
She is looking for a calm, understanding owner who is willing to work on building her confidence.
Bess is both cat and small dog friendly.

Currently in kennels in Ireland.


DOTTIE



Fabulous, 4 year old, white & black girl, who has pretty little spots all over her body!
Dottie is a quiet girl and she loves nothing more than curling up in a soft, warm bed.
She is a little shy of new situations and people, but this will disappear once her confidence grows.
Dottie raced 14 times and never won any, she is fine with small dogs and cats.

EARTH



Sweet, 2 year old, black boy.
Earth is a dainty lad and smaller than your average male greyhound.
He had damaged his front left leg before coming to us, and it has healed in a slightly misaligned fashion.
This former injury doesn't hamper Earth in anyway and he loves going for walks with the rest of his kennel mates.
Earth has yet to be cat tested.

STEWIE



*RESERVED*
Handsome, 4 year old, black boy.
Stewie has been in our kennels for over 6 months, and was due to go to a home in the New Year.
Sadly, due to personal reasons, his home offer has now fallen through.
He is quite a big boy, but very friendly, and Stewie loves to be around people and receive affection.
Unfortunately, he will not be able to live in a home with cats.
Please consider offering Stewie his forever sofa - he is patiently waiting to be loved.

CHARLIE



3 year old, female with a lovely dark brindle coat.
Charlie is a quiet, laid back girl who gets on well with the other greyhounds.
She didnt make the grade for a racer, but was used for breeding and has had a litter of pups in the past.
She is quite big for a female, but isn't boisterous - just a very sweet girl who enjoys being around people.

Currently in kennels in Ireland.


MAEVE



*RESERVED*
Pretty, 2 year old black & white female.
Maeve has been retired from racing as she has absolutely no desire to chase.
She is currently being kept with her owner as a pet, but may need a little encouragement with house training.
Maeve is a shy girl and can be quite timid with strangers.
There is a possibility that Maeve may be able to live in a home with cats.

Currently in Ireland.


TOFFEE & FUDGE



*RESERVED FOR BELGIUM*
Toffee is a gorgeous fawn girl with a lovely manner.
She is sharing her kennel with a beautiful fawn boy called Fudge.
Together they make a striking pair, although they can be adopted separately.
Neither has yet been cat tested, and we hope to have more information soon.

[Carmel]

(IMG:http://www.sighthoundsonline.org.uk/forums/style_emoticons/default/throb.gif)
I fell in love with Miko when I first saw his pic, and tried to persuade a local lady to consider him for her monther. Alas, the lady has decided she will wait a while before adopting a dog. I'm sorry to see he's still in kennels.
If only my house and garden were bigger!

RUBY



Gentle, 2 year old, black female.
Ruby was originally bought as a racer, but was found to be too nervous for the track.
Her owner then kept her in a shed with another greyhound and provided little socialisation or affection.
When Ruby went to foster care she was very timid and unused to the outside world.
It is now felt that 6 months on Ruby is ready to make the move to her forever home.
She currently lives as part of a family with small children and other dogs.
Ruby has bonded with her female fosterer, but is still very wary of men.
She will need to go to a home with a strong female presence, that has the time and patience to understand her.
Ruby is a beautiful, happy dog now, and ready for the next step in her life.
Unfortunately, she is not cat friendly.

Currently in foster care in Northern Ireland.


STARS



Quiet, 4 year old, blue brindle male.
Stars has been returned to Kerry Greyhounds as his owner sadly died suddenly.
He's a lovely boy who swings his tail round in big silly circles when he's excited.
Stars is a bit shy, but gives the biggest toothiest grins you've ever seen.
He gave the local hairdresser quite a turn when he treated her to his best smile last week!

Currently in foster care in Norfolk.

FINLAY



*ADOPTED*
Cat friendly, 5 year old, white & brindle boy.
Finlay's current owners are unable to keep him due to relocating and being unable to have a dog.
He is a friendly boy, very obedient and with a lovely temperament.
He is fully integrated with other farm animals, including the cats who often sleep draped over him.
Finlay is ruled by his stomach and will eat anything he is given or that he can find, and this is really his only fault.
He is definitely a family pet who will need the care and attention that a loving home will bring him.
