A week ago we had a successful stall at the Woof Fest, where the public got to meet some greyhounds, even if the conditions were rather muddy!! Thanks to Donna, Deb, Nora and Ed for organising this and it was good to see Trish with Willow and Rhianna with Sarah at the event.
This weekend Nora and Ed again did the North Sydney Market stall and raised $400 for Greyhound Rescue and we thank them for another great effort. It was good to see Willow with all his foster family, Jane, Isabella, etc, Joe and family with Greenhounds Sandy and Bear, and David and Janet who are going to bring Roy along next time. We will be at the North Sydney Market the second Saturday each month, so why not come along and see us next time.

Charlie came to us in 1999, before our greyhound days, when he had been a ‘naughty’ boy in a Rescue and was going to be euthanaised the next day. However, a friend had other ideas, got him out of the Rescue and asked us to keep him just for the night. That one night became 13 years!
In the early days Charlie was certainly a challenge but like them all he has been a loving pet who will be sadly missed. Charlie was the last of the 6 pets we brought back to Sydney from the UK in 2001 and marks the end of an era.
Today he passed away peacefully with his head on Jan’s lap. Rest in peace Charlie. Lots of love . Peter and Janet.

Beautiful Julz is an absolute sweetie. She is affectionate and just loves to be with you all the time. Your typical “velcro” greyhound!
She is currently living with 2 other dogs in a foster home in Melbourne.
A comfy indoor bed, lots of yummy food (she does love her food!) and Julz will be one happy greyhound.
Julz we feel would love to find a quiet forever home where she could be loved and adored for the wonderful greyhound she is.
She walks well on a lead and is toilet trained. Julz needs a forever home with other dogs for company and would be ideal for retirees or someone who works from home.
Julz is not cat friendly.
Inquiries to Kayleigh on 0424 569 148
Julz is :
- 7 years old
- desexed
- C5 vaccinated
- microchipped
- heartworm tested and treated

Blueboy has gone on Trial with Tracey.
| Nora and husband David adopted the magnificent Blueboy about 18 months ago and unfortunately have to go overseas with their work. Even more unfortunately the posting is to Kenya and if they take Blueboy he will not be allowed to return. Consequently they are looking for someone to adopt Blueboy. He will be 7 in May 2012 and is a “special needs boy”. He is in foster care in Fairlight, Sydney.
Nora writes:
Hi Peter,
I hope someone will take him soon as he is the perfect dog. This is absolutely heartbreaking for us and we will miss him dearly. Thank you for bringing him into our lives and we appreciate what you and Janet are doing for these beautiful creatures.
Handsome, magnificent, gentle, goofy, playful, chilled out and well mannered are just some of Blueboy’s characteristics. There is nothing more I could ask for, he is the perfect dog in every way imaginable.
Since he came into our lives 18 months ago, he has brought so much joy with his goofiness, love and devotion. I always have his company getting through the house chores. He loves to bask in the sun while I garden. He is a true companion and it is heartbreaking that we no longer are able to care for this beautiful creature.
With his excellent manners, feeding & bath time are such a breeze. Chicken wings, apples and carrots are some of his favorites. He has a fascination with the car. Absolutely loves going for a ride in the car or even a rest in it.
He gets along well with most dogs of all sizes but not very keen on small yappy dogs as he was attacked by a couple of them twice before and being the gentleman that he is, he prefers to walk away. We get a lot of admiration when we take this big fella on our walkabout. Everyone just loves to give him cuddles and kisses. He loves people, fantastic with children and babies but not with cats.
He does suffer from epilepsy and is on medication. Due to his condition, he is more suited to a home where someone is home often.
We will miss our gentle giant and we hope someone out there can offer him a loving home soon. All he needs is your love, cuddles and kisses.
Regards
Nora

Bobby has gone on Trial with Patrick and Kath.
Have you ever seen a more aristocratic and elegant looking greyhound than Bobby?
A lovely lady gave Bobby a few days away from the kennels this week end and he loved every minute of it, especially on the beach, and this is what Trisha had to say:
‘He is a delightful and gentle soul.
He loves attention and had a farewell, on going back to the kennels, from some pre school aged kids this morning and the baby who is 17 months old. He had a tail wag and enjoyed them.
He lazed in the sun in the back yard today. Got closer to the cats and they all survived 5 days together!
He would be a good candidate for working people I think as he enjoyed the yard on his own. Great in the house where he spent most of his time and Bobby did not climb on the furniture.
He was coming to get hugs in the end. It was hard for me to take him back for sure but I hope we helped him to find a good home..No accidents in the house at all.
Walks very easy on the lead. I went through the door first when going in and out and he was happy with that as well. Not demanding either.! He is curious and likes to play with toys. Exciting!!
He is a catch and people should not be put off by his size! He did not seem to take as much space as the beautiful Willow who is smaller. He curled up nicely to sleep at the foot of our bed on cushions but tried to sleep on the floor or half and half.’
Bobby is:
* 4 years old
* desexed
* microchipped
* vaccinated
* heartworm tested and treated
* costs $300
