Sarge is a tall, lanky lad with a gentle heart and very little awareness of his size. After four months in a home, he returned to kennels through no fault of his own — a busy household with children was simply too much for him. He can be boisterous when excited, but underneath he’s affectionate, sensitive, and bonds deeply once he feels safe.

In the home he was clean, settled when left, good on the lead, and very people‑oriented. He struggled with narrow pavements, busy roads, and the excitement of children playing, and he showed some stress‑related guarding toward certain visitors. Since coming back to kennels, none of this has reappeared. He’s relaxed with staff, welcomes fuss, greets visitors politely, and is comfortable with male volunteers.

Out and about, Sarge is friendly and enthusiastic but very strong on the lead and a bit too boisterous around small children. With consistent handling he responds well to training. His personality is a mix of goofy, loving, sensitive, and slightly chaotic; he loves attention, gets excited about outings, and curls himself into tiny balls to sleep.

Sarge needs an adult‑only, calm, spacious home with carpeted areas, a clear safe space to retreat to, and someone confident and physically capable of managing a big, powerful dog. He’ll benefit from continued socialisation and cannot live with cats.

In the right environment, Sarge will shine. He’s affectionate, clean, trainable, and wonderfully loyal once he trusts you. He isn’t suited to first‑time owners, but for someone experienced and patient, he’ll be an incredibly rewarding companion.

Every month one of our kennelhands chooses a greyhound that they feel is most deserving of a new home. This month's choice was made by kennelhand Stacey.

Dolcie is a sweet, gentle girl who walks beautifully on the lead. She may come across as a little reserved at first, but once she’s had time to settle, her playful and affectionate nature shines through.

She recently spent a few days in a home with two small‑breed dogs (one male, one female). She got along very well with them, but the home itself wasn’t the right match. During her short stay she did fret, which is very common for greyhounds transitioning from kennels into a completely new environment. Despite this, she was clean in the home, ate well, and was close to being the perfect house guest.

Dolcie will thrive in a home with a friendly, calm, well‑established male greyhound or another steady dog. Having a confident canine companion will help guide her, offer reassurance, and make the transition into home life much easier for her.

She’s a lovely girl with so much potential — she just needs the right home and a gentle friend to show her the ropes.
