Glitter Star Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 A couple of posts ago I mentioned getting a whippet for my mum. We looked into it and they are pretty pricey and we couldn't find any rescue whippets. But then we looked into greyhounds, and there are just so many needing good homes, that we got a rescue greyhound yesterday. She was called Fable at the rescue centre, but now she's called Roxie and so far she is doing well. She's calm, housetrained and friendly. We like her a lot and it was best to give a rescue dog a home. There were 75 there yesterday and it's just really upsetting that they can't find homes for them all.
rubydazzler Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 She's lovely! They are such great dogs, very calm and laid back, in my limited experience. There must be someone around my neck of the woods who rehomes this breed, as there are so many about. They are all the sweetest natured, friendliest dogs you could ever hope to meet.
pinklady Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 aww, nice one she looks lovely ...... and good for you
joanne5600 Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 nice - maybe you could come walking with me and bullet
Moonbird Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 She looks really gorgeous, and from Tia....I would love to go up there, 75 dogs all needing homes I never realised that they had so many though I knew that there was a lot. Maybe one day they will have a cat friendly for me too
katkin Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 aww she is lovely- well done you! I LOVE greyhounds but dobermutt won't let me have one. Breaks your heart to know so many are in rescue...
Gemima Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Wow congratulations on your new pointy dog. I am so jealous but like Moonbird I need a cat and small furry friendly Grey. It is my ambition to own a Greyhound one day......one day......
Adz Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 oooh how wonderful, she does look lovely congratulations:). You shall have to get your grey a coat and some nice warm jammies ordered from anna293 of the forum i cannot recommend them enough.
