fingers crossed for Mack I was so chuffed when i came in this morning to see a sticker on him

Mack has hopefully finally found his forever home after over 2 years with us. He has gone out on a 2 week trial and if all goes well they will keep him for good. Everyone please send him lots of love and luck. It's about time he had some luck!

We are in desperate need to move several dogs that need moving to a safe haven

We need 2 dogs that are urgent need to be moved with in 3 days they need moving from Oxford to near cardith south wales

We need to move 1 bitch from south Wales Cardith to Swindon on Sat morning

Congratulations to Sophie & Carl on your engagement hope all the plans & the big day run smoothly for you

Just to say that the loverly Noah (now Lombard) is settling in with us very well and that he will be coming to an archery shoot at our stables this w/e to meet all the people and dogs of our re-enactment group ^_^ . Although we have only had him for a few days he already feels like part of the family :).

Thank you EGLR for bringing this gorgeous boy in to our lives ;)

Lots of love,

The Pembridge Family and Lombard

Hi Everyone, I'm sorry to have to tell you all that we had to have Tara the Sponsor Dog put to sleep this morning. She has been a force in our lives for such a long time that she has left a massive hole. Our Dobermann Henry sat with his head hanging off the sofa for an hour, really upset. We'll miss her terribly but the time had come to help her over Rainbow Bridge where Paddy, Jess and Maurice were waiting for her. Lots of love Tara, you'll always be in our thoughts. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi we adopted Helen ( now known as Lolly) 1st week of November - just thought i would give a quick update - will send photos once Christmas is over - just wanted to say a big thank you to all at EGLR for letting us have a beautiful, bouncy completly bonkers little girl - she has settled in well and gives everyone in the family love and affection - yesterday she was spade so is a little poorily at the moment and feeling very sorry for herself! and letting everyone know it - bless her - merry christmas to you all!!

Hi, Lucky here .  I just wanted to let you know that I am settling in nicely with my new pack.  They are all very tolerant to a boisterous puppy, although I have been gently put in my place a couple of times and I am continuing to learn my boundaries.  The whippet, Millicent, is now thawing out, thank goodness, having spent yesterday glaring at me, and actually decided she wanted to play with me this morning so we had great fun haring around the kitchen dodging the two-legs and trying not to bounce on the other dogs .

I had a lovely time at my foster home and my new two-legs say thank you very much to my foster parents for doing such a good job of teaching me some manners, and for housetraining me so well over the last two weeks. 

I had my second lot of vaccs this morning and I am looking forward to being allowed out with the big dogs in the not too distant future.

Thank you EGLR for rescuing me .  I look forward to sending you updates on my progress in the future.

Merry Christmas everyone!  Lots of love from Lucky and her new family xx

Hello this is Pip and Bobby to say that after some 4 years or more, we are still going strong. Still enjoying life with our human family. We are walked each and every day and we have so many canine friends here in town. We are looking forward to the festive holiday as we get to spend more time with our cousin, Lassie, she even brings us presents. Anyway we just want to wish all you wonderful people at EGLR a very Happy Christmas and to all those dogs in your care, we hope that you find you forever homes very soon, all we can say is that it will be worth the wait. Lots of licks and tailwags, Pip and Bobby xx

I am sorry to hear that Sparky is back with you. I first met Sparky a couple of years ago in Salisbury. Pip bought him to a training class that I was at with my beautiful lurcher Holly. He is gorgeous and I fell for him there and then. But my other half is persistent in his NO NO NO!!!

I have donated through Paypal - sooooo easy.

Fionn...The Finn has gone lts lonely here without him.....Away with Louis and 2 very nice humans.......1 drives a 2CV so hes going to have so much fun....Love Wilfred...x p.s think Tudor could come and stay for a short while...needs sorting with Jonny....

Just a quick update to let you know Tealeaf Ducu and Tiggy (was Missy who had the pups) have all arrived safely and were allowed out today after their two week mini-quarantine.  They are all happy and well and LOVED the beach this morning.

If anyone is interested, you can catch up with pictures of them on their blog ( http://tighgadhar.blogspot.com/ ).

Love to everyone and especially the dogs, good luck with all the rehoming :-)

All the best!

Kerri & Brian

We have dogs coming in so fast we can't get them all on the website. If none of the dogs on our adoption pages are suitable please give us a call, we may have just the lurcher you are looking for.

We would like to remind everyone to come along to the raffle draw coffee morning it would be great to see lots of people attend we have got some lovely home made cakes and a cup of tea or coffee on offer and also the chance to have a good chin wag about greyhound and lurchers

We look forward to seeing every one

Ok  I really don't understand why Jem is still with me, she is such an easy dog!  Pip only sent her to us because she was unsure of the medical condition of her, she's the he/she mentioned on the home page a few weeks ago.  All that is sorted now, she was completely normal and is now spayed, micro-chipped and vaccinated.

Jem has just been away with us for the weekend, we visited friends who own a riding stables, she was fantastic, not at all bothered by the horses.  There are 4 dogs at the stables and she mixed well with 3 of them, we know from past attempts that Simba doesn't take kindly to visitors.  Her favourite was probably Kipper, a 2 year old white German Shepard, they had a good game of chase out in the field.

Jem would really love a forever home for her birthday in a couple of weeks.

Hi all,

I know we only announced it last week but unfortunately there won't be a blog this week because Pip has been really poorly with a nasty chest infection and has hardly been able to get out of bed! I hope you'll all join me in wishing her well and look forward to a double blog next week

So sad to see bobby and alfie back for rehoming again, also i pray for mack to find a home soon, he's been waiting so long.

Just thought I drop a note to say our Jem is still looking for her forever home, she is a lovely dog, easy to have around in all ways.  She has had quite a bit of interest but things seem to go wrong at the last minute for her.  I really can't fault this dog, if it wasn't for all the others that need to be rescued I would keep her, but then I wouldn't be able to foster anymore.  So come on give us a call and ask about our lovely girl.

As many of you will have noticed every so often Pip writes a little piece for the home page keeping you all up to date on what has been going on around here. Well we have finally managed to convince her to do a little update every week (Well, it's Pip and she could talk for England so it probably won't be a little update!!).

Just a rminder that the annual draw is being held on 24th of this month so you need to get your draw tickets sold and the money back to us ASAP to be in with a chance to win one of our cash prizes.

Just to let you all know Teckles are having thier anual fun day & dog show this weekend sunday the 6th sept 11-4. In the field behind atwools

Hi all, we are absolutely desperate for tinned dog food and blankets. We have had a few poorly and elderly dogs in recently which has cleaned us out! If you are able to donate any of either of these things please give us a call.

Just a reminder that this Sunday there is a tabletop sale in aid of EGLR going on at Cassington Village hall. Please come along and help us raise some money to help the dogs in our care.

Well, she's just perfect. Our Kiki got on really well with her and we thought she was just lovely. She's very affectionate and playful but also calm and cuddly. We've now reserved her and willl be picking her up and bringing her to her own forever home in a weeks time after we return from our holiday in Scotland. Kiki will be a very proud big sister.

I've been contemplating an addition to my one dog family for some time now and have arranged to visit/meet Nalah on thursday. We're really looking forward to it. She looks lovely. Very similar to my current hound. I just hope they hit it off. Fingers crossed.

So pleased to see my mates have found forever homes..keep up the good work all you folks....Mack needs his soon... he tells me he would love a forever home, his own family..maybe hes next...I'm crossing my paws. Love Wilfred Nigel xxx P.S I have my eye on Zoe (Its like looking in a mirror..) Shes so ...gorgeous ........

May I just say how overjoyed we are that Bryn has found his forever home - from what I can gather in the Forest :) I am so glad he has finally found the right home, and we wish him all the best for the future as he was such a lovely boy when he came to stay. Clare must be so happy, and yet I am sure that there is a temporary hole left - soon to be filled by the next foster dog no doubt. Well done to all of you for persevering. I'll take down the flyers I did for him at the vets etc. So so very happy, well done!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

PS we have found a Saluki X for adoption at the Cheltenham Animal Shelter where I volunteer, a lovely submissive boy called Trigger, just what we were looking for - and the boys love him to bits. We hope to pick him up this weekend, but will not stop us from spreading the word about your organisation and all the good you do - keep up the good work!

Hi Helen, thank you so much for giving me the update on Tara-really happy it's such good news (named donation now on way). I have a very old girl myself who has done something very similar with me. Was at death's door last June and the vet actually called me in to say goodbye, then she made nothing short of a miraculous recovery and, amazingly we've now had her for an additional year for which we feel extremely blessed (and extremely grateful to our wonderful vet-my unsung hero!) I would have been happy with any extra time so this has been a huge bonus. Also fantastic news about Bryn whose ups and downs I've been following avidly - 3 dogs in the house  and a husband threatening divorce if another appears or I would have rung up about him! Great to hear such good news from you all (and sincerest sympathies for those for whom things haven't been so great). Think you all do a great job up there. Sara
