Onion (Bolt For Me), pictured centre and now called Dala, worked her magic upon her foster family and turned their duo of Erin hounds into a trio! They are beautifully matched as you can see!

Katie (Katie’s Pearl) is now called Holly and is proving to be a fantastic companion, when she is awake (!) and a much loved pet. We look forward to seeing her again at one of our events.

With the change of season, came a change in fortune for Autumn (Autumn Dawn). After a spell in foster care, she now has a home all to herself and is looking forward to spring and summer so she can enjoy exploring the local countryside.

Things certainly stacked up for Jenga (now Ellie) on the left, who is playing a vital role in making her new home’s décor symmetrical, by bookending the sofa with her new chum, Lemmy.

Woody (unregistered greyhound) decided that chasing things wasn’t for him, and found himself a lovely home where he can snooze his days away on the sofa.

Noddy (Fatboyz Nodrog) has found a loving home with Ivy, another Erin Hound, who made his acquaintance at our Meet and Greet. Now he can get his head down without ever having to worry where his next comfy cushion is coming from.

Ex- brood bitch Zena (Zena’s Star) now has her own human puppy to read her a bedtime story while  she reclines on the couch. Please support our efforts to ensure more greyhounds like Zena have a happy ending.

Basil (Forelacka Cause) is a TV addict. In his new home, he is finding catching up on the programmes he missed while stuck in racing kennels, quite exhausting.

Streets, now Seamus. This little man was resigned to living on the streets after his owner died and had spent at least two winters fending for himself. He’s now looking forward to life in a home with new friend Caspar the whippet for company. Big thanks to his foster family for reintroducing Seamus to the joys of home life.

Dusky (Dusky Lady) found herself in a desperate situation in the pound, but was rescued in the nick of time and now finds herself in a very different situation – in the best spot in the house and surrounded by a loving family

Little lurcher Maud (now Holly) is floating on Cloud 9 in her new home where she will enjoy holidays in her new family’s mobile home and lots of care and attention.

In his foster home, Monkey now Declan(Black Monk) learned a lot from resident ex- Erin foster dogs, Monty and Beauty….. the most important being how to get under your fosterers’ skin so much that they adopt you! Here he enjoys the spoils with his other house mate, the ever tolerant Jinxy.

It’s the country life for Orson! With three doggy pals, and acres of land to play in, Orson has found himself in something approaching doggy heaven. Good luck Orson, you certainly deserve it!

Lovely girl Daisy waited a long time for her perfect home. She is loving living in the countryside with her new family and sharing the sofa with three handsome doggy companions.

Phillo, is really enjoying tickles in all the right places. This boy, on his forever sofa, is a sight we have longed to see. Stay safe, handsome lad.

Yolo ( Sheeaun Yolo ) is making the most of the life she is lucky enough to still have, have been born a greyhound in Ireland. She sprinted towards the long anticipated couch in her new home, knowing full well that You Only Live Once. We wish her every happiness as a pet.

Gemini (now Milly), a shy stray lurcher has moved onto a life of love and happy times. Thank you to her new owners for coming forward to adopt rather than buy – three cheers for common sense and true dog lovers.

Picked up as an emaciated stray on the streets of Dublin, Finn finally finds himself in every hound’s favourite position – upside down with his legs in the air, in a comfy bed and surrounded by a loving family with two children to play with. Thanks to the chain of caring people who helped him reach his forever home.

Kew Melody is perpetuating the botanical theme by studying her namesake (she is now called Buttercup) in her new home which comes complete with duck pond and bluebell wood. She was saved from a pound as was her mother Kew Diamond (also rehomed by Erin Hounds), the latter being skeletal with an open leg wound extruding wire from an old break….only 12 weeks after having Buttercup

Big softie Toby, now Milo the Flash, is adored purely for himself now rather than the cups he won in his former life as racer, Mags Gamble. He prefers to take his good fortune lying down which we think is very fitting for a top pet.

From stray to serenity personifed. We are sure you will agree that Saffron is much more classy than any scatter cushion could ever be!

Brumble, now Lily, has found a loving home with two children to play with, and now has a rosy future ahead of her.

Nutmeg, the lonely young stray has now blossomed into Megan, the loved pet. She has lots to learn about the outside world and her new family are happy to guide her along and ensure she becomes a good canine citizen.

Amy, now Gypsy (right), has everything she ever dreamed of with a warm and caring home and a handsome fellow, Sunny as her new best friend. A far cry from her former life of neglect and a much-deserved lucky break for this sweet girl.

Sandy is now a much loved pet in a family with 3 children, a kitten and a massive garden to tear around in, which he loves. Great result for an innocent soul who was handed in as an 8 week old stray to a NWSPCA charity shop

Destiny ( now Dessy) was a petrified starved wreck but look at her now! Having tried out all the beds, she likes this one best along with her new lurcher and feline house mates. Wouldn’t it be amazing if only we could cut out the suffering that these poor hounds go through first.

Home at last. Ranchero ( now Diesel) after living feral for over a year in Ireland, won the sofa dash in his new home where he lives with Gypsy ( now Alice) who was saved from a pound. The good life starts here for these smashing hounds!

Every older gentleman should have his favourite armchair and Ranger, now Rafa ( Alia Rasher) has found his. An added perk of his new home is a young lady greyhound called Betty to keep him company. We wish him well in his future, safe in the knowledge that he will never again be a cold, lost stray.

Perry, the whippet, has made an Erin Hounds’ hat – trick by joining Joey, one of the first hounds we homed and Violet, an Erin lurcher, in their happy home. Wandering stray with a blue rope around his neck will soon be a distant memory for this dinky little lad.

For Purdy (was Misty – Carnageehy Lass) life begins at 8. This greyhound could be described as “lucky” because she survived to that age, albeit it ending up on death row in a pound but she is without doubt, very fortunate to now be enjoying love, security and caravan holidays with woodland walks.
