Thank you to everyone who supported us recently at the ‘Friends of Chaloner Street Market’ in Guisborough.

We were delighted to be invited to this great event and made a total of £249.71. A big thank you to Car Park Kiosk in Guisborough too, where we made £19.91 from our collecting tin.

We always need foster carers to help look after and rehabilitate our hounds.

This involves taking a hound into your home and providing love, affection, walks and fun, rolled in with a bit of socialising and training.

The cost of food, bedding, vet bills etc. are all covered by GRACE. If you can offer a temporary home to a greyhound, you will be rewarded by seeing these beautiful dogs gain in confidence, learn new things and give you love in return for your time.

The rewards are many. A sense of humour is needed, along with common sense and a love of dogs. Apart from that, we will guide you through caring for a hound and will always be at the end of the phone to support you.

Please share and help spread the word, or contact us if you think you can help. Thank you. P.S. A home check will be required for all potential foster carers

Can you offer Orla a forever home? Orla is a 2 year old lurcher (probably whippet x staffi) who had a terrible start to her life.

Orla was confined to a crate in a kitchen and received no socialising at all. She had one walk in a year. Due to this, Orla can become worried around other dogs and can react, especially on the lead.

Orla is looking for a home where someone is around a lot of the time, as she is very clever and can get bored. Orla would love a job, so agility could be possible or flyball.

As Orla is only a pup, she really deserves a chance at a happy life. Orla is currently being cared for by Brysons Animal Shelter, but is struggling in kennels as she is craving love. The wonderful staff and volunteers at Brysons do everything they can, but Orla needs a forever home and a sofa.

If you feel you can offer Orla her forever home, please contact Brysons Animal Shelter or ourselves for further information. Please share if you can’t help. Thank you.

We had some tragic news this week regarding a lovely G.R.A.C.E girl who has been living in her home for a number of years.

Angel was diagnosed with a mass in her liver after a sudden deterioration in her health. Her owner Joy had to take the sad decision to let her go peacefully. Goodnight sweet Angel.
