Sally is almost 3 yrs old and was found as a stray, most of her hair missing due to mange. She now sports a fine deep black coat, and more importantly, an excellent personality. Sally is one of the most sensible dogs here, well able to play with the gang but also quite willing to remove herself and go curl up in a bed by herself at times. Affectionate but not demanding, good on the leash and in the car, she is a delightful lady to have among the younger dogs and will make an exceptional companion. See www.orchardgreyhoundsanctuary.com

Sofi arrived here more than a year ago, extremely fearful and traumatised. About 2 or 3 years old, Sofi is excellent with all dogs here, though she does pull on the leash. Sofi is still shy or frightened of new people, though there has been great improvement. An affectionate girl who is up for a belly rub when she feels relaxed, Sofi seeks an experienced and quiet home where she can continue to learn that people aren't so bad after all.

Sabhdh (rhymes with five), means 'deer' in Irish, and this leggy lady with her long neck and slim lines only needs some antlers to look like one! Almost 5 yrs old, Sabhdh is eager to please and loves attention. She is playful with the other dogs, but not overly so, and looks you straight in the eye when you are speaking to her. Very cheerful, tail always wagging, great on the leash and in the car, she could be a very good model for a younger dog to follow. She gets along with all the dogs here, and is housetrained and otherwise has good manners. Sabhdh also has a lovely deep black glossy coat and is otherwise healthy and sound.

About 3 yrs old, Mikey arrived here a bundle of nerves, a result of his history. Mikey has settled down quite a bit, though he does still get himself wound up at the sight of a leash or, his very favorite thing in the world: PEOPLE. Mikey adores people, but is over exuberant. As it is now, he calms the moment someone just puts a hand on his side - a sign that he is just starving for affection. He is a lovely friendly boy, black with white speckles on his coat, who gets along with all the other dogs. Good on the leash and in the car, Mikey would make a great companion for any dog, Mikey does not have a bad bone in his body. See www.orchardgreyhoundsanctuary.com

Sweet, 2 year old, black boy. Earth is a dainty lad and smaller than your average male greyhound. He had damaged his front left leg before coming to us, and it has healed in a slightly misaligned fashion. This former injury doesn�t hamper Earth in anyway and he loves going for walks with the rest of his kennel mates. Earth has yet to be cat tested.

Click on the thumbnail for a larger image | Ciara
Ciara is a small-medium 6 year old who is a well-behaved and well socialised lady. Very good on the leash and in the car, Ciara adjusted to life here very easily, and blended immediately with the other dogs. No shrinking violet, however, she can run hard and play hard with the rest of them, though seems to be well able to keep the hooligans in line should they start playing a bit too hard. She does not have a tendency to jump up or be over-exuberant, (though she loves a good roll in the grass) and so might do well in a family with smaller children. Undemanding and yet appreciative of the attention she gets, Ciara is a solid citizen who would do well in almost any home. For more photos of Ciara go to www.orchardgreyhoundsanctuary.com

Only turning 2 yrs old in January 2010, Clareen is a very busy girl! Despite her small size, Miss Curiosity is always on the move looking for something to do, something to play with, someone to play with, a person to follow around, a person to smother with kisses, a dog to run with...whatever. She loves company, and loves, for example, to follow me around as I do garden work....'oh' she says 'what's that you have there? what will you do with that? Can I lick it? Can I have it? Can I sniff it? Oh now what are you doing?' and so on! Just great with other dogs, on the leash and in the car, she would make a great companion for another active dog.

Just two and a half years old, recently-arrived Kelly arrived here in early December 2009 as a stray, with a very poor and raggedy coat, irritated skin, hungry as a horse, and so tired you could knock her over with a feather. She is a very small lady, quiet, biddable, appreciative, and yet well able to share living space with 5 very robust and active greyhounds. Kelly is exceptionally keen about toileting outside and is very quiet on the leash, so much so a child could walk her. This little darling will make a lovely quiet companion.

Ailish is approaching 3 yr old and is a very confident, absolutely fearless little madam. Small in stature but with the heart of a lion, Ailish is extremely bright, very cheerful, and gets along with all the other dogs here because she is certain she is the Queen of the Greyhounds. She was picked up as a stray in extremely poor condition, but is fully recovered and has an unusual black coat with shades of brindling in it. Great on the leash or in the car, very biddable, she is bursting with personality, the little imp! See www.orchardgreyhoundsanctuary.com

Having just turned 1 in April 2009, Gavin is a very happy and biddable boy. He gets along with the other dogs in his group but does try to get away with being a bit bossy. Great on the leash and in the car too, Gavin loves water, and often has his front legs IN the water bucket. Playful, handsome, and quite clever, Gavin just loves people despite having had a rough start. He would make a great companion for a large and energetic dog, and no doubt will run the legs off it!

Meg is a three year old ex racing greyhound. She's a shy quiet gentle girl. We feel Meg hasn't had much socialisation until she came to the sanctuary. However she is learning fast at the sanctuary and we hope in no time Meg will be a happy girl. Meg's coat is in poor condition, she has very little hair in her rear quarters. Meg is not a very big girl and she will in time be a little beauty. Meg gets on very well with her kennel mates. We feel that once Meg gets into a home situation and surrounded by people who love her she will come in leaps and bounds. She really is a special girl who deserves to be loved and happy. Before Meg goes to her new home she will be spayed and a homecheck will be required.

Cool Dude is a 3 yr old male ex racing greyhound. His coat is white and black and he is a beautiful looking dog. Cool Dude came to us from the racing kennels so he is adjusting to life at the sanctuary. We must say that he loves being pampered and adores human company. He can be a bit giddy, but he is learning lots and experiencing so many new exciting things so this is understandable. We feel once he gets used to his new life and knows its here to stay he will relax and become a real Cool Dude. He is energetic and loves his walks and runs of lead. Cool Dude gets on very well with his kennel mates. Before Cool Dude goes to his new home he will be neutered and a homecheck will be required.
