Busy stand at Wayland Show

Oh blimey...I think this one could be different...George. George lives with a girl who tells him what to do and when and he always does what she tells him to. Outside of the kennel George cannot wait to be part of what is going on. Photo 1 George says wait for it..Photo 2 George says I think it's going to happen...Photo 3 George couldn't wait any longer before being daft! You have to love the stripes..wired different to the rest! 😁

Another lovely boy to bring you is Heath. Heath is also currently kennelled with a girl and will be 4y old this year. More info to follow as we get to know him better but he definitely has a great pair of ears!

What a lovely boy our Matty is. Currently kennelled with a girl. Matty will be 4y this year. More info as we get to know him better.

Sorry if we've seemed a bit invisible of late but there's lots going on behind the scenes as we rebrand & continue into the future..another step forward we've received our pull up banners, leaflets and business cards to use when fundraising and promoting greyhounds as pets 😄

Beautiful boy Podge who's still waiting for his home enjoyed a stroll through the woods today

Message from Claire & Tracey at our HRH HQ:

Tracey Parbery and I have been absolutely overwhelmed by support everyone has shown to Home Run Hounds CIC and the dedication our wonderful volunteers bring to Home Run Hounds at our 4 sites . We can never thank you enough.

In April 2022, I decided to open a homing centre. After 30+ years being involved in the racing industry and 7 years in the homing industry, I wanted to do it differently - dog led, with welfare at the forefront of the vision.

Tracey and I have been friends for many years, meeting through our former GT volunteering. Over a cup of coffee, I floated my idea passed Tracey and she said 'anything I can do to help, let me know' (very brave !)

Through hard work and dedication in November 2022, Tracey and I both became Directors of Home Run Hounds CIC a Ltd CIC registered at Companies House and able to 'trade' as a not for profit business. GBGB Homing Centre approved by February 2023 and GRS accredited shortly after.

Like many HRH volunteers, Tracey and I work tirelessly behind the scenes, unfortunately we're not always visible and the last 6 months has been especially testing in many different areas as many of you will know and appreciate.

Taking on the challenge in 2024 to grow from 1 branch with 9 kennel spaces to 4 branches with 50 kennel spaces has been no mean feat .. We believe it was likened to “David and Goliath” … Well David succeeded …. and so did we, and we couldn't have done this without the commitment of so many of our volunteers and supporters and the faith you have all had in the CIC.

Alongside this, we endeavoured to become a Registered Charity which has taken many hours of work and a lot of hair pulling …. However, Tracey and I and are overjoyed to now be able to announce that the Charity Commission approved our application last Wednesday, and we are now registered as Home Run Hounds Greyhound Charity. Charity No 1209071

This new Charity Status opens so many new doors for us, in terms of promotion of greyhounds as pets as well as funding opportunities.

It's exciting times ahead for Home Run Hounds Greyhound Charity as an organisation and more so for our gorgeous greyhounds, as we make more Happy Ever After dreams come true.

More details will follow on the Charity but for now …. We want to say thank you to everyone involved and we look forward to welcoming you to our sites at Brandon in Suffolk (HRH Eastern Counties), Shenstone nr Lichfield, Stourbridge and Wombourne, West Midlands

Beautiful Magic due in. A gentle natured girl that you wouldn't know is around so much so she could be handled (supervised) by a child. 😍

Handsome Podge catching up with his mate! Podge is still waiting for a second chance at finding a home

I'm looking but I can't see my home yet says Jessie 💗

Gorgeous Jessie won't be 2y old until September so very much a sweet, fun loving, happy and friendly little lady. Available to meet & walk from kennels at Lound. Few pics of her loving her early "retirement"

Beautiful Podge needs to come into the care of HRH EC. He's been on foster for a fortnight but their existing girl greyhound isn't impressed sharing now she's realised he might be staying & it's impacting both of their behaviour. More info to follow once he's with us.
