Today's run was an emotional one. I ran around a hill and got up to the trig point where we often took our beloved Tilley. We would have celebrated her 12th gotcha day today. We often walked here with her as we could meet up with her favorite person, lass' mum. Run pain free Tilley over the rainbow bridge, miss you.

Wonder the former racing greyhound is searching for a special home

Handsome three-year-old Wonder was handed over to Dogs Trust after his career as a racing greyhound ended when he began to lose sight. Now, having almost totally lost his sight, Wonder is learning to navigate the world and hopes to find a patient and loving forever home, that will give him the fresh start he deserves.

Since arriving at Dogs Trust’s Cardiff shelter, Wonder has shown just how much potential he has. He loves his treats, which will help him settle into a new home and stick with his ongoing training. Wonder can understandably be nervous when passing other dogs, so is looking for a home where his new owners are keen to learn with him and give him the guidance he needs. The Dogs Trust team is confident he can share his home with children of secondary school age, but he will need to be the only pet in the house.

Hannah Organ, Assistant Manager of Dogs Trust Cardiff, said: “Wonder is a very special greyhound who hopes to find a family who can give him the love, care and attention he needs. He won’t let losing his sight hold him back, and we are looking forward to seeing him cuddled up in his forever home.

“Many people think that greyhounds need a lot of exercise, but many in our care prefer short bursts of activity, followed by a long snooze. Like all breeds, they need daily walks, plenty of time and opportunity to explore, burn energy, and play.”

Earlier this month, the Welsh Government announced its intention to ban greyhound racing as soon as possible. This decision has been warmly welcomed by Dogs Trust and others in the welfare sector who have campaigned for greyhound racing to come to an end to prevent more dogs from being killed or seriously injured. Since 2018, more than 2,700 greyhounds have died or were put to sleep following their participation in greyhound racing around the UK.

Four weeks of #dogstrust #dogschool comes to an end, with graduation for Breezy. I will miss our Thursday trips to training class.

Wise words from #dogstrust #dogschool:

“Remember, anything on the floor is legally your dog’s!”

Four weeks since the dog moved in, and I’m happy to report we’re out of the “what the heck have we done?” stage.

Getting to know each other, and starting training with #dogstrust #dogschool has helped. She’s a good girl (of course) and it’s going to be all fine 🥰

This fine lady is 10 years old today, here she is sporting her helping out on the farm look. #DogsOfMasodon #RescueDogs #DogsTrust #Dogs #Pets

Had a tour of #DogsTrust Shoreham today.

@CorinaFitz Merry Christmas Nico, and to all at #DogsTrust - you amazing people found me my forever home, and I keep my paws crossed that Nico finds his soon ❤️ 🐶 🎄

In aid of @dogstrust, I’ll put what I can into this #JustGiving for every night off Nux gets from the fireworks. Up too 5th Jan. That’s a max of £54 I can put in.

So far it’s every day or two since around 1st Oct. That’s a long time for a not-so-brave dog.

Anyone else want to join in on this bet?

Good morning #mastodon

For my #ThrowbackThursday here is one of the original pictures of me from when the good people of #DogsTrust were helping me find my forever home.

It worked because my Mum and Dad instantly fell in love with me (and I with them), and I was living with them within a couple of weeks.

Hello #fediverse here's my #introduction : My name is Koko. I'm a 2 year old #BorderCollie cross #AustralianKelpie

I was a pandemic pup, so I didn't get the socialisation I needed. This means that I can be #reactive towards cars and other dogs.

Luckily for me, the #DogsTrust helped me find the best Mum and Dad who are doing everything possible to help me become calmer and more optimistic. They already tell me I'm the goodest boy 🐶

The #DogsTrust in the UK have opened #dog food banks in some of their centres (including my local #Merseyside centre) to help owners struggling to afford pet food at the moment:
