We get asked a lot, "Are they house trained?" & the answer is usually "no".
Most of our greyhounds have spent their lives in kennels, so learning to live in a home is new! House training takes time, patience & routine.

🥺 Marshall was relinquished with a hock injury that had occured 4 months ago. Despite being told that he was completely healed, it soon became clear that this wasn't true.
Marshall's treatment is estimated £1500
