We're planning to move from a house to a flat, and if I've a pound for everyone who's asked "what are you doing with the dogs?" and "greyhounds in a flat!"

I suppose its positive that I've been able to explain to so many people that hounds don't need a lot of excercise, are very quiet in the h...

It is a few years old. The story of a greyhound called Angel. The case is from Limerick in Eire where animal protection and attitudes to animals have only begun to improve in recent years believe it...

Coats

I saw another rescue centre had pockets sewn on the sides of the "I need a home" coats that they used to encourage people to put donations in.
I was wondering if this would be an idea Gal could use. People obviously don't carry the collecting cans to all the events but if a couple of homeless hounds wer...

Some of you may remember hearing of Sassy (from Gail who adopted her a few weeks back)) But due to Gail's personal circumstances and how these seemed to be affecting 'sensitive Sassy', Gail made the sad decision that it was best for Sassy to come back to GAL.

Why you need a big house for a greyhound...
(Preview)
This thread is inspired by the much-discussed comments by Germaine Greer. You know, how you cannot keep a greyhound in a small flat or even a suburban semi. She is so right. I have a normal three-bed semi with a bigger-than-average garden but even so the poor hounds have to queue up for the dogbed:
