I had Sandy and Sherry out for their walk yesterday evening when a horrible black Lab called Pepsi came charging out of her garden and got Sherry by the throat. Poor little thing was terrifed, she backed out of her No-Pull harness (which I thought was impossible, but apparently not!) and...

Just thought I'd post this here, not often GAL get a pure Whippet to rehome and figured you guys would want to 'ooh and 'aah', this is Sherry, one of 8 new arrivals to GAL this week, she's 2 years old, loves dogs, might be catsafe, suitable only for older kids and is a cheeky enthusiastic wee minx (oh and she...

I was just wondering, how did you all come to have GAL dogs/greyhounds? In my case, I used to see a tiny wee woman with a huge greyhound walking round about Lochgilphead. One day I was on a bike instead of in a car, so I stopped to admire him. Sam is the lovliest, softest, sweetest dog, and I w...

sorry to start a new thread but i am changing my pet insurance to M&S as pet plan are so expensive and have a huge excess. I remember reading somewhere on here (im sure) that if you put your dog through as a lurcher rather than a greyhound, it will reduce the cost as its not a pedigree

I know I'm probably flogging a dead horse here, but people's prejudices never cease to amaze me... Tonight on my walk I encountered a woman with a small lab-cross mongrel, who looked me up and down and said "now what kind of dogs are those? They're big lads." I told her my dogs were both Greyhounds, at whi...

So far we are having a rather warm summer I'm delighted to say, but on the days that I'm at work I take the dogs with me and they sleep in the car until lunchtime when they have a lovely long walk in Balloch Country Park. So - keeping them comfortable is top priority or I couldn't bring them with me, whi...

Across the back from house, there is a staffordshire bull terrier that is repeatedly locked outside for long periods of time. The owners close the curtains across the patio door so they can't see the dog standing on the step looking in. So to get attention he barks - it's a very pitiful, di...

Well, Landess and I had our long-awaited car boot sale today. All I can say is, we must really love greyhounds to be hauling ourselves out of our beds at 5am on a Sunday morning! But it was worth the early rise. We raised..... wait for it..... £335!!! Woo-hoo!!

We priced the goods to s...

Hi All, Graham and I promised that for Mum’s birthday that we would have a day out in Fife. The plan was to meet up for a pub lunch and go for a walk. Tara as always will be with us and we though that it would be easy to get a pub that did lunches that also allowed dogs. We regularly go to several in Edinburgh....

Hi all There was a good article about GAL written by Neil McIntosh in the Daily Record pet page today. The article was about a young grey called Larry whose trainer decided that because he had damaged his leg so badly, he had to be pts.

Hi Folks, I try not to do this too often but needs must.
