Another Home Run Hounds Success Story!

He retired this summer and after the passing of his wife, he found himself feeling lonely so decided to have a new dog. We thank Stuart for saying “yes” when we asked if we could share his story as part of our 12 hounds of Christmas campaign about the difference having a dog makes to our lives. His story touched our hearts knowing that Falcon has made such a difference in such a short time. Unfortunately, finding another dog was not an easy process as Stuart was turned away from rehoming centres due to his retired age. He began to wonder if he would ever have a companion to share his life with.

A chance meeting with 2 of our volunteers and their greyhounds, Rosie and Dexter sent Stuart home to have a look on our website filled with hope. 

He enjoyed reading about all our hounds looking for homes but was drawn to black beauty, Falcon. Stuart and his friend George came to kennels to meet him.

Falcon had been waiting in kennels for a while as our black boys often do. He knew that Stuart was the real deal and was leaning on him within minutes.

Falcon leapt into Stuart’s car and went home to start his foster to adopt period.

Within a couple of days, Falcon had settled and was enjoying his retirement and Stuart knew he’d found his new soul mate. The inseparable duo are out and about, visiting family and friends, going to the pet shop and visits to the pub!

Falcon is the reason that Stuart needed to get out and about to start socialising again and he is the perfect owner for Falcon, they are a match made in heaven.
