Another Home Run Hounds Success Story!

Some of you may remember reading about our "spook" dog, Tilly, who was scared of her own shadow in kennels. She went into foster care with the wonderful Steve and Sarah, who took the time and patience to show her that the big wide world really isn't so scary after all.

After careful introductions, we are thrilled beyond words to announce that Tilly has officially been adopted!

Her forever family includes Donna, Simon, and their three incredible greyhound girls, who have completely taken Tilly under their paws.

How She’s Settling In 

Donna reports that after a bit of initial nervousness, Tilly settled right in with the pack. She’s eating well, playing with toys, and has already claimed her rightful spot on the sofa! 

• Luna and Tilly have already become fast friends.

• Shadow has been gently coaxing her out of her shell to be braver.

• Indi, the head of the pack, greets her every morning with the sweetest nose rub.

• She even jumped up onto the sofa and rested her head on Simon’s lap—safe to say he was absolutely chuffed!

We even have 3:40 AM zoomies!

The rest of the pack is treating her like the baby she is, showing no possessiveness at all—just pure love, patience, and acceptance. 

Seeing Tilly now is a true testament to incredible teamwork:

• Our dedicated kennel volunteers who worked with Tilly when she was completely shut down.

• Our homefinders who had the challenge of finding the exact right fit for her complex needs.

• Her foster carers, Steve and Sarah, who were her “bridge” to step into the real world.

• Donna and Simon, who opened their hearts and home to give her a permanent , safe, loving place where she can blossom.

It is a true privilege to work alongside every single person who gives their time, energy, and love to help these hounds. "Thank you" barely scratches the surface of our gratitude to everyone who helped Tilly on her journey.

Donna and Simon are overjoyed that she is now officially part of their pack, and they have decided to give her a brand-new name for her fresh start: Meet Lola! 

Enjoy the rest of your retirement, sweet Lola! You are truly loved by many.
