Kylie and Tom
Thanks to the excellent
relationships which GIN has
established with Josephine's
Rescue group we were asked if
we could arrange for a group of
ex-racing greyhounds to be
transported to new homes
which were waiting in Belgium.
We were able to identify two
dogs with the temperaments we
thought would be suitable, Kylie and Tom. Two beautiful black dogs with white
markings.
With the help of our volunteers newly gained expertise with Pet Passports and
Cross-Channel Ferries we again set the wheels in motion. In November 2009
Kylie and Tom were successfully taken to Calais by Jules and Rob where they
met up with Josephine and her group. We have received some wonderful reports
and photographs of both dogs settling into their new homes in Belgium.
Our thanks to everyone who worked
together to ensure the successful homing
of Kylie and Tom. These include Roy and
his staff at the kennels; Jenny and Jim
for taking them to the vets; Sandra and
Graham for their help with the vets and
the Pet Passports, Jules and Rob for
fostering and then transporting them
safely to Calais. Above all, thank you to
everyone in Belgium for offering homes to
our ex-racers and for the support we
received from Carolyn at GIN Head
Office and from the GIN Trustees.
Hopefully this is just the start of the story and the beginning of a relationship
which will lead to more dogs finding loving homes across the Channel.
