Hi this is Chrissie. this is a request for help with Transport. Richard and i live down here in bournemouth dorset. we already have 3 rescue greyhounds and are looking to take on our 4th. the problem is this is a dog from a private home that is no longer wanted and the present owners live in Blyth in northumberland. they are unable to travel to meet us with the dog. We surgestted meeting half way at Leicester as we cannot drive all the way up from the South. we are looking for any help from anyone up there who may be willing to drive down with the dog and meet us somewhere to help rehome this girl. we will give her an excellent home with our dog family and she sounds like sh,ed fit in. We can help with petrol.
many thanks.
Chrissie

Hi Chrissie, I'm in Leicestershire so not much help to you with regard to the first part of this route, but I would be willing to help out with part of it. Possibly from Sheffield area down to Leicestershire or Northamptonshire if that's any good.
If you get the rest sorted give me a shout, PM me or email and if I'm able to help I wlll.

So just to clarify
We have the ability to get this girl from Scotch Corner to Sheffield, and Sheffield to say J10 of M40.
That would leave Chrissie or Rich the last leg fom M40 down to their home in Bournemouth, and as that isn't as far as Leicester to Bournemouth that should be OK for them.
The only link missing then is Blyth to Scotch Corner? (think I might know someone who could possibly help, but I need to talk to them first)

Sorry not replied earlier but had my awful weekend shifts at work.
I live in Chesterfield so if the top half could be sorted then I am willing to do the rest even if needs to be done sooner (only on a Thursday or Friday as work nights and these are my nights off so can stop over at sisters).

Marie Dear Marie, Just to let you know we had a call from her owners up North to say that they have found a home for her nearer to home. disapointed for us but good for the dog. We will save another one!!! thanks for your kind offer of help and drive carefully when you come down South. regards Chrissie & Rich. |

Why not contact Liz/Lisa and see about a Gap dog?

Sorry your efforts have been in vain Chrissie, but as you say good news for the dog hopefully.
There are always greyhounds looking for loving homes, and I am sure it won't be very long at all before your numbers are increased.
