In 1995 I returned to England
after nine years in South Africa and, as I was intending to
stay here for several years, decided to home a dog. I
definitely wanted a larger dog that didn't have an appetite to
go with its size! After a great deal of thought I decided a
Greyhound would be a suitable pet for myself and my son James
and set about finding one. I soon discovered my local
greyhound breed rescue organisation and phoned the organiser
to make enquiries. She explained to me that there are more
greyhounds and lurchers in need of re-homing than any other
breed of dog and would be delighted to find me one. A couple
of days later she came and looked over my house (and me) and
once satisfied put me in touch with another branch that had
recently saved a tan and white bitch who was about to be
destroyed!
She explained that Jasmine had been found
tied up with another on the motorway and had been taken to the
local pound but had not been claimed. After three weeks she
was about to be put down when the breed rescue organisation
offered to try and re-home her.
At the first sight of
her beautiful face I knew Jasmine was definitely coming home
with us. She has been the perfect companion and is loved by
the many people that know her. Although I had heard that
greyhounds make ideal pets I did not know how very special
they are until I had Jasmine. They really are in a class of
their own!
