A few weeks ago Emma contacted us as her beautiful G.R.A.C.E boy Mason was limping and had been to the vets and given pain relief. Unfortunately, after some hope that amputation may be possible, our vet looked at Mason’s x-rays but immediately saw an aggressive osteosarcoma. As you may know this extremely quick and aggressive cancer rarely has a positive outcome, so unfortunately Emma and the rest of the family had to make the devastating decision to let Mason go.
Sadly Linda and Philip had to say goodbye by Winnie recently. Winnie has lived with Phil, Linda and Taylor for three years and has enjoyed lots of holidays in the motorhome. Winnie became unwell and was in considerable pain and was finding it difficult to walk around and be comfortable. The vet came out and felt the best for Winnie was to let him go peacefully at home surrounded by his loving family. Winnie is now at peace with Phil and Linda’s other hounds. Rest easy big lad.

He was adopted by Denise and Mark, who decided to call him Wilson instead. Sending love from all of us. Safe journey Wilson you will be forever in our hearts
We are devastated that Hope has crossed over the rainbow bridge. Hope bravely battled a cancerous tumour for 18 months (Hope was not in pain during this time and was constantly monitored by her vet).

Although not a greyhound, Bryn was very much a GRACE boy. He welcomed hundreds of hounds into his home and heart. He taught the hounds under Tracy and Gary's care, how to be a dog; not to be afraid and he told them off when they needed to be! Bryn was a one in a one in a million boy. He was loved by everyone at GRACE. He will always be remembered and will remain in all of our hearts forever.

Although Curtis left a huge greyhound-shaped hole in his family's hearts when he passed away, they have recently adopted another GRACE boy, Moose, who is loved and totally adored too.
