HAPPY NEW YEAR 2026 
A very Happy New Year to all our friends, supporters, and adopters. A hearty thank you goes to everyone who helps us in so many different ways.
2025 REVIEW 18 were found private homes by ourselves., either with seasoned or new-to-the-breed adopters 15 went to supportive rehoming centres around the country, who have helped us over the years to find wonderful retirement homes 1 is currently on a home trial 2 are currently in a foster home, with potential homes in the pipeline We had a successful summer with our fundraising/information stand at a number of events and fun dog shows. For the first time, we had a stall at Grasmere Lakeland Sports & Show, which was very productive. If you know of any events that may be suitable for us, please get in touch. As well as being homed as pampered pets, a number of our retired hounds are enjoying life taking part in canicross and agility competitions. They are a very versatile breed. In 2025, we welcomed some new trustees. One of our long term trustees, Jenny Thomas, retired but she has still been available to help out if needed. We would like to say a big thank you to Jenny for all her hard work. We have some exciting things happening in 2026 so keep an eye on our social media for updates! Please keep sharing our posts and promoting our hounds to help us find new converts to our lovely breed.Events for your diary in Devon/Cornwall 2025

2023 REVIEW
- January 2, 2024
- 36 trailhounds have been found amazing homes all over the U.K. by our team (this includes 8 puppies)
- 8 hounds were sent to trusted rehoming centres. Homing via these centres helps us greatly to find new converts to the breed
- 1 hound is currently with us in foster, (he has his bags packed ready to go to his new home next week!)
- Our small LTW team of trustees is indebted to our supporters and volunteers who all help to promote and support our work. If you would like to know more about the work we do, and possibly get more involved, drop us an email.
