Lakeland Trailhound Welfare (formerly Trailhound Trust) is producing a large banner comprising of photos of retired hounds, to commemorate 20 years of homing hounds. We need YOUR photos to make the banner a great success. We do need to have good quality photos as the banner will be used at forthcoming promotional events.

• Photos must be 1mb or over and the image sharp. They can be landscape, portrait or square.
• Email up to 5 images (one will be selected) to cce.allen@gmail.com by 14th April 2017
• Include pet name and racing name, if you know it. If you do not know it, then try to include ear tattoos. If unable to read them, then say which homing centre your hound came from and the approximate date

Vinnie trailhound came to the rescue of a sick dog who was in desperate need of a blood transfusion. He answered the call of help from his vet Jon Slattery at Best Friends Veterinary Surgery, in Worcester Road, Malvern Link.

Mr Slattery had a very ill patient in dire need of a blood transfusion to save her life and called upon Worcestershire Animal Rescue Shelter to ask for help. He knew Vinnie was in excellent health and fulfilled donor criteria to be able to urgently donate blood to help his fellow dog.

Vinnie got an extra treat and has now been happily rehomed.  FULL STORY

Thank you all for coming to Canterbury today where Dogs Trust kindly allowed us to use their secure field. Luckily we timed it perfectly & the weather was kind to us while we were in the field & the hailstones arrived as we were loading up the car! Thank you too for your generosity for the raffle (especially Susanne & Urbane), it raised £108 for Dogs Trust & Lakeland Trailhound Welfare. Most importantly though it was so lovely to meet up with Pandy, Judy, Abby, Tilly, Rob, Skip, Millie, Lennie, Rufus, Jodie, Jill, Runner, Tally, Skye, Robbie, Bob, Danny, Jack, Rosie & Brad. Our lot, Wallie, Molly, Cassie & Judy, thoroughly enjoyed mugging any unsuspecting human for treats. See you all again soon! Barbara Leopold.

We would like to wish a very Merry Christmas to all our supporters. Please keep an eye on this page and our rehoming page so that we can continue to promote and find lovely retirement homes for this amazing breed. We still have a few calendars left (see posting below). Everyone has said that it is our best calendar ever.

Thank you to all our donators throughout the year, including some very kind donations made this December: Pat Forrest (£150), Ann & Ian Bell (£150), Galemire Vet collection box (£50), Jackie & Alec Steele (£80) and Alan Wills who has donated through the year inc. £100 in December.

The 2017 Trailhound Welfare Calendar is nearly ready for printing and we are starting to taking orders. Order process is similar to last year.

Worcestershire Animal Rescue Shelter will be hosting a trailie runaround at their kennels at 3pm on Sunday 20th November. Bring your trailhound along for an off lead romp for £5 per family. If you would like to adopt a trailie and would like to meet owners and chat about the breed, then feel free to join us. WARS DETAILS
