nickname  Banín
racing name  Banín [IE 2005] 
color  White and Black Brindle
sex  female
weight  30 kg ~ 66 lbs
date of birth  13 APR 2005
friendly to  children: ?  dogs: yes   cats: ?
comment  This young lady (Banín means "little woman" in Irish) arrived to the sanctuary Jan. 3 from another rescue, who described her as "paralyzed with fear". She arrived retreating to any far corner at the sight of a broom or leash or anything like those in my hands, and panting heavily. However, she has now progressed beautifully and is becoming a very affectionate and clever girl. Banín gets along well with the other dogs and is great in the car. She will continue to develop nicely in the coming weeks - watch this space!

nickname  Tiger
racing name  Gripwell Jack [IE 2005] 
color  Black
sex  male
date of birth   APR 2005
friendly to  children: yes  dogs: yes   cats: ?
comment  Tiger is an unlikely name for this all around friendly, gentle fellow. Clearly well cared for before he was brought here, Tiger is a quietly confident and happy dog, very well behaved and just easy to be around. He would make an excellent first greyhound for some lucky person, couple, or family!

comment  Ciara is a feisty but affectionate smallish greyhound who doesn't let the hooligans here boss her around. She is excellent on the leash and in the car, great with other dogs and people, and loves to have the occassional mad dash around the place. Ciara also has recently discovered toys and rolling in the grass! A sensible and well-behaved little lady!

comment  Arrian is a very large boy, quiet and well behaved, but shy around new people. Great running out loose with other dogs, and very good on the leash and in the car, Arrian will need an experienced owner to help him continue to get over his shyness.

racing name  Seans My Boy [IE/IE 2004] 
color  Black and White
sex  male
weight  34.5 kg ~ 76 lbs
date of birth  5 JUL 2004
friendly to  children: yes  dogs: yes   cats: ?
comment  Jack is a great all-around guy! Large-medium in size, he gets along with all the dogs here, is quiet and well behaved, and has recently discovered toys, including a large pink dolly which he - sadly - loves to carry around! An affectionate but undemanding dog, Jack is just one of those greyhounds who is just so easy to have here. He will make an excellent pet for the right family.
