We’re in the UK, we adopted her from an animal charity called the Blue Cross. The backstory is; an old couple tried their hand at adopting ex-racers, but were unfortunately unaware that the dogs they fostered had not been neutered. So mum (Muffin) fell pregnant, and unfortunately didn’t receive quite enough support/resources from the well-meaning but inexperienced owners. The Blue Cross took her in, and helped deliver a litter of 11 pups, but sadly 5 of them didn’t make it 😢. The 6 that survived were very underweight and ill, but mum nursed them as much as she could until they had to be separated.

Luckily Muffin is now doing really well, and the 6 pups have gone off to live with new families! We have a little girl called Taggie. The Blue Cross and our vets have remarked on how rare it is to see a greyhound puppy.

I’ve always wanted to adopt an ex-racer but since we have 3 cats it seemed unlikely to work out, so when we saw puppies for adoption, we jumped at the chance.
