We are always in need of old man made fibre quilts. The greyhounds like sleeping on them but they do have a tendency to play with them and pull them apart! Tins of dog food are always well received. If you think you may be able to help with the collection of things like these, please contact us on sirmichaeldemontfort@hotmail.com

You will be delighted to learn that the 2010 PRG Calendars raised £550 every penny of which went to help the retired greyhounds. We will be publishing a 2011 calendar which will be even bigger and better and will contain the much desired liver cake recipe!
The Great Big Greyhound fundraising night at the Portsmouth Greyhound Stadium raised just over £800 despite the weather being a bit grim. We will be holding another fundraising night at the track when hopefully the weather will be a little kinder. Watch this space to find out more...............
THe SPONSORED FUN WALK ON 20TH SEPTEMBER RAISED £650
FUN WEEKEND AT QUEEN ELIZABETH COUNTRY PARK
The Family Fun Weekend raised £470 for the Portsmouth Retired Greyhounds! The weather was beautiful and it was great to see so many different breeds of dogs all in one place. Everything from fancy pink poodles to Irish wolf hounds. Best of all of course was the fantastic representation by greyhounds many of which had been adopted from PRG. And even better was that some of the PRG dogs won some of the classes, included 'best retired greyhound'.
SOME OF THE WINNERS
SOMEONE ON HER BEST BEHAVIOUR IN CASE A NEW FAMILY MIGHT BE WATCHING!
IS THIS CONCLUSIVE PROOF THAT OWNERS GROW TO RESEMBLE THEIR PETS?
ONE GREYHOUND JUST ISN'T ENOUGH!
