    Dunrunnin: A supportive, welcoming and knowledgeable kennel

    When we decided to welcome a furry ball into our lives and felt that greyhounds might fit the bill, we looked at various kennels in the vicinity of London. Dunrunnin stood apart by its friendly, approachable website which featured its team of volunteers, something which really spoke to us and encouraged us to come and have a look..

    My other-half thought it would be great to just go for a visit, asks questions (we both work full-time and live in a flat with no garden) but nothing more (I was slightly doubtful on that point). We arrived and were impressed by the informal friendly setting, felt our questions were answered knowledgeably and were straight away supported by the positive, inclusive attitude of the volunteers, in spite of our home circumstances, we didn't feel any rejection. We were shown the different dogs in the kennels and... we fell in love. We were straight away given the opportunity to go for a wander with our Gwinnie (Tippi at the time!). As soon as the walk was over, my other-half asked to reserve her, his 'questions only' approach did not work out.

    The home visit process was informal and friendly but also extremely practical where the volunteers home-checker gave sensible and helpful advice and answered my 10,000 questions. They also recommended an excellent Facebook group which offer an excellent network of support to anyone adopting from the kennel.

    Throughout the process and after, Karen, the branch manager, offered simple, no-nonsense guidance and inspired straight away a lot of trust. Even now we discovered that, in doubt, speak to Karen :) .

    It is no surprise that this Kennel has such a strong level of volunteer support, they were everywhere, involved, knowledgeable, appreciated and all absolutely passionate about the wellbeing of every animal in the kennel. It is really what struck us the most.

    Thank you to the Dunrunnin team for making a dream come true and making our family whole.

    The team of staff who run the kennels are dedicated, knowledgeable and caring. The dogs are well looked after and happy. We had a really positive experience and would recommend them to others. They were helpful and knew the greyhounds in their care. We were matched with an excellent dog who has made a huge difference to our family. He has the perfect temperament for our children and is ,loving and affectionate. We love greyhounds!
