Please welcome Bolt 
And his best friend, Ziggy
Ziggy and Bolt are both retired greyhounds who arrived recently at Cardiff Dogs Home. Since they retired, they have been staying in a rather overcrowded rescue where they weren't receiving the best of care, but both boys have settled into Cardiff Dogs Home very happily! Nice clean kennels, lots of good food, and plenty of volunteer walkers to keep the boys busy!
Ziggy stepping out with young Pilgrim Izzy!
And back in the vet room, after years of chasing an electronic hare around a race-track, Ziggy finally got to see what all the fuss was about
Ziggy is really looking forward to his retirement, a quick zoomies once a day, leisurely walks, and lots of love. That's not a lot to ask eh Ziggy?
Bolt was glad for a bit of fresh air when we brought him outside for a toilet break and to explore his new surroundings
Bolt was a little underweight when he arrived, and he was pretty hungry! When we brought him into the vet room he spied an unfinished bowl of food on the table...
Yeah, course you can Bolt!
Despite being quite hungry Bolt takes even the most delicious morsels very tenderly! No fingers were hurt when we took these photo's!
Toys are clearly a novelty to our pointy boys, and Bolt very keen to find out more about the leftover Christmas Turkey
Retired greyhounds can make the most fabulous family pets, and if you'd like to meet our pointy boys please phone the Dogs' Home: 029 2071 1243 or visit Cardiff Dogs' Home, Westpoint Industrial Estate, Penarth Road, open 7 days a week, 10.30 - 4pm.
Ziggy has now found his forever home, but Bolt is still waiting to meet his perfect forever family!

not to mention he's pretty partial to a little cwtch every now and then. I spent a few hours with Bolt at the meet and greet last month and he was an absolute star! The pinnacle of good behaviour, Bolt was nothing less than a gentleman to everyone he met, other dogs included. He proved on our walk earlier this week that that day was no exception, and was such a lovely walking companion. He's got a tail like a whip and loves to wag it, so watch out for your shins, but honestly that's a pretty small price to pay if it means getting to spend some time with this handsome chap. Bolt is wonderful responsive and loves to walk at your side or just ahead, and if he gets a little too out of pace with you all you have to do is talk to him and he settles back in at your side. He loves his treats and is very gentle when taking them, but beware any open pockets because a pointy nose is perfect for sneaking out any nibbles you've forgotten about! Thankfully he's putting on a nice amount of weight now as well! We weren't out for very long as he's had a bit of a poorly foot, but fingers crossed everything's all on the mend now!
