DOVE was earlier found wandering as a stray and eating from rubbish bins in County Clare, Ireland and was in very bad condition.
Luckily, Dove was found by a kind couple, once the couple who found her discovered what her fate would be had they handed her into the local Ennis stray pound, they contacted Clare Greyhound Project (CGP).
As CGP had no available foster carers or available kennel placements at that time, the couple agreed to foster Dove until CGP were able to take her into their care. With the care of the kind couple and later CGP, Doves health and well being steadily improved.
AfG had a foster home for Dove and she was later brought over to Norfolk from Ireland.
Dove quickly settled in to her foster home, with the company of another rescued dog, where she was steadily rehabilitated and socialised.
Dove is a very friendly happy Greyhounds and likes people and children and all other dogs.
Doves 1st adoption failed, through no fault of her own and after returning to one of AfGs foster homes, Dove found her perfect home in December 2016, where she shares her home with the company of a tiny cross breed hound.
Dove is so perfect, everyone adores her.
Dove is another lucky Greyhound who happened to be in the right place at the righ time when she was found.
Dove only competed in 4 races and came 5th on her last race.
Photos below, show Dove when she arrived to AfG from Irelend, settling in to family life and continuing to improve enjoying lots of adventures and freedom.
The photos above show Dove as a stunning hound, one photo was featured on an AfG calendar, photographed by Belinda Buxton.
