GREYHOUND rescue story. Injured racing greyhound finds loving forever home 🥰

[@peri779]

Fairy is absolutely stunning and you sound like the best mom a hound could ask for! ❤

[@michaelbelcher3622]

I commend you on how well you treat this beautiful girl.

[@Nova2032-]

I just love every word that you say, about caring for Animals. You are a huge asset to this world.

[@marlaclarambeau327]

Thank for sharing Fairy's story. Racing is cruel. The dogs live in cages, are often starved, and they do get injured. They are often considered disposable commodities, and are not respected as the sensitive and kind dogs that they are. I've had 7, and each one was so special. Most people don't know the back story of geyhounds, so again, thank you for sharing Fairy's story.

[@cmhanson]

Yes, I agree with you. I rescued 2 greys from the track. Not many people are aware of the horrific lives greys live while racing. Animal abuse laws do not apply to greys because, as you say, they are considered "commodities" & not dogs. Most racing is government subsidized, so vote against government funding of the racing industry when you have the chance. Thank you for rescuing your 7.

[@cokesquirrel]

Man that is so sad about what happens to the dogs. For some reason I thought they would be treated really really well

[@MultiChillidog]

I agree completely with your feelings about animals, it is not possible to spoil them enough. We do the same with our 2 dogs. In fact my wife just purchased a twin size bed so our male could sleep in our room, since he is now mature enough to not need to sleep in his crate. He does love his crate, and goes into his crate first, as he has not yet got into the routine of sleeping on his bed

[@valeriareed7234]

My siblings and I were raised by parents who taught us to respect and care for all animals. My mother always preferred large breeds so as I was growing up, we had German Shepherds and Collies……all of our dogs were treated as family members and were spoiled….I am neither a fan of greyhound racing, horse racing or animals kept in captivity for human entertainment. Fairy should be treated well because she deserves it. All animals should be treated well.🐾💫⚡️✨

[@onlyjesussaves840]

Ty for the wonderful Fairy story. Never met more deserving pet parents as you folks are. Very responsible, loving, pet people. You're all a joy to watch. :) Love, & Blessings, to you all. :)

[@marywrigjt7614]

Dittos to this.!!❤️

[@wendyannfigg9722]

What a great story. Fairy is absolutely beautiful ❤

[@patriciamaclennan5634]

I wish all pet owners were as considerate and loving with their pets. I agree with you that it's impossible to spoil a pet or child for that matter. It's about training for pets and firm loving guidance for kiddos. You're an inspiration and I enjoy your videos and watching beautiful Fairy thrive.😍💝💟🇦🇺

[@SteveMikre44]

Absolutely brilliant. Thank you for sharing Fairy's story and sharing all these wonderful episodes...❤🐶

[@Fairythegreyhound]

Thank you I’m pleased you enjoy them 😀

[@BruceG2009]

We’re so excited, we adopt our new greyhound tomorrow! We’ve had two before, so we have some idea of what to expect - but they’re all different from each other.

[@michellen1125]

Fairy deserves the best and I’m so happy that you found her, you are such a good dog Mom. ❤❤❤

[@sjacobson005]

You are a wonderful mother to Fairy. Thank you.

[@10putty]

This is a great episode, I'm glad to know Fairy's story.

[@jesswright8279]

Her coat and body look absolutely amazing after she settled with you. She definitely hit gold there!!

[@carleenspada2293]

I so enjoyed your wonderful story about beautiful Fairy evolving into a new way of life. Wouldn’t mind trading lives with her at all. God bless you people & all your outstanding animals.✨🙏🌎🙏❣️❣️❣️💖

[@dhitch5572]

Such a happy story. I will watch this several more times. The footage of Fairy's first beach run is so beautiful. Thanks

[@kathyf1964]

So glad Fairy has such a wonderful furever home!! 💜🐾

[@patlsmith404]

So thankful Fairy found you and your family! Blessed and Be Blessed!🐾🐾❤️💥🥰💫

[@susieblossom1337]

We only muzzled our beautiful girl a couple of times after we got her she hated the things. She lived a long happy life with us and I still miss her every day. We lasted 9 months with out one. We have another different but in some ways the same. They get in to your heart these beautiful doggies. So much power and grace with a bit of nutbar thrown in. Spoil her...... what rubbish She's part of the family. More love the better.

[@cynthiakomarek3041]

Love her story! Well Done!

[@MillerFourFingers]

The first of these I watched was her on the beach. I've watched that one a few times. I love watching her run. She is happy, really happy, and a bit of a show off "look at me run" and zooms by and gone again. That always makes me smile. I also see your comments about how rescue dogs should be treated and how you treat her and that makes me smile. Rescue is the best breed of dog. No matter what kind or color or shape or size, that breed is my favorite. Have a great day with your pup and a long and happy life.

[@CheshireCat6639]

Fairy you lucky Princess finding your perfect loving family home❤..no such thing as spoiling our dogs or any pets... its a blessing to be able to do so..ive always had rescue dogs and now cats too..❤🐾🐾 ( my lurcher had his own sofa bed)😴😴💕

[@cmhanson]

I have seen other videos you posted about Fairy. I was wondering about her history & how you came to rescue her. This is a wonderful greyhound & I fell in love with her immediately. I wish you & Fairy many happy years together. My 2 rescued greys have since crossed the Rainbow Bridge so I get my greyhound "fix" enjoying others' greys. Thank you!

[@clonejones7955]

I never let my GSDs on the furniture.Every night when I went to bed I could hear him stealthily sneaking into the couch.😂 ❤

[@ThomasODonoghue-d9l]

Thanks for sharing Fairy’s background with us. It was a real joy to see her running freely on the beach. Looking forward to the next video.

[@piaogilvie8463]

So sad that dogs too are treated like commodities. Injured and out, next one, doesn't win, out. Fairy is one lucky greyhound, and it's heartwarming to know, that she's now happy and safe❣️

[@tiniselles]

I’m so glad you adopted her. I disapprove dog racing; it’s all about money and not animal welfare.

[@nickcontractor4887]

THANKS for posting Fairys story,its wonderful to see the change in how she looks soooooooooooooooooo much better and the life she is now having and the positive impact on so many people.As i said before if would be nice to get some feedback and make people aware what you can achieve with love and patience with greyhounds in their second lifes.If we can get the message out there to show what can be done,there would be a lot more greyhounds rehomed.people just dont know.THANKS AGAIN for doing what you are doing and showing what can be done.

[@joycerichardson1810]

The perfect dog went to the perfect home. All animals should be cherished by their humans. I love your daughter's tender touch and words with Fairy. I bet you all fell in love with her the moment you met. I read that the Irish lines of greyhounds often have that Mohican crest that Fairy has. Just adds to her beauty.

[@woolydelavs.1054]

You make My sunday More Happy!!!! Thanks for Your Big Heart and We wish You and Fairy and all Your Family a Long and Happy Life!!!! We have an Iggy and are so Found of Long legs Doggies and Fairy is Absolutly Amazing and Such a Beautifull Girl who deserved This Lovely Life!!!! Thanks so Much for sharing with Us!!!!🥰😘🧡

[@MrElliotc02]

She's a real beauty...wish you all the best.

[@bobjenkins9944]

I have only just discovered your videos and think they are wonderful. I have subscribed. Fairy is a beautiful girl and obviously has a wonderful character. She is so lucky to have been homed with you. You do not spoil her, you treat her with respect and love. I have two hounds and they are such beautiful creatures.

[@Fairythegreyhound]

Thank you 🥰

[@judithbourne5130]

Good day. I truly enjoyed this snippet of Fairy’s life so far. When I saw Fairy I had to subscribe because she has these beautifully soulful eyes. She has a great spirit and I was drawn to her at first sight. ❤

[@joycerichardson1810]

She has a magical quality.

[@SweetUniverse]

I'm so happy that Fairy is no longer racing. What an awful thing to do to a dog. 😥😥 Two of my friends here in the U.S. also take retired racing dogs. ❤❤❤

[@heatherstephens9295]

Fairy must think she died & went to heaven the day you entered her life ❤❤❤

[@marywrigjt7614]

Thank you so much.!! 👍👍❤️

[@trishalafleur9517]

So glad she has a greyt home with you! Our current greyhound, Niko won't get up on the furniture. My husband has put up on the bed & our huge chair, but he gets right down. Our first greyhound, Snapshot eventually learned to love getting up on the furniture with us. Of course our Italian greyhounds are always on the furniture with us. They are Family and deserve the very best💗

[@sylviekins]

Thanks

[@Fairythegreyhound]

Thank you so much I’ll buy her more treats 🥰

[@sylviekins]

@@Fairythegreyhoundsounds good! She deserves them. You are doing so well with her considering she is your first dog!❤

[@leeharvey8544]

Thank you - as a prospective ‘rescue mum’ it’s very interesting to hear how long Fairy took to settle in and then show her true personality. And what a great vocation she now has as a therapy dog. And that awesome beach run….. 😍👌💫💛 Found this so uplifting I had to save it for repeat watching. Thanks again 🙏💗

[@Wee162]

Fairy is a very lucky pup!!

[@theresabradley4716]

I so agree with you regarding caring for all animals and that they deserve the best possible life. You are a very good person - the world could do with more people like you!

[@joycerichardson1810]

Yes, yes, yes!!!

[@michaelmaguire8223]

Looking at Fairy’s last race I would have to say she was Lucky to come away possibly with a leg tendon issue rather than having her legs taken from underneath her and Falling ! God Bless all of you Keep the Faith , Fairy is Lucky to have you and you are lucky to have her ! Michael In MELBOURNE. 👍❤️

[@axlegrease-s4h]

Fairy is so lucky to have you (as her fairy godmother!).

[@Iconoplastt]

Must be so hard to see the collision, so happy she's with you and living such a wonderful life - you're a natural with her, she's clearly your baby!

[@sylviekins]

Thank goodness that beautiful Fairy came to you. I adore her bounciness and beauty. I hope that all greyhounds racing ceases, and greyhounds can be loved and adored for the lovely creatures they are❤❤❤PS your wee daughter gives a splendid explanation❤

[@ludovica8221]

you are doing an amazing job as a dog owner!

[@kevinsnow1704]

Thanks for the backstory. Fairy is definitely training you well. Lucky pup

[@AlisonFort]

Great background - thank you!

[@henrysawson2165]

I truly think you are both wonderful. 👍

[@2CalaLilly]

I love her.

[@slabrankle9588]

Thank you for telling us this story!

[@ginacaradonna8063]

Hi Mom! It's no ones business but your own as to how you treat Fairy. I always put my dogs first as well and I couldn't care less what people thought or said, as long as my dogs were happy. I so admire your dedication to Fairy and all of your pets. I've never really understood the reason why Greyhounds have to be muzzled. Would you mind explaining the reason why. Thank you from Canada.

[@jaysmith8199]

You have one a wonderful job with Fairy - well done ❤

[@loveuncensored]

Awww I loved this so much!!! 🥰 I loved hearing Fairy's story and how you found each other!!! You are such a beautiful family! Your daughter is precious giving Fairy her first hug! I thought that was the sweetest and a girl after my own heart! I'm so thankful for people like you who value their pets like family and make them a priority! I also loved that you have pet rats. I had a bunny and 2 pet rats in the past as well! I have had dogs as well. I'm happy you found each other! Thank you for rescuing her! 🥰

[@joycerichardson1810]

Pet rats are very smart and sweet.

[@loveuncensored]

@@joycerichardson1810 Yes they sure are! My 2 ratty boys were so sweet and it was hard when they passed! They were very special to me! Thank you! 🥰

[@kgrant3184]

Thank you, Lucie, for the excellent backstory on Fairy. You're a teacher? Makes sense (me, too, formerly - since I was so busy & then so poor after serious bus accident injuries, I turned to a frmr police dog trainer for walking/ help, back in Hong Kong) . I also gave my rescued dog EVERYTHING I could - he'd already suffered a LOT at human hands - he DESERVED every good thing! (I ALSO was well aware of any bad behaviours of his, and took responsibility to address them - which, sadly, many pet owners don't [as they don't with their children].) "God" descended to Earth = "dog" - THE most loyal, loving, non-judgemental, playful, innocent, accepting/ forgiving, "in the moment", joyful, protective beings, ever. We are BLESSED to have them. CHEERS, from rainy/ snowy Canada! (Hello & love to Fairy, you & family, too!) PS - Wow - good to see your subs growing! Congrats!

[@Fairythegreyhound]

Thank you for your comments, yes I am a teacher. I love taking Fairy to work with me, she is never left on her own

[@kgrant3184]

I initially left my guy on his own - was teaching at a tertiary institution, and he was also getting multiple walks a day - from me, in the morning, then TWO walks from the rescue person I'd got him from, than TWO more walks after I got home from work (was only gone for ~ 5 hours, for uni teaching_). THEN, I came home once, and my guy greeted me happily at the door (after his two walks in only 5 hours of my absence). In his mouth were pieces of a chewed/ destroyed CD & case. THEN, I realized that he'd destroyed MUCH of my OWN "teaching homework" - tapes & CDs of in-service teachers teaching, so that I could assess/ help them with their English Classroom Language aspect of the big tests that were thrust upon them - at the risk of losing their jobs (contrast that with the approach in Thailand - where, IF they did the courses & passed, they got raises & were eligible for more promotions - NOT threatened with losing their jobs. Guess which approach created more angst, dis-harmony & ANGER/ RESENTMENT??) Anyway, what the heck was I to do? I called my uni supervisor, and said that "My dog ate my homework", and we both were laughing so hard we had tears streaming down our faces. After all, what the is biggest BS excuse that teachers face? That's RIGHT - "MY DOG ATE MY HOMEWORK". I discovered first-hand, that this COULD be TRUE. Lesson learned. Luckily, most of the teachers were able to re-shoot their vids. And, as for my guy? Off into doggie daycare he went! 🙂 Sheesh! Our dogs... Cheers!@@Fairythegreyhound

[@vintagelady1]

Lucky, happy Fairy, & lucky happy you! And of course you are "spoiling" her in a good way, not by letting her get away with bad behavior (if she has any!), but by giving her everything that makes her happy! She seems a remarkably amiable dog (unless you are a squirrel, in which case she is a terror!). I don't know about the racing---I'm pretty sure they don't enjoy the lifestyle, but I think if they hated the actual racing they just wouldn't do it. I think it is more fun for them when they can chase something, but that doesn't mean it is good for them, as we see in Fairy's last race, definitely safer to run on the beach without things to collide with! In the States, they cannot race past 5-1/2 years of age, & as most of the tracks have closed down, there is now actually a shortage of racing greyhounds, so my rescue association is importing them from Ireland & Australia. The good news/bad news is that there may soon be no racing greys for adoption, & I have heard that the show dogs are rather different from the racers. I wish I could have another one, but I simply cannot manage a large dog any more & whippets are few & far between. So I'll be happy with my medium-sized companion who definitely has his own charms! And with enjoying Fairy's lovely adventures, for which I thank you very much.

[@Fairythegreyhound]

I’m pleased you enjoy watching Fairy, she is a very good girl with no bad behaviours at all 🥰

[@loftylad2741]

That was really interesting, thanks. She doesnt 'sleep startle' does she? Wonder how long til you get her a pal 😂

[@Fairythegreyhound]

No Fairy doesn’t have sleep startle. I’d love to get her a friend one day. I’d actually love a house full of greyhounds when I can afford a bigger house 🤣

[@joycerichardson1810]

​@@FairythegreyhoundYou'll need more sofas!!! 😅

[@Nova2032-]

RACING NEEDS TO BE OUTLAWED! People! stop attending these races! Thank you for rescuing her , and giving her the loving life that she deserves.

[@michaelmaguire8223]

In Australia there’s probably four meeting s here to being Friday ! But every state in Australia b would have at least 2-4 meetings a day with 8 dogs in each race ! It is Highly Regulated in Australia with so many laws for Greyhound Welfare ! The Kennelling Ares where dogs are waiting for there race to come around has A/C and they have mats to lie on ! They are each vetted before each race and again after the race if required ! The Australian tracks are much much much safer than the ones I see in Britain and have a camber on them for safety during a race ! Look up GAP GRV and you will see how our racing to for ever home works ! Thereare better ways than just saying ban racing ! ❤️❤️❤️🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@michelleraupert8832]

I enjoyed your video very much, I have uploaded a video on Pauline The Boss Greyhound running at Harlow. My greyhound is identical looking to Fairy. Pauline weighs 27.5.

[@Fairythegreyhound]

When I got Fairy she was 24kg and she is now 29-30kg

[@fionaallen8137]

Lovely story - we had therapy greyhounds visit our school as well - they are such gentle creatures! We’ve just adopted an ex racing greyhound, she is beautiful. Just a quick question did Fairy suffer with greyhound freeze when she came home? 😊

[@Fairythegreyhound]

No fairy has never once frozen!

[@fionaallen8137]

Thanks for replying ❤

[@lynwild2035]

As a second time owner of a retired greyhound who had front leg injuries,i are nt able to run my hound like you can as she ends up limping 😅i found sadly so lnly give her a wee rjn couple of times a week. I am interested yo know whst injury Fairy sustained on the tracki also saw videos of my Jazz racing and wotnessed her collisio with another dog but she didnt get to finish. her last race. Hello from NZ😊

[@Fairythegreyhound]

I’m not sure exactly what she did but I know it was a front wrist injury. I expect a sprain or ligament injury but it doesn’t cause her any problems now

[@petecole6260]

My wife and I are thinking of adopting a rescue greyhound, so this video was really helpful. Thank you. Do you have any information about the therapy dog program/ training you used? Thanks. Peter

[@annmayer8251]
