Fostering
At Tia, fostering is a key part of the rehoming process. Taking these dogs straight from the track and expecting them to settle in a “forever home” is oftentimes impossible; they need time to adapt.
Fostering helps prepare them for home life; it gives the dog time to get used to things they never would have experienced in a kennel, allows their confidence to grow and their personality to shine through, and ultimately helps us find the perfect home for them.
Our expectations for fosters are simple; to look after the dog in your own home and to teach them how to settle into life outside the kennels. You pay for their daily care, but any veterinary treatment is paid for by Tia.
Perhaps this is something you could do? To help you decide, please read a few testimonials from past fosters here.
“… but undeniably the most rewarding thing [about fostering] is when they leave for their forever home. Knowing you helped them along the way and will be settled for life.”
Also, a word to anyone currently fostering with us; if we haven’t been in touch for a while we’re sorry, it’s been a bit hectic with rehoming and new dogs coming in. We haven’t forgotten about you…
Rehoming
You may have seen Eleanor’s recent video diary from her journey to her new home in the Netherlands.
Well, Salacres Mac wanted to experience a ferry as well… here he is, heading off to the Isle of Man with his new mom.
Other dogs are still looking for the right home. We have some new arrivals on the farm…
Amelia
Amelia has been here just over a week and is a gorgeous little girl…
Comfy there, lass?
Kit
Another from the welfare case, Kit needs a loving home to make him shine.
A bit of TLC & some good food for this one.
Rami
It’s not that long ago that Rami (and his Buddy Silas) were fighting for their lives in a canal near Selby.
Silas below has now bagged himself a great home, not too far from us.
We hope that his buddy Rami will not be too far behind him…
If you can foster or rehome him, please call Deb.
These are just a few of the dogs we have looking for homes; you can see all of them here.
And, for those of you south of the Scottish border, Cliffe kennels are inundated with lurchers. Not all the dogs are on the Facebook page, so give them a ring if you are interested in rehoming.
Staff Needed
We have found two new members of staff for the kennels, but we are still looking for two more.
Various shifts and days, 8 – 4PM. Minimum wage applies. Must have your own transport.
Some of the girls enjoying the weather… even the hedge sparrows ventured out for a sunbathe…
And yes, this is the same horse… oh Norman
