Madeline (Salacres Mags)

d.o.b. 1/5/2021

Alright alright. Everybody back. Show a bit of decorum!

Isn’t she gorgeous? Let’s just gaze on her loveliness while we can. Madeline won 4 of her forty races. When you are this beautiful, you don’t need to try.

Thirty kgs, came in last back in July and will probably be gone in 60 secs.

“Introducing Madeline (formerly Salacres Mags). Madeline was born May 1st 2021 and won 4 of her 40 races. She has lost the last part of her tail in an accident but it still wags when she’s happy which is most of the time. Currently on foster with 2 other hounds and has settled in very easily.  Madeline is a very affectionate girl and loves cuddles. She walks very easily and politely on the lead, she is a well-built strong girl and is happy for you to guide her where she needs to be. Madeline can climb the stairs easily and sleeps happily on the landing. She is clean in the house and will sleep through for normally 7-8 hours. Loves playing with soft toys but doesn’t destroy them.

She gets on well with other breeds she has met and generally ignores them, having recently retired she still has a high prey drive and will show interest in cats, squirrels etc. Madeline has engaged with children and loves a cuddle, she is a powerful girl so care needs to be taken around them. She has been regularly left for 4 hours at a time with no destruction. Madeline travels well and jumps straight into the vehicle without hesitation. She is food orientated but this is easing, she has not stolen food or attempted to get to the kitchen counters. Currently on foster in North Notts and meetings can be arranged by calling Deb on 07974 960684.”

Pal (Ripley)

“Springview Pal“

d.o.b. 7/2/21

 

Beautiful, beautiful, dog.  Pal won 9 out of his 90 races but signalled that he didn’t want to do it anymore. Pal last raced two months ago, finishing last in a rough competition. It really was the final straw for him. He is about 30 kgs so not too big.

 

 

Still at Ripley Derbyshire with his trainer.

 

 

Please ring Deb.

 

 

 

Adoption donation

Jun 29, 2020 | Dogs for Rehoming

Adopting a greyhound or lurcher from Tia is the beginning of a long friendship with one of the kindest, gentlest, and quietest dog breeds you will ever find. (They are smart too: which one of you has to go to work to feed the dog….?) Greyhounds and lurchers make wonderful companions as anyone who has adopted one before will be only too keen to tell you… whether you want to know or not!

Adopting one of our dogs is a journey for both you and the dog, but you may not realise that your adoption donation will help all the other dogs here at Tia too.

Before you adopt your new companion, we will have cared for him or her, possibly for many months or even years. The dog will have had a check-up with a vet, they will have been neutered, ‘micro-chipped’, possibly had dental work and will definitely have had lots of feeds! This, of course, all costs money and your adoption donation goes some way to helping us meet these essential expenses which really are never-ending.

Sadly, for various reasons, not all our dogs can be rehomed: perhaps they have health or mobility issues or, occasionally, they are just too nervous to make adoption practical. This means that we will have to find the means to look after our ‘for-ever’ resident dogs for the rest of their lives. Of course, we just love to do that, and we try to make their lives interesting and varied as well as safe, but to do this means that we have to keep funds coming in.

So, when you make your adoption donation, you are not just giving a new home to your new family member, you are helping lots of other Tia dogs as well. Your donation will help pay for staff, vets, accommodation, food and even treats.

It is up to you to decide how much to donate, but we ask for a donation of at least £350 which will help to cover some of the costs of caring for your new dog before she or he decided to let you adopt them. As an animal rescue charity, Tia will be able to claim Gift Aid on your donation (if you are an eligible UK taxpayer) and this makes your donation go even further.

So, thank you from all the dogs and their staff here at Tia for making a home for one of our four-legged friends and for helping to look after all the other dogs both now and for the future. Every penny helps and we all deeply appreciate your kind donation.
