Malcolm (Never you mind)
d.o.b. 12.09.16
Last raced in Sept 2018 at Sunderland and then disappeared off the planet. Probably been flapping until his owners finished with him and dumped him in a wood.
Arrived at Tia in March 2022 from the stray kennel, a bit moth-eaten and thin. Malcolm’s teeth were atrocious.
UPDATE; January 2025 Malcolm fell ill, he began to lose weight. He has had lots of tests and it’s been discovered that he has a problem with his blood. He is on medication and he is on borrowed time.
He is seriously enjoying his trips to the beach with the other oldies….keep going big lad…

Russanda Ripley Open Class racer.. A very good dog. Russanda Ripley was born in December 2015, he was born at a trainers, who had and still have a huge racing strength and are probably still breeding greyhound puppies. He was no doubt running about the paddocks next to another litter which included Russanda Capri, Maha, our beautiful sponsor dog. Whilst Maha was absolutely useless and was given away by her trainer, at only 19 months old, to live on an allotment and make up numbers at Askern Greyhound stadium, the independent track that is now closed. She would have been classed as a card filler. A year later she was given to Tia, even that guy know how useless she was. No wonder she was traumatised and still is to be honest. In the meantime Ripley had an outstanding career, an Open Class dog, one of the best. He notched up 73 races, his last one being on the 3rd August 2020. This boy was retired to a rescue centre in Barnsley. They tried there best with him for over two years. He was rehomed 3 times. Each time the owners were told not to have him on the bed, each time the owners ignored the advice, each time he snapped at them when they disturbed his sleep, his dreaming of winning again interrupted by a stray elbow or foot. So he was destined to be destroyed but thankfully they rang here….He does guard his bed, but as long as he is off it he is no bother at all. Ripley is one of those dogs who still wants to be racing. He is lost. Can he be rehomed? Absolutely. To the right person who respects this dog for his achievements and not use him as a teddy bear or comfort blanket.

Midas Caramel 15.8.18
English bred dog and no stranger to Doncaster and Henlow. Cracking red brindle.
When Conrad was rehomed in January 2022, the new owners were made up as they had his brother. I did mention that a girl might be better but they wanted to reunite the brothers.
Less than a year later Conrad was hot footed up the A1 back to Tia. It was either that or I am sure he would have been put to sleep. He was in a lot of pain which would explain his actions. He has had four operations since he came back. A severely, chronic infected toe had to be removed on one foot and on the other foot numerous corns have had to be dealt with. He has had 2 tendectomies which have worked brilliantly.
The poor dog doesn’t know what has happened but he is glad to be back at Tia. Pain free. I did message the owners to let them know how he was doing. I didn’t even get a reply.
Conrad has settled back in perfectly, he is no trouble, happy with his lot.

About me
Part of the Sheffield 13 group and kept in the dark for years. Unregistered greyhounds and probably the children of Baby Belle, Polly Pocket or maybe Moo Mar. No doubt brother and sister; they are inseparable.
These two almost certainly ran at Askern flapping track. Having spent so long in the dark, they rely on each other and have to be re-homed as a pair. The staff have serious problems if they even lose sight of each other.
About eight years old now, if they had arrived here through normal channels they would not have even made the FB page. The world is a very scary place to them, and it looks increasingly certain that they will be under our wing for the rest of their lives.

About me
Bells Echo dob 09/08/2017
Kiona came to Tia at the ripe old age of 17 months. Although she was bred to race, she was absolutely terrified and didn’t even make it through schooling. She has been here for almost five years, and anything out of the ordinary results in her having serious panic attacks, the likes of which we have never seen before. She is absolutely fine in her own safe environment and is happily living with Vasco.
