On Bank Holiday Monday 5th May, we will be having a stall at Knaresborough Pets Day Dog Show. It’s a lovely day out with many animal charity stalls, refreshments and displays, as well as the fun dog show. Do come along and support us. It will be in the grounds of Knaresborough House, right in the town centre.
One look at him was enough. He calmly returned our gaze. We tore up the plan and his docs went straight to the Sponsor Dogs file. It simply wasn’t worth the risk. Trialled twice in Ireland without increasing anyone’s pulse and rocked up at Tia soon after. Tarzan was barely two years old and like so many, culled early from the game he was bred for. Rusheen Bouler wasn’t even registered with the GBGB.
Still our lad was on the payroll and has earned his corn. It is impossible to count the number of girls he has welcomed over the years. Tarzan was easy to look after and earned his promotion to the big kennel (house). He thoroughly enjoyed getting fussed over by his old flame Lana, but the young strumpet Duchess was more than he could cope with. Over the last few months, he became a bit wobbly but still enjoyed the outings with the others to the beach. Still adored his ham slices at two o’clock, (Sainburys Taste the Difference) and could usually be found following a stray sunbeam around the house.
We are going through the wringer at the moment and there is a big hole in the house tonight. Tia does not just lose a dog, it loses a member of our family. Tia’s sponsors, staff and supporters have known the day was coming for a while. I would personally like to thank the sponsors who have remained loyal, some travelling specifically to see him over the years.
Thanks for the love big lad. So gentle at the end.
I loved you very much.
Earlier this week the very beautiful Gina went into a foster home with Wilbur. He is very happy with his second wife… Thanks to foster parents for making the journey from Kirriemuir.
A friendly, loving girl who will be four in May. She has settled quickly and easily into her foster home and is now ready to find her forever family.
She is very affectionate to everyone she meets, including children. She love cuddles and playing with her soft toys. She currently lives with two other hounds and has got on well with the other breeds she has met.
She travels well, can be left for up to 4 hours, is clean in the house and sleeps through the night. Her foster Dad says “despite losing part of her tail in an accident, she still wags it when she’s happy – which is most of the time”!
Here is the beautiful Fern.
She wanted to play with the resident cat, so is having to come back…naughty puppy dog. She is available for adoption.
Lovely Lily is a happy, playful three year old who has spent the last few months getting acquainted with home life. She is now looking for a forever family to adore her!
Lily is an inquisitive girl who loves playing with her toys. She can sometimes get excited around other dogs, but not always. She is clean in the house and is currently living with two other hounds but we think she would also settle as an only dog.
Lily has met children in the home when her foster parents’ Grandchildren have come to visit and she is always excited to meet people, greeting everyone with her helicopter tail! Her foster Dad says “I have never known a happier dog. She is amazing”!
Lily will also be at the Tia event at Cannon Hall this Sunday, 13th April.
Meet all the dogs that are currently looking for new homes here. If you can give one of them a home – foster or permanent – please get in touch with Deb at 07974 960684.
