We have a Tia fundraising stall and dog walk at Cannon Hall Country Park, near Barnsley S75 4AT on Sun 28th April 2024. Please note, this is not at Cannon Hall Farm but next door. The stall will be open from 10am to 4pm. The Tia walk around Cannon Hall Country Park will start at 11am from the stall (meet around 10.30am). It’s a great chance for both Tia humans and greyhounds to get together and catch up, as well as raising funds for Tia. We shall have tombolas, the ever-popular sausage bobbing, and more merchandise than your greyhound could ever wish for. If anyone wants anything in particular bringing, please let us know. The stall will be close to the Council-run car park, which is opposite the garden centre. There are dog-friendly cafes, gardens and parkland to explore and it’s a great day out. Please do join us.
We will be tin rattling at Otley Garden Centre (formally Stephen Smith’s), Otley LS21 1DY, this coming Sun 14th April from 10am, and will also have a stall at Wigfield Farm Spring Show, Worsborough, Barnsley S70 5NQ, next Weds 17th April 11am to 3pm.
We are rehoming plenty of dogs direct from their trainers. I have just added a load more on the rehoming page.
We have dogs in Nottingham, Derbyshire and now Stockport, Manchester who are looking for a new start. And of course a few here, but we specialise in dogs that no one else wants, so it’s a bit trickier for them.
One of the many things I don’t like about this move, of which we had no choice to safeguard the Charity, is that I don’t get to meet the dogs and get to know them. I do miss that. And of course seeing all the excited owners coming to pick up their precious new dogs.
Two particularly giddy people have just bagged these 2 sisters from a trainer in Nottingham…Thanks guys, I know you will all be very happy…
Mia and Gracie, although you don’t know it yet, you are two very lucky greyhound girls…
When Rupert was fetched to us by the Police in January 2022, it was clear that he had had a very hard life. He had been found tied to rubbish bins in Doncaster town centre. The dog wardens weren’t working and the rspca didn’t want him. They had no one to send out…to be fair if they had seen a photo of him they would have made the effort, not for Rupert, but for the media/cash opportunity he would have provided.
Emaciated just under 20 kg, exhausted, his lip hanging off and an infected mouth, too sore to eat.
Injuries consistent with badger baiting.
He stole my heart and everyone else’s who he ever met. Such a gentle soul. When he was well enough he was neutered and his lip stitched back by our vet at the time, the fabulous Chris from Donaldson’s, in our own vet room…which I miss immensely. He made the trip to Scotland with us and all the other animals. A few people had wanted him but I needed a special home for Rupert, a very special one and thankfully just a month ago his mom & dad travelled from Tobermory to come and get him. It was really hard to let him go but that’s what we do and just look at him now.
If you are ever in Tobermory and you see Rupert with his mom & dad, please send me pictures…
UPDATE….me and Jo have just had a cheeky trip to the Isle of Mull to see Rupert….It was amazing to see him so happy…even if his waistline is expanding….no mom, there are no ribs to be seen there….
Crayford tonight 19.37 and No 2 dog Burrow Fantastic is being dragged along whilst parading & being sick. Lifted from under the stomach & sick again then forced to race for £55 run money.
