Fancy treating one of our lovely dogs or horses to a gift? Perhaps a bag of carrots for the horses, or some sausage rolls for the dogs?
You can do this here.
All Tia Gifts are virtual donations, and as such are valid for gift aid; registration along with full T&C will be available at checkout.
Thank you!
I have been talking to quite a lot of people recently who really want another dog but can’t afford the vets fees.
With the absolute horror of the amount of dogs backing up in trainers kennels I have come up with an idea.
We have 30 dogs on our site that are currently with trainers, we are rehoming them steadily away, but wouldn’t it be really, really good if we could get some of these dogs into foster homes. We do have a few people who foster, thank you. But we need more. All you need to do is provide the food, the love and we’ll sort the vets bills out.
A trainer rang me today from Essex, they have 34 dogs needing homes. It is getting very serious out there.
Please have a think and help me get some of these dogs out for their first Xmas turkey…Deb
It’s day three of Tia’s advent calendar, and today we’re talking… stamps!
With the festive season now underway, many of you will of course be receiving plenty of cards from friends and family. Please don’t throw away the envelopes – Tia Rescue can raise funds from used stamps!
All you need to do is cut them from the envelope, making sure you leave a good border so the stamp isn’t damaged. These can then be posted to our Pickering Charity shop at;

If you are local to us in Nairn, you can also drop them off at the farm.

It’s time to talk about donations.
Many of you understand that when you donate (or buy goods) via our website, Tia is charged a small transaction fee for the privilege of using PayPal, which currently sits at 1.4% + 20p, per transaction. Although this is a lower rate than what a regular “for-profit” business would be charged, the financial hit is still significant.
Put into perspective; from the beginning of this year until the end of October, Tia received just over £36,000 in donations and payments via our website, for which we were charged just over £700 in fees. That amount of money could have paid for 35 bags of dog food, which we use one of every day.
Let’s face it; PayPal doesn’t need the money. But we do.
So, if you are thinking of making a donation – one-off or recurring – we would urge you to do so via BACS/ standing order.
We have always offered donors the chance to set up monthly standing orders to support us, and we now offer an even easier way to set this up via our website. If you want to make a regular donation (either one-off or recurring), you can do so here. Enter your details, and upon completion of checkout, you will be provided with our bank details to set up payment yourself.
We also offer a similar option for sponsorships, and our monthly lottery; at checkout select “direct bank transfer”, and again you will be provided with the relevant details upon completion.
We know it’s less convenient than a quick online payment, but you’ve seen the potential difference the extra money can make to us.
Thank you.
