Gowlane Roddy was his racing name. Tubbs was his Tia name.
Jet is his pet name.
One of the cruelty batch off Lee McManus…
Jet, you are one lucky greyhound boy.

Rehoming News (18th July)
Helena
“Beautiful Helena is a sweet and friendly 4 year old, who has waved both her brothers off to pastures new, and is now patiently waiting her turn.
Helena walks calmly and quietly on her lead and is great with other hounds. Whilst she has not actively met other dogs, Helena has shown no reaction to the other breeds she has seen when out and about. Helena loves her adventures and makes us laugh when she gets in the car, as she likes to have a good roll around on her back before we set off! But once she’s on her way, she lays down and travels really well.
Helena is such a lovely girl and we would expect her to slot quickly in to her new family.”
Marley
Since retiring 15 months ago, Marley hasn’t received a single enquiry.
He is the most beautiful boy. Friendly and calm and great with other hounds. He was an absolute favourite of his trainer and a firm favourite of ours. It so sad to see him still waiting, when all this boy needs is a comfy sofa and someone to look past his colour.
Faith
Update on Faith…
This beautiful 18 month old pup has absolutely flourished in her foster home, and is hardly recognisable as the stunning but skinny stray picked up by the dog warden in early May.
Faith is an inquisitive and energetic girl who loves to play. She would love to find an active home with someone who can continue her basic training. Thanks to her foster family, she already knows her basic commands. She has been great with other dogs and is very loving and affectionate… loves nothing more than snuggling up for cuddles on the sofa at the end of the day.
She is now more than ready to move on to her next chapter.
Dougie
Doc (now Dougie) went to his new home a few weeks ago and has settled in to his new life with his Mum, Dad and Lurcher sister who all adore him! Dougie’s family are regulars at our Pickering Charity Shop, so we are looking forward to lots of visits and updates from him in the future.
We still have lots of beautiful dogs waiting to find their happy ever after like Dougie, for details visit our re-homing page here.
Please call Deb on 07974 960684 if you can offer any of these dogs a home. We request a minimum donation of £350 to adopt one of our dogs.
Dogs for Rehoming
Maura
At 2 years old, Maura is only a baby. Understandably she is a little unsure about being out in the big wide world and needs someone who can reassure her that life after racing is good!
Maura walks nicely on her lead but lacks a bit of confidence, so she mostly stays close beside you or occasionally tucks herself behind your legs. Maura can appear standoffish when you first meet her but once you’ve gained her trust, she really is the sweetest girl who’ll be coming out of her shell in no time once she’s settled in a home.
Kit, Marley, Presley, and Tommy
Kit: 3 years old and an absolute cracker. He loves a fuss and likes being out and about. He loves company so would suit someone who is retired or works from home. Read more here.
Marley: just turned 6. He is a firm favourite with us all. He is great with other hounds and could live happily with male or female Greyhounds. Read more here.
Presley: 5 year old Presley is a super friendly chap who loves attention and adores people. He has lived in a home, is house-trained and walks calmly on his lead. Would prefer to be an only dog. Read more here.
Tommy: a beautiful blue boy and a total legend. He could be forgiven for being a diva but he is actually a lovely, straightforward boy. He turns 6 this month. Read more here.
If you think you could rehome any of these dogs, please call Deb on 07974 960684. We request a minimum donation of £350 to adopt a Tia dog.

Maha
Maha
Russanda Capri 1.3.15 – 9.07.25
Damn. Well, we didn’t expect to lose her so soon. Our girl has left us only weeks after her devastating diagnosis of diabetes. Tia fired back via her twice daily injections, but Maha headed for the bridge a few hours ago. Maha wasn’t alone this morning; Woody was with her in the van to say goodbye, and Deb & Bob. We should give animals more credit, they need to understand why someone has gone..
When Maha arrived at Tia rescue in October 2017, she was afraid of life, needing to spend her paddock time on a lead. Catching her was a morning’s work. Her confidence grew a little along with her waistline and Maha grew to love the kennel staff. She also idolised Woody, her kennel mate; she slept on him, hid from the world behind him, chased and played with him. Woody was her rock, her reason for living. In turn, he has filled his life watching out for her. I don’t know how he will cope.
Maha had all she ever needed in Woody, that and a good feed. It has been a pleasure to watch their devotion over the years. Thanks to all her supporters throughout the years.
Mainly though on this occasion, thanks to Woody for making her time with us so precious…
Monthly Sponsorships (and other news)
Monthly Sponsorships
We are please to once again offer the option of monthly sponsorships for both dogs and horses!
The sponsor dogs are Tia dogs who for various reasons cannot be rehomed (or have not yet found a suitable home that meets their needs). Whilst some may one day be lucky enough to find the perfect home, many are effectively “permanent residents”…. and they all need your help!
These six below are just a fraction of the bunch…
Top (L-R) Bungle, Conrad, and Hubble. Bottom (L-R) Ida, Victor, and Uriah
You can sponsor them for just £4.50 per month. Or for £8.50 you can sponsor their kennel, and have your certificate placed on their kennel for a year.
Your sponsorship helps to pay for their food, treats, vet bills, bedding, and any and all care they may need. And of course, if you are a UK taxpayer, you can gift aid your donation and boost your contribution by 25%, at no extra cost to you. That means a regular sponsorship could be worth £5.60 per month – that’s over £67 per year!

Rehoming
Whilst the sponsor dogs might not be going anywhere fast, we are hoping these lot have other ideas!
These are just some of the dogs who are in search of a new home; you can meet the others here.
If you are interested in rehoming, please get in touch at 07974 960684.
Thank you!
