Oh Ely

Nov 10, 2023 | News

I aren’t gonna lie, there are just some dogs that you fall in love with instantly, Ely was certainly one of them.

It was really hard to let him go but it was the right thing to do. He has gone to live with Jess and Millie. He only went on Wednesday and already he has been to the Pickering shop to meet our lovely Emma…

See you in February big soft lad…

Nothing has changed

Nothing has changed..

One has to wonder how on earth does an ex greyhound trainer – who once trained a champion dog that was later found dumped in an emaciated and in a severley neglected condition – manage to secure the position of Director of operations for Battersea Dogs Home?

Picture – Velvet Rebel once trained by Peter Laurie and present CEO of the Retired Greyhound Trust – found abandoned in dreadful condition. Rescued by Tia Greyhound and Lurcher Rescue and now enjoying a safe and loving life

EDIT: Peter Laurie was not the last trainer or breeder to exploit Velvet Rebel – the dog was passed on to Charles Lister OBE and then a breeder. Regardless – Peter Laurie still earned money from this dog and still supports a racing/gambling industry that is responsible for the suffering and deaths of thousands of dogs every year.

Velvet Rebel has since passed away after years in a loving home.

When we get a call from the stray kennels, it’s always a mystery as to how the dogs have ended up there.

This little girl, now called Spiggie, came off one of the usual suspects. Notorious for rehoming/retiring/giving away free to good homes and generally dumping his dogs on anyone who will take them…

They have been exposed so many times for the state of their kennels, they even made the Sunday papers on one occasion – https://www.express.co.uk/…/Dog-kennels-branded-disgusting

So now i have his attention…

Tenasywiskytrish bn 12/10/2017 raced at Belle Vue until June of this year…

So when said trainer emailed me a few weeks ago wanting to swap kennels i was speechless really as to his continuing stupidity. I don’t have the words.

He wanted to swap his hovel in Ormskirk, that isn’t worth as much as this place just so he can be nearer to the track he is now racing at, after the closure of Belle Vue..

And just to be clear, she didn’t have an envelope around her neck when she was found straying in Bradford, with the £400 bond from the Greyhound Retirement Scheme…she didn’t qualify for that either…

Welcome to Tia, Spiggie…”Not a Hovel”

Photographers needed

I am going to be updating the website soon with dogs that are in desperate need of homes, that are still in trainers kennels. These are trainers that I have known for years and they generally aren’t good with technology and they do admit it themselves.

There are thousands of dogs backing up in kennels all over the country.

Is there anyone near Blackburn, Nottingham and Ripley in Derbyshire that can go and get me some decent pictures so we can start getting these dogs rehomed…
Thanks Deb

Ps Now sorted.
