Bauer
Bauer has been here just over a year. One of the Mcmanus dogs left to fester for 2 years in kennels when his career was over. 106 races he totted up! He’s covered all over his body in scars. Apparently he used to kennel dogs together without muzzles, the vet was forever stitching them up I was told.
Bauer is a nervous wreck, catching him in the paddocks has been challenging. He will only come in when he feels safe. He still to this day won’t come off his bed for his night time treat.
A few days ago, something lovely happened.
I haven’t been in the kennels for a couple weeks, not by choice I may add. I went in to let them all out again on the evening. He always goes out with Ida…
She was very pleased to see me, and the next thing I knew Bauer was hovering for a fuss too…he wanted a stroke and a cuddle and very nearly a snog.
You can sponsor Bauer here – for just £4.50 per month, you can help towards paying for his food, any vet care, and anything else he needs whilst he is here.
Rehoming
Henry and Del
At 6 years old, finding a home for these two gorgeous boys is a top priority. They have given enough of their best years to the racing game, and now deserve to be living their best lives.
Henry is a small black boy with the prettiest face. In fact, he’s so petite, we had to sneak back to the car when he wasn’t looking, to fetch the harness normally reserved for the girls!
Del meanwhile, is a big, strapping 34kg blue lad.
Both are easy going, laid back and as gentle as they come. Henry & Del loved being out with our volunteers. They were super friendly and affectionate, walked beautifully on their leads and enjoyed plenty of sniffs! Del is quietly confident & self assured whereas Henry “checks in” with you a little bit more. Both boys looked with interest when they saw a collie but did nothing more, even when the collie dared to bark at them!
Maura
Little Miss Maura landed well & truly on her paws when she went to live with one of our experienced foster families and their two hounds a few months ago.
Maura is a dog who didn’t find kennel life easy, but for whom the outside world was also a scary place. Maura can be timid & unsure around people she doesn’t know but, in foster she has literally blossomed… and gone from scaredy cat to total lovebug who will now gently nudge her way to the front of the queue for affection! And whilst the outside world is still a scary place, Maura loves nothing more than playing with her toys, snoozing with her brothers and snuggling up with her Dad to take “selfies”!
Maura would be happiest in an adult only home in a quiet or rural location, as she is frightened by loud noises and busy places. Maura will be at the Tia walk at Cannon Hall this Sunday if anyone would like to come and say “hello”.
Reeves
As Reeves is still in kennels, he wasn’t expecting an invitation to the Tia walk this Sunday. Unbeknown to him however, he has a fairy Godmother who has waved her magic wand and said… “Reeves, you shall go to the ball”! So now the daft boy is leaping round his kennel like a giddy kipper!
Even when he’s not attending Tia walks, this gorgeous 3 year old is the happiest of boys. He loves ALL people, is great with other hounds & hasn’t shown much interest in the other breeds he’s seen.
He’s hoping to make lots of new friends on Sunday but more importantly, after months & months of waiting, he’s hoping he might even find himself a home?! Reeves is the sort of dog who would slot into most families and he could happily live as an only dog or with other hounds.
Mars
Helloooo…. is there anyone out there??!!! Mars might be named after a planet, but he’s starting to wonder if he’s actually living in outer space?! Since retiring in October 2023, apart from his trainer and occasionally our volunteers, Mars has seen very little proof of human life and he hasn’t received a single enquiry.
Mars is a really beautiful boy. He is a little timid and unsure but given time, Mars will undoubtedly come out of his shell. Having only ever known kennels, the outside world will seem alien to Mars and he would benefit from understanding adopters who can take things at his pace and offer lots of reassurance.
Mars would be happy living with a greyhound girl but may also be happy as an only dog. Since his kennel mate left, he’s been kennelled on his own and is doing well.
If you can offer these, or any of our dogs a home, please get in touch at rehoming@tia-rescue.org. We request a minimum donation of £350 to adopt any Tia Dog.
Please make sure to include your phone number in the email!
Thank you.

Eady, Poppy, and Rodney
Well… what a great end to September… with THREE dogs going off to their new homes on the 30th. Little stray Lurcher, Eady; 11 year old Poppy; and last but not least, one of our overlooked black boys, Rodney!
Be good…!
Dogs looking for homes
Rolo
If you follow our page, the likelihood is you already know that the black boys wait longer to be adopted. However, last week, not ONE but TWO of our black boys were reserved! But whilst the lucky two are busy packing their bags, we still have many others waiting for their chance, including Rolo pictured here.
Reeves
After his career came to a heart stopping and very sudden end back in March, gorgeous Reeves deserves a truly special home. He is quite simply the happiest boy who is determined to live life to the full.
Reeves absolutely loves people and wants to be friends with everyone he meets. He is great with other hounds and has not reacted to any of the other breeds he has seen out & about, including smaller dogs such as Cockapoos. Reeves absolutely loves being out & about and travels well in the car – jumping in by himself & laying down.
He’s a confident, happy go lucky boy so would probably be happy as an only dog or he could also happily live with another male or female Greyhound.
Jane
Poor Jane is wondering where she’s going wrong. She’s heard the girls normally get homed quickly, so she can’t understand why she’s been waiting 6 months?! She might not have an exotic name, like Azure or be an eye-catching colour, like Bramble but our Jane is far from plain.
When you think of Jane… think girl next door… sweet, friendly & unassuming. She has never had a cross word with anyone or anything. And, in a kennel full of drama queens & divas (and that’s just the boys!), there is certainly no shame in being the sensible, straightforward one!
A lovely girl, who walks calmly on her lead and now just needs someone to show her how truly gorgeous & special she is.
If you are able to offer a home to a Tia dog, please visit our rehoming page here, or email rehoming@tia-rescue.org. PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR PHONE NUMBER in the email.
Thank you!

Rodney
After chasing the ladies for the past few years… Rodney’s decided it’s high time he settled down! This gorgeous 3 year old is quite a character and a favourite with our volunteers and kennel staff alike. Rodney is a very affectionate boy whose main priority in life is getting more kisses & cuddles than his mates.
He would dearly love a child free home and a female greyhound to share his life with.
Presley
A fabulous 5 year old who retired nearly 12 months ago, after 102 races! Don’t let his grey face fool you, Presley is still young at heart! He’s a happy go lucky boy who is very friendly and loves people. Presley walks nicely on his lead, without pulling and is fine with other dogs he’s seen whilst out & about. In the home however Presley would prefer to be the only pet, as he likes all the fuss & attention!
Crockett
This gorgeous boy will be 6 next month. His last & only race in Britain was in March 2022. He came to Tia in September last year as one of 27 dogs removed from their trainer’s neglect. Crockett has spent the last 10 months in a home so he is house trained, used to his home comforts and has been great with the other dogs he has met. Crockett is looking for a quiet, adult only home.
Domino
A sweet natured Lurcher, estimated to be 2 – 4 years of age. He is currently in foster on the Isle of Sky. Domino is house trained, calm yet affectionate with people and loves travelling in the car. Domino is looking for an active home with someone who can continue his basic training. Pet free with a secure garden.
Geronimo
From the same kennels as Branno, stunning Geronimo is another smashing boy! Four years old and already a total gent. Calm & quiet, he gets on well with other hounds and has walked nicely on his lead with our volunteers who describe him as a simply “lovely, lovely boy”. A special soul.
If you think you can offer these or any of our dogs a home, please visit our rehoming page, or get in touch at rehoming@tia-rescue.org.
Please leave your phone number in the email!
We request a minimum donation of £350 to adopt.

Azure
How can this beautiful girl not yet have a home? Azure is an absolute angel. The sort of girl who is unlikely to ever put a paw out of place.
Quiet and gentle, she walks calmly on her lead… almost like a shadow… never leaving your side. Azure has recently been spayed and unfortunately experienced a few complications. She’s now fully recovered and back on her feet, but it’s been a rough few weeks for this gorgeous 3 year old and we’d love to see her in a home, being showered with love as soon as possible.
Would probably suit first time owner or someone looking for calm & placid girl.
Mars
The phrase “ladies first” is becoming all too familiar to our boy, Mars. Over the past six months he has seen all 3 of his sisters head off to new homes and yesterday he waved goodbye to his kennel mate, Elsa. Of course Mars doesn’t begrudge the girls their good fortune… far from it… but it’s a sad fact that the boys do wait longer.
Mars is one of six brothers and sisters that we were asked to re-home earlier this year and, of all the siblings, Mars is the most timid & shy. A little bit unsure, he would benefit from a patient and quiet home, ideally with another hound to help build his confidence.
A beautiful dog who will come out of his shell given time. Mars will be 4 next month and last raced in October 2023.
Tia Dog Walk
On Sun 12th Oct, we will be having our ever popular Tia Dog Walk and Stall (or two) at Cannon Hall Country Park, Cawthorne, near Barnsley S75 4AT, 10am to 4pm. The dog walk around the grounds of Cannon Hall will start at 11am from the stall. Do come along. It is very dog friendly.

Strays
These two beautiful boys were picked up as strays. They need out of the stray kennel now as they need new homes.
Please contact Cliffe kennels on 01226 762391 direct if you can help.
Ned
His racing name was Diamond Ned, and this boy is a diamond through and through. A lovely, happy, friendly 3 year old who is a joy to be around.
You can tell by the smile on Ned’s face how much he enjoys being out and about, and you can sense his happiness as he practically skips along on his lead.
A really lovely boy who is excited to see what his future holds.
Will
Will saw his kennel mate, Helena, head off to her new home last month, and we’re sure he’s missing her a bit. Their trainer used to describe the pair as an old married couple, and kind soul Will would even let Helena eat out of the same bowl.
Great with other hounds, Will is a lovely, friendly fellow who enjoys his outings with our volunteers. He has started to recognise their cars, and gets giddy and excited when he sees them arrive! He’d love to find a home where he can be going on walks & adventures every day!
Will is four this month and just another black boy looking to find his place in the world.
Boost
Lovely Boost is on the hunt for a couple of things.
Firstly – and most importantly – he’s looking for a home. Having retired in May 2024, he’s been patiently waiting for over a year, hoping someone will pick him out from the deluge of black boys. The second thing Boost is looking for is his left ear… which appears to have gone missing!
We, like Boost, hope both are found quickly so that this gorgeous boy’s life can be complete.
If you can offer these – or any of our rehoming dogs – a home, please get in touch at rehoming@tia-rescue.org. Thank you!
Tom and Marley
Tom went off to his new home last week…
As did Marley…
Be good boys…
