One of our volunteers spotted a FTGH advert on the Greyhound Data page. Nothing new in that, many of your dogs started their journey on this site. Tia had enough on with the move and besides, Doncaster is a long way from our kennels now.
 It became clear after a month that this fellow wasn’t going to be snapped up so Tia called up the old guard in Yorkshire. By then he looked a bit moth-eaten to say the least.
 Length of time of his fall from grace? Gilbert came last at Doncaster on 9th April. Advertised FTGH, 16th April. Sprung by our volunteer (thanks Missus) and came into the fold on the 16th May, smelling like a rabbit hutch.
 Gilbert is a big lump at 35 kilos. Three wins out of 17 races and not three years old. Hardly the pick of his litter and typical of the breeding mill that churns out rubbish to make a buck. Three of the litter made the track and only one is still in training, (came 4th last night at Perry Barr). Another is at a rescue, having won once. Wow.
Gilbert went straight into a foster home and after a few tricky days won his family over.
Enjoy the sofa you great daft lump.

Terence came to us in December 2019. He was one of the Sheffield 13.
Over the past 27 years i can honestly say that these 13 dogs were kept in the worst conditions i have ever seen.
Stilton, Baby belle, Rosie & Winnie are still very happy in their fabulous homes.
Spot & Dot, Bungle and of course Mr Mole are still at Tia.
Terence has gone to join the others that have sadly left us. Eugene, Ramble, Moo Mar and Pollypocket.
He was in the house at the end. A beautiful dog, never a minutes trouble and i miss him terribly.
Those poor dogs had been in absolute filth for the most of their lives. Some of them never recovered. I could write about them for days. Maybe one day i will.

And there there is this little one. Squirt. She is now 9 years old. She came off a council estate in Doncaster, she was left tied up in park. She was only a baby when we got her, around three we think. She has always looked older. It was discovered a few years ago that she has a really poorly heart. She also has awful Sarcoids, (skin cancer). We did get a specialist to look at her a couple of years ago but due to her heart condition and where they are they couldn’t be operated on. We have now got her under going treatment with our new vets, Moray Coast Vets. They are coming out every other day for 10 days initially to administer medication. As you all know, all our animals get whatever they need once they are here at Tia. Whatever it is from routine care, to very expensive sarcoid cream…Ouch!!
This is when she came to Tia….Deb

 We have recently lost Rebecca, she was 22yrs old but the damage that had been done to her feet before we got her in 2016 was horrendous. Rob Bedford, who had been our farrier for over twelve years in Yorkshire did a wonderful job managing to keep on top of them but the pain had become too much for her and we had to let her go.
The worst shock was Beano, my little donkey. He was fine one minute, then gone the next. I don’t know how Dandy is going to cope. It was heart breaking, he was only 10 years old.

We have 27 horses and ponies on site at the minute. The lovely Angie & Celine are going to live on Bernera in September. A far cry from the over 100 cobs that were left to die in the fields on Wroot Road in Doncaster. They nearly did die to be honest but we persevered and then some.
What lucky ponies they are and very soon they will have a small girl human to call their very own….
