The addresses are;

You probably know all about our “Sponsor a Dog” scheme, but do you know you can also sponsor a horse? Similar to our dog sponsorships, you can sponsor any of our horses for £52 for a year, or £26 for six months. You can also sponsor a stable for £150. Company sponsorship is welcomed, as is sponsorship as a gift, or in memory of a loved one.
All sponsors receive a certificate of sponsorship and an optional birthday card from their chosen sponsor horse. Stable sponsors will have their certificate displayed on their stable for a year.
If you are thinking of sponsoring as a gift for Christmas, today will be your last chance to do so to ensure it arrives before the 25th!
You can read all about our sponsor horses here.
Another successful foster last week, with Nancy dropped off in Perth. She’s off to live with our gorgeous Wilbur… foster parents are worth their weight in gold. Please let’s get some more dogs out of these kennels for Christmas.
Fantastic news from down under – it was announced just last week that greyhound racing is to be banned in New Zealand. You can see the announcement below. Wonder when this will catch on over here…? Don’t hold your breath…
[Story taken from Woodhaven Second Chance Rehoming Facebook page]
“On 04/11/2024 a member of the public arrived at our kennels with a greyhound that she had pulled OUT of a canal. This greyhound was given the name SLIPPERS (red coat in photos). A few hours later we received a call from the dog warden regarding a second greyhound that had been pulled out the same canal. We went to collect the second greyhound from the finders (blue coat and first photo). This greyhound was given the name BOOTS. We were able to trace through their microchips that they are both ex racing greyhounds. Both boys are incredibly lucky that there was people around that spotted them and pulled them out to safety.”
We do know who the dogs are, who trained them and probably who rehomed them. Further details will follow. And that I promise…
And if anyone gets really bored over the holiday period, you could always read the 76 page New Strategy document from the GBGB, titled
”A Good Life For Every Greyhound“
Greyhounds deserve the highest level of care not only during their racing career but also in their retirement that follows.
The Government recognises the genuine concerns some people have about parts of the sport and I’m pleased to see this five year plan set out how everyone involved in greyhound racing has a role to play in improving welfare.
The Government welcomes the “Good Life for every Greyhound” strategy and the positive progress the Greyhound Board are continuing to make.
The Rt Hon Lord Goldsmith, Animal Welfare Minister
Me thinks not…
Another thanks to everyone who has bought a “heart” for our Christmas tree. So far you have raised £750, and we still have lots left (as well as room on the tree!). If there’s someone you want to remember – pet, friend, loved one – or perhaps you just want to send us Christmas greetings, then consider buying a heart for £5 here. We’d love to crack £1k before the month is over.
The tree is looking good…
Been in the loft to get the Christmas decorations down, and come to the sudden realisation that you have far too much stuff? Perhaps you’ve even considered….throwing it away!?
Well… don’t! We always need tombola prizes and teddies, and will gladly accept those and other suitable items either of our charity shops (Pickering or Nairn). The same goes for any unwanted gifts you may receive in just over a week…
Don’t forget – if you can’t make it to one of our charity shops, please contact collect@tia-rescue.org; it may be possible for us to collect your goods nearer to home.
The addresses for our shops are below – please read this page for a brief guide on what items we can/ can’t accept.
Thank you.
