I think we have had a Charity shop in Halifax for around fifteen years and we have been in the one at Southgate for over ten years. It has always been a decent shop, income wise. However come this April when everything goes up it will no longer be viable. We all know that everything is going up but they are even taking money off charities, all of us.
We used to get over half of our income from the shops which basically paid for the staff at the farm. It doesn’t take much working out that Tia is at the “End of an Era”….the whole model is having to change.
We have always had 100% rate relief on the shops but come April we will have to find 36%, as well as everything else. So yesterday the 28th January we closed our doors.
Thankyou to all our supporters/ donaters and shoppers over all these years. It is very sad.
But don’t worry, I have a plan. I am not giving up on these dogs, no matter what it takes, or where it takes us.

These are some of the dogs that we have here at the kennels for rehoming, not all of them, but the majority.
All gorgeous and all waiting for their own sofas…

Sometimes the greyhounds arrive here quite nervous, bless them, so it’s lovely to see them in their new homes. They do need that extra time to help settle and once they do their character begins to shine through. Here’s Elliott, now known as Boone, settling into home life with the help of Sponsor Dog Boe!

Karen and Gary have been in touch with an update on former Tia girl Agnes (then known as ‘Wisp’) as it’s a year since they adopted her.
“After a few scary medical blips in the early days and diagnosis of a degenerative disc in her neck she recovered amazingly well and is just the most fantastic dog! She’s so comical, loving and full of fun and has brought so much love to our home. We just can’t imagine life without her!
I just wanted to thank you for introducing us to her and for the amazing work you do for all her fellow greyhounds.”
Great work Agnes!

It isn’t often that i name and shame the trainers, but i have decided to turn over a new leaf.
So this is the start of my several posts about the serial trainers, the ones who send their dogs to race at the local flapping track, knowing full well that they are past it, lame, lazy or just plain useless. But of course they will deny that. The favourite excuses? I sent them to a rehoming centre, i rehomed them as a pet, i kept them as a pet. It doesn’t matter how good or bad they were, they just get rid, the easiest, cheapest & quickest way.
So let’s start with the Nevin’s who race at Henlow. On a recent thread on Facebook the secretary of the English Stud Book said this about one of your dogs, Fieldview Franky, and I quote ” How he got to Tia is a bit of a mystery-after his racing career was finished Kirsty and Terry took him to be rehomed at a recognised rehoming kennel- it is very doubtful that he ever went to a flapping track……at times you do have to take what places like Tia say with a pinch ( or a bucket ) of salt….
So let’s start with ;
Fieldview Franky….25 races the last one being 20/03/20Â Â arrived @ Tia 10/09/20
Tyra Lola….77 races the last one being 15/03/20Â Â arrived @ Tia 10/09/20
Fieldview Zenna…. 14 races the last one being 8/03/20Â arrived @ Tia 31/07/20
Ballymac Tower…19 races the last one being 11/05/21Â arrived @ Tia 25/09/21
Desnas Dilemma….29 races the last one being 19/07/21 arrived @ Tia 6/09/21
Sullane Tempo….31 races the last being 31/07/21Â arrived @ Tia 6/09/21
Fieldview Remy…123 races the last one being 29/08/21Â arrived @ Tia 25/10/21
Holiday Fairy…51 races the last one being 2/11/21 arrived @ Tia 18/11/21
Store Floor….28 races the last one being 11/10/21Â Â arrived & Tia 29/12/21
Jewel Rank….18 races the last one being 10/10/21Â arrived @ Tia 6/1/22
So Viv, Elaine, Clare & Liz and of course the serial offenders….” Let us begin ”
