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.

The story of SLIPPERS and BOOTS
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
If any of the people who helped drag these boys out of the canal see this post CAN YOU PLEASE RING ME

Yes 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

We may no longer be based in Yorkshire, but we are still in the area… kind of.
Our charity shop in Pickering remains open, 10 – 4 every day. The address is;
1A Market Place
Pickering
YO18 7AA
Donations are of course always welcome, and we accept a variety of items, provided they are in good, clean, saleable condition. If you are unsure whether or not we will accept your items, please ring the shop manager Emma on 07951 076674, who will help you out.
If for some reason you can’t reach the shop to drop off your items, then please get in touch with us at collect@tia-rescue.org; we may be able to organise a collection nearer to home.
And of course, there’s always… gift aid! If you are donating goods to our shop and are a UK tax payer – and your donated goods sell – we are able to claim an 25% extra on the proceeds. At no extra cost to you. Ask a member of staff when you bring in your items, and you will be provided with a gift aid declaration form to complete. You will be issued with a gift aid number, which you can then attach to your future donations every time you drop them off.
