We have a new van. It’s black…. Fortunately we know a guy who has a Tia dog and he is the main sales man at the van shop, so we got a good deal… We need it signing up and i need some inspiration…. Something that will show everyone what Tia is all about…
Maybe a good picture or two…
The pictures need to be high resolution, the bigger megapixels the better…

We have 22 dogs here for rehoming at the minute….obviously that doesn’t include the other 40, the sponsor dogs and the naughty dogs…
We don’t know a massive amount about them as they haven’t been here long…and funnily enough not 1 of them qualified for the £400 from the Greyhound Retirement Scheme…
Especially Logie….
Logie is only 12 months old, he came over from Ireland on Thursday..via a transporter…he has injured himself slightly and couldn’t begin his race career….thank fully the trainer sent him here…..and here is probably where he will stay. He is an absolute nervous wreck…the worst we have had in a long, long while…even worse than Mr Mole…
Welcome to Tia big puppy dog…

It’s very sad but we had to say our goodbyes to Matilda on Monday evening, peacefully, with the help of a great vet and her humans at her side.
Osteosarcoma is nasty and aggressive and even Matilda with all her determination and stoicism could only fight it for a short time.
We miss our morning snuggles in her bed and all the different looks she gave when she wanted you to do something for her, “is that steak going spare?”, “I could do with a neck scratch”, the paw for more, the head nudge, the lean, the harrumph. We already miss her presence, the counterbalance she brought to a crazy world.
The gentlest of souls, but we all knew (especially Max our other greyhound) that she was the boss.
TIA’s Poster girl, calendar girl (twice), loved by everyone she met and protector and mentor of Max, who is a bit lost at the moment.
We are heartbroken, but not far underneath the grief is a smile and a glow of happiness, she lived 12 ½ years and 7 of those with us and 6 months loved and restored to health at TIA Rescue beforehand. She made her own luck by her trust and her determination to overcome her fears.
Her indomitable spirit will live within us and inspire us forever.
Rest in Peace sweetheart. Much loved and forever in our hearts.

Don’t bother getting in touch. He isn’t going anywhere for the moment. Glencoe is one of the most magnificent greyhounds to pass our threshold in a very long time. We keep going to check on him! Just to see if he needs anything you understand. Like a sardine or a snog. A fresh blanket perhaps or his duvet straightened. At an official weight of 42kgs and no racing form we suspected he had been bred for the coursing industry and we were proved correct.
Winner of a major coursing prize in Ireland a few years ago, he was collected by the dog warden from a house in Bradford a few weeks ago. We know he has been flapping. We know he is underweight. What we don’t know is how the hell he got into the clutches of a frankly notoriously uncaring owner.
…….but we are hell bent on finding out.
