Website Donations
It’s time to talk about donations.
Many of you understand that when you donate (or buy goods) via our website, Tia is charged a small transaction fee for the privilege of using PayPal, which currently sits at 1.4% + 20p, per transaction. Although this is a lower rate than what a regular “for-profit” business would be charged, the financial hit is still significant.
Put into perspective; from the beginning of this year until the end of October, Tia received just over £36,000 in donations and payments via our website, for which we were charged just over £700 in fees. That amount of money could have paid for 35 bags of dog food, which we use one of every day.
Let’s face it; PayPal doesn’t need the money. But we do.
So, if you are thinking of making a donation – one-off or recurring – we would urge you to do so via BACS/ standing order.
We have always offered donors the chance to set up monthly standing orders to support us, and we now offer an even easier way to set this up via our website. If you want to make a regular donation (either one-off or recurring), you can do so here. Enter your details, and upon completion of checkout, you will be provided with our bank details to set up payment yourself.
We also offer a similar option for sponsorships, and our monthly lottery; at checkout select “direct bank transfer”, and again you will be provided with the relevant details upon completion.
We know it’s less convenient than a quick online payment, but you’ve seen the potential difference the extra money can make to us.
Thank you.

Pets At Home Lifelines Issue Resolved
We are pleased to update you that the issue when selecting Tia Greyhound and Lurcher Rescue to receive Pets At Home Lifelines is now resolved! Customers who shop at Pets at Home can now select to support us, no matter the distance they live from the kennels in Nairn. On the app, it will populate the nearest to you, but there is now the option to search above if you want to support us. Rather than the app saying “No Charity Found” , “Tia Greyhound and Lurcher Rescue” will populate.
