We at Tia Rescue are deeply committed to the well-being and welfare of Greyhounds and Lurchers. It is with a heavy heart that we address a recent incident that has shaken the community. A news article published by Hull Live has brought to light a distressing case involving Rebecca Perkins, a greyhound trainer with 17 years of experience. The article reports on her conviction, imprisonment, and lifetime ban from keeping animals. The severity of the situation reminds us of the continued importance of animal welfare and the critical role we play in rescue and rehabilitation efforts.
According to Hull Live article, inspectors made a shocking discovery at a farm associated with Rebecca Perkins. Tragically, they uncovered deceased dogs on the premises, highlighting the harrowing conditions in which these innocent animals were kept. The details revealed in the case serve as a stark reminder of the ongoing challenges we face in ensuring the safety and well-being of vulnerable animals.
At Tia Rescue, we strive to provide a safe haven and a second chance for Greyhounds and Lurchers who have experienced neglect, abandonment, or mistreatment. Incidents like this reinforce the importance of our mission and the urgency of our work. By rescuing and rehabilitating these magnificent dogs, we aim to counteract the cruelty they may have endured in the past and give them an opportunity to thrive in loving and caring forever homes.
The Rebecca Perkins case serves as a solemn reminder of the ongoing need for vigilance and advocacy when it comes to animal welfare. We encourage everyone to read the full article published by Hull Live to better understand the situation and the challenges faced by organizations like ours. By shedding light on these distressing incidents, we can collectively work towards preventing such acts of cruelty and ensuring the well-being of every Greyhound and Lurcher.

The first load left 3 weeks ago…Bob’s tractor and the new kennel partitions that were made eighteen months ago. We have had vans and wagons up and down the motorway since then. It’s all systems go. I will keep everyone updated…
Thanks Deb

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.

We currently have a number of hounds in foster homes and received an update on how Cecil is doing.
Cecil has spent 3 weeks in foster now and I’m pleased to say we have had no issues with him and he is adapting to home life wonderfully. Cecil is house trained and sleeps through the night and is ok to be left as long as he has something to keep him busy, we’ve gone for using a Kong or his favourite teddy (which he carries around the house with him). Cecil loves his lunchtime walks and enjoys going to the park and playing with a tennis ball. Hes friendly with other dogs, doesn’t pay them much attention but I wouldn’t recommend him being rehomed with a small fury or a cat, oh and he LOVES squirrels, he gets very excited around them :’)
I’ve included some photos of him over the last week. His sleep troubles have stopped, he sleeps through the night now and hasn’t growled at us for a while, I’ve heard a few barks at Cali but nothing I am worried about. Cecil has a big personality; Hes very playful (already throwing his tedding around the room and making the squeaker squeak), he is very cuddly and chilled also. Hes such a fabulous dog. We’ve mastered the stairs fine and is happy jumping up and gets into the boot when he wants to. Hes fine with noises just isn’t too keen on the hoover. We tried crate training him but he was petrified of it, so we decided against it. Would maybe try again in a few weeks once he is settled and has a home routine.
Hes very inquisitive and active, which I think he would be suited to a more active family as he loves to be in the garden sniffing and investigating, but he isn’t hard work he has even started giving kisses.

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…
