Tarzan – A day we have been dreading
Tarzan (Rusheen Bouler) 10/7/2011 - 24/04/2025 One look at him was enough. He calmly returned our gaze. We tore up the plan and his docs went straight to the Sponsor Dogs file. It simply wasn't worth the risk. Trialled twice in Ireland without increasing anyone's...

Only 17 tracks left…
One of our volunteers has been wittering on for years regarding the fallout when the tracks start to close. Alarmingly it seems she was correct. The run down of the industry, particularly in the Northeast is merely a straw in the wind. A warning of what is to come....

It was twenty years ago today.
Those of a certain age will have Sgt Pepper in their head for the rest of the day. For Tia, it means the day we didn't sell our soul to the racing industry...the NGRC as it was then, more recently the GBGB. God knows we could have used the cash. Tia was still reeling...

RIP River
An email we received from Lauren regarding River: Hi Deb I just wanted to say thank you to you and Bob for all the work you both do. I'd never had a dog before I came to Tia. When we first came to look at dogs with you, we weren't entirely convinced we were ready for...

Oh Ely
I aren't gonna lie, there are just some dogs that you fall in love with instantly, Ely was certainly one of them. It was really hard to let him go but it was the right thing to do. He has gone to live with Jess and Millie. He only went on Wednesday and already he has...
Nothing has changed

Also 3 years ago today..
When we get a call from the stray kennels, it’s always a mystery as to how the dogs have ended up there. This little girl, now called Spiggie, came off one of the usual suspects. Notorious for rehoming/retiring/giving away free to good homes and generally dumping his...
Photographers needed
I am going to be updating the website soon with dogs that are in desperate need of homes, that are still in trainers kennels. These are trainers that I have known for years and they generally aren't good with technology and they do admit it themselves. There are...

I know some people may not find this very interesting, but here at Tia we think it's amazing.. We have to wait for 5 weeks for the resin floor, but we can crack on with the rest of the internals... The dogs WILL be in for Xmas.....
A Pipe Dream
In an ideal world this would be our rehoming centre and the farm here in Scotland would be the sanctuary for all the greyhounds no one else wants. With the big charities screaming out for a ban and for greyhound racing to be fazed out in the next 5 years where will...
Week 2
The guys from Nethy steel have worked really hard these last 2 weeks. The concrete floor will be in this week and then we have to wait a month before the resin can go down. In the meantime the inside of the building will be cladded. I'm hoping the dogs will be in by...

Chops….was Wallace
My beautiful and oh so gentle and sensitive boy Chops has gone. Rescued from the vile racing industry only to be given away to a despicable and disgusting ‘woman’ who starved and neglected him. ‘Chops’ because despite of the abuse he suffered – his tail never stopped...
An update.
It has been a busy few weeks, as always. The saddest thing, apart from losing Poppy the puppy to parvo, was the loss of our beautiful shire, Ed. We had been trying for months, but the grass is so rich up here that we are having to manage the horses very carefully....

I'm not gonna lie, the past 18months has been a shocker. With the lack of funds, the move and the never ending sorrow that comes with running a rescue, does sometimes take it's toll. But it's the Rebecca Perkins of this world that makes us stronger. When we moved I...

Big soft lad in need of a home….

Little Jack…available for sponsor
Little Jack. He's 11yrs old now...when he arrived at Tia 8 years ago he was nearly dead. He was so thin and poorly with kennel cough from the stray kennel. He was rehomed once but he is a nightmare with other dogs and it didn't last long. I did take him to Fraisthorpe...

Phillip
Phillip. So we have found out that not only did he have giardia when he came to Tia but campylobacter too. No wonder he is like a hat rack. He is on his second round of medications so let's hope this and a special diet will sort him out. This food is amazing but it's...
And Breathe
We have finally got an interim payment from my friends legacy. It won't build a new kennel block but it will keep us afloat in the short term. The good thing is, we have never owed anyone a penny. With the sale of mine and Bob's house we have managed to keep going....
