The dog's for rehoming page has been updated, and we have seven new dogs looking for a home... introducing; Scottie Keiran Layla Tom Pal Blue Boy Cranky For all rehoming enquiries please contact info@tia-rescue.org; thank you.

We have decided to make better use of our online shop. We will be posting things all the time. There will still be all our usual stock items but we are also adding items that we get donated. We get some really lovely and varied items and we will be updating the shop...

As many of you are aware, some bright spark ( very expensive marketing company no doubt ) has changed the way that people can choose the "Charity of their choice" to receive the lifeline vouchers.  Which I have to say, are worth having. We have just saved £150 on a...

The farrier came today. I was very scared, I'm scared about most things to be honest. I do a lot of jumping which makes my mom jump too and shout "jesus Odin". My front shoes were welded on so I had to be sedated to get them off...it took ages but they are off now so...

With the greyhound industry in serious trouble, wouldn't it be great if we had a rehoming centre back in Yorkshire. I know of one trainer, just one of many who has over 200 dogs. Around 90 of them aren't racing, they are just stuck in trainers kennels.. If only we had...

It’s fair to say we have moved about a bit. You have to hand it to us, we always sleep with our boots on ready to run.  Tia began as a shed in a field and then traded up to a sewage farm in Sowerby Bridge. A devastating break in and Yorkshire water put the kibosh on...

 Lola.. She has Jeremy ears for those who have lasted the distance. Her connections should hang their heads in shame over this little girl. Lindrick Loner. dob 22.3.16. More guts and tenacity in her paw than most of the block put together. Lola was discovered on an...

Well all I can say is, things are still mental.... With having no one on the yard and only three part time members of staff in the kennels, the main of the work again falls to me and Bob. We are doing seven days a week, on average 160 hours a week between us. We never...

We are rehoming plenty of dogs direct from their trainers. I have just added a load more on the rehoming page. We have dogs in Nottingham, Derbyshire and now Stockport, Manchester who are looking for a new start. And of course a few here, but we specialise in dogs...

When Rupert was fetched to us by the Police in January 2022, it was clear that he had had a very hard life. He had been found tied to rubbish bins in Doncaster town centre. The dog wardens weren’t working and the rspca didn’t want him. They had no one to send out…to...

What I forgot to put on the website is that we got keys to our new Charity Shop in Nairn in February. The shop was in a bit of a state but with the help of some very good workmen, free scaffold boards and a team of volunteers, it didn't take long to sort it out. We...

Crossfield Sean. 20.7.16 - 20.3.24 Pure eye candy. Steer was quite frankly magnificent. A wonderful sponsor dog who eventually found his place in the world on the sofa of two special people. To our amazement he took to it like a duck to water.  He came to live at our...

James has just clocked off his final shift. Tia never knew how old he really was. That's the trouble with lurchers and frankly we don't know how his girl will cope. Kiah lives for him as he did her. We knew it was coming but that doesn't make it any easier. His story...

Rossmore Dazzler bn 13.06.2020 Irish Coursing Champion. Lovely big dog. No doubt he fell out of favour, got a bit old, a bit slow. Around 3 weeks ago he landed in England and 2 weeks later he ended up in the stray kennel after been found straying in West Yorkshire....

I got a call last weekend from a lovely lady, in Aberdeen, very worried as her friend is in hospital and she needed somewhere for her friends greyhound girl to go and be safe...a very spoilt and treasured girl at that. Long story short...she spent 2 nights with her...

I know a lot of people have been worried that we won't be rehoming anymore.. We are, it's just done in a different way. Fortunately with all the people I have met, owners and trainers and of course our amazing volunteers, over the past 28 years, we have all pulled...

We have 8 empty kennels in the new block and 23 kennels in the old shed that need to come down. That's potentially 62 greyhounds who's lives we could save immediately. As it is we are struggling massively, financially, so these kennels won't be filled anytime soon. It...

You can take the lurcher out of Doncaster....

To the backroom boys and girls. We are under no illusions that our faults are numerous. In a perfect world we would be on our knees thanking you on a daily basis. It isn't and we don't but occasionally we try to make amends. Tia would not exist without you. It takes...

From a distance you could say that we haven't had a bad year. We lost Myrtle and Boe, two old stalwarts who had been in long term foster for years. Thank you to their families who gave them a chance, showering them with love until the dogs last breath. Losing Mr Mole...

There are so many things I could say about this and I don't normally hold back, but I wouldn't know where to start. Apart from the abhorrent behaviour, entirely the solicitor's doing, what if this wonderful person had family and they never received a thank you?...

The kennels won't be ready for Xmas...it'll be in the New Year... I have mixed feelings to be honest. Not for the delay, lots of other reasons...just feel a bit sad...Deb

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...

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....

  We have added a few new items if you want to pop over for a look, including coloured collars and different lengths of the rubber leads, which are exclusive to Tia and are non slip. Thanks Deb

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...

He's 10yrs old today...Happy Birthday Uriah...it's fourteen months ago that he broke his leg...a bloody tumour. It was awful to begin with I'm not going to lie...but it's been worth every minute with this special lovely greyhound boy. 

A marvelous day was had yesterday at Canon Hall. Thanks to everyone who came and thanks to everyone who donated and of course the volunteers for arranging the day. £650 was raised. A fabulous amount...Deb

We have decided to call him Eric. He is doing extremely well, it is day 3 in his foster home and the progress already from day 1 is immense. It's been a rocky road for the boy but he's getting there. He's been in the bath and had a good scrub up and now he's all...

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...

We will be here fundraising on Bank Holiday Monday 1st May with a Tia stall.

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...

He's not well, my boy. I cant put my finger on it and he's had blood tests that were all normal. He just not that interested in his food. A bit of this, a bit of that. He must be at least 12 years old and despite rehoming 4 times he always wanted to come back to Tia....
