Buster (Busted Flash)
born 2/9/2020
Nice calm dog, currently kennelled with the lovely Oola (don’t even think about it mate). Buster hasn’t too many races on the clock and his retirement hasn’t exactly left the Derby betting wide open!
Still at least he made it to the track and tucked four wins under his belt. Glittering career really when compared to his girlfriend.
Currently still with his trainer in Doncaster.
Please get in touch with Deb if interested before he bores Oola to death. “I’m by Kinloch Brae you know”

Jack (One Eye Jack)
born October 2020
Somebody, somewhere, please give this over-friendly lad a better name.
Jack finished lame four weeks ago at Doncaster. His form had fallen off of late anyway. His right eye is smaller than normal, but it didn’t stop him from winning 12 of his 95 races. Possibly blind.
He is still in Doncaster with his trainer and the one dog there that really needs a sofa and a human.

Jackson (Ryecroft Apollo)
born November 2019
Gives kisses. Do you need to know more?
Took twelve of his races over two years so more than earned his keep. Beaten by 0.03 in his final race by a slip of a girl five kilos lighter than him.
Street cred shattered; he hasn’t stepped foot on a track since.
“We had the pleasure of taking this gorgeous boy out to a local park today and he was such a gentleman. He travelled well in the car, laying down for the journey and seemed totally unphased by anything he saw at the park, including other dogs and a horse. Jackson really seemed to enjoy the change of scenery and took everything in his stride, walking calmly on his lead.
He is so affectionate and when we stopped for a rest/photos he gave us his famous kisses and then was just happy to have a sniff and watch the world go by! His trainer says he loves everyone and is also good with kids.”
Needs a change of luck. In Doncaster so please ring Deb for more details.

Four (Plus Four)
d.o.b. 24/5/2021
Like some of us at Tia, needs his roots doing! Just a young lad. Four (the name has to go) is scared of the world and everything in it. Needs a sympathetic soul to show him a brighter side to life.
His nerves haven’t stopped him showing a clean pair of heels and five races are nothing to be ashamed of. Last graced a track back in April and has been waiting for his family to show up ever since.
In Doncaster still. Please ring Deb, it would be lovely to see him with his own Xmas stocking.

More (Salacres More)
born March 2020
Last raced a couple of nights ago. Even then More lost by a nostril. Veteran of 88 races, taking 14 of them in some style. Owes racing nothing and time the lady began her new career with a family.
More can be seen at her trainers in Nottingham.

On the 23rd of March, Tia supporter Gwen Robson will be running her first ever half marathon to raise crucial funds for Tia.
With just under five months to go until the run and her target already reached, this has the potential to become a hugely successful fundraiser for us.
You can donate via her Just Giving page here, and also learn about how she came to be involved with Tia, as well as read updates on her training and preparation.
Many thanks to Gwen and everyone who has donated so far!

Meet Morse.
Let’s start with the obvious… he is enormous. We hope this doesn’t put anyone off however, as he is just the gentlest giant of a hound. Because he hasn’t seen anything but the inside of a kennel, everything in the world is new to him at this point. But he has approached all this newness with curiosity, and hasn’t yet shown any nervousness.
He loves to cuddle, and gazes into your eyes with the deepest, most loving look. He’s very gentle, takes treats from your hand very delicately, and gives the softest nudges with that extra-long nose if he needs reassurance or attention. He’s met a few different people so far, and was confident, friendly and affectionate with them all.
Quickly learned to get up the stairs (with some encouragement from treats!), and then made his own way back down; from there, he happily went up and down as he pleased. It’s certainly not an elegant sight just yet, but he’s done the hard bit already and will just get more and more used to it.
He walks nicely on the lead; didn’t meet any other dogs up close, but did see some from a distance which he was interested in, yet didn’t get too over-excited. With time and experience he’ll learn to understand what non-greyhound dogs actually are.
Morse will definitely need a garden with a high fence – when he sees something, he just seems to effortlessly levitate so all his paws are about 6 feet off of the ground! Also really doesn’t want to be in the same house as another greyhound boy. We’re not sure how he’d be with a girl, but suspect he’d be happier as an only dog.
Because he is so loving, he could easily get too attached to his people, but this should be quite manageable by getting him used very early to some alone time to help him understand that it’s ok not to be with you constantly. He’s an intelligent dog who learns quickly, and we’re sure he’d manage this.
A wonderful dog who deserves a fantastic forever home.

Lewis
This is Lewis; he walks beautifully on the lead; no pulling at all, stops when you stop… hasn’t even been heard barking yet!
Do It Martin was his racing name and he will be 5 years old in February. He has been through the mill and was picked up as a stray in Bradford in October this year.
Lewis is currently in a foster home recovering from a few small injuries…Whether he will be available anytime soon, we don’t know as resident greyhound girl seems quite smitten..

Crockett (Capel Rocky)
d.o.b. 2/10/19
Another Macmanus dog. At Nairn with us. Dead heated in his only race in Britain, March 22. His kennel mate Ridley was a nostril behind him. Then nothing. Probably been in a kennel ever since.
Go back to his grandparents and his pedigree positively glitters. His granny was the rockstar Kildallon Maid, one of the fastest bitches of her generation.
Seems to prefer our place to his former lodgings. Welcome Crockett.
Please ring Deb, Crockett is with us at Nairn

We are still rehoming quietly away, which is really good as homing is not what it used to be. We always look after the boys that no one else wants to take. Lets face it a pretty little 26kg greyhound girl will always be rehomed quicker than a 40kg boy, of which we have plenty.
We have lots of boys for rehoming, up here in Inverness and also in Manchester, Derbyshire and another 7 of Lee Mc’Manus’s dogs currently with a trainer in Doncaster. ( photos & details of these 7 to follow. )
We also have dogs in foster homes, dogs being picked up that have been rehomed badly by other “rescues” as I write and foster people on standby for the ones coming out of the stray kennels…one next Friday.
Please have a look on the rehoming page and lets get some of these lovely lads a home before Christmas. There I typed it, the C word….
Deb
