Church St Millie bn 8th September 2019.
She last raced at Doncaster on the 29th April 2023.
50 races she had under her belt, including 9 firsts and 7 seconds. Not a bad career.
True to form she ended up on the streets in South Yorkshire and ended up at Cliffe kennels. She had a week there and was picked up by Glencoe’s mom and dad on Tuesday 19th March.
Today, Sunday the 24th March she has bagged herself a new home. One where she will be safe and loved for the rest of her life.
Thanks to everyone, again…
I have been typing the same story for the past 28 years…
Still, there isn’t a problem with the racing industries there??

Russanda Ripley Open Class racer.. A very good dog. Russanda Ripley was born in December 2015, he was born at a trainers, who had and still have a huge racing strength and are probably still breeding greyhound puppies. He was no doubt running about the paddocks next to another litter which included Russanda Capri, Maha, our beautiful sponsor dog. Whilst Maha was absolutely useless and was given away by her trainer, at only 19 months old, to live on an allotment and make up numbers at Askern Greyhound stadium, the independent track that is now closed. She would have been classed as a card filler. A year later she was given to Tia, even that guy know how useless she was. No wonder she was traumatised and still is to be honest. In the meantime Ripley had an outstanding career, an Open Class dog, one of the best. He notched up 73 races, his last one being on the 3rd August 2020. This boy was retired to a rescue centre in Barnsley. They tried there best with him for over two years. He was rehomed 3 times. Each time the owners were told not to have him on the bed, each time the owners ignored the advice, each time he snapped at them when they disturbed his sleep, his dreaming of winning again interrupted by a stray elbow or foot. So he was destined to be destroyed but thankfully they rang here….He does guard his bed, but as long as he is off it he is no bother at all. Ripley is one of those dogs who still wants to be racing. He is lost. Can he be rehomed? Absolutely. To the right person who respects this dog for his achievements and not use him as a teddy bear or comfort blanket.
A payroll giving scheme is an easy, tax-efficient way of donating through your salary.
Payroll Giving, also known as Give As You Earn, is an easy, convenient and tax-effective way to make a regular donation, so it costs you less to give more.
With Payroll Giving you can donate to the Tia Greyhound and Lurcher Rescue straight from your gross salary (before tax is deducted) giving immediate tax relief on your donations.
Anyone who pays UK tax through PAYE can donate through Payroll Giving.
How much can I donate?
If you choose to donate through Payroll Giving, you have full control over how much you would like to give. There is no minimum, or maximum amount.
If you pay the basic 20% tax rate, for every £1 that you earn, 20p is paid in tax.
That means if you pledge £10 a month, we’ll receive the full amount but only £8 will be deducted from your net pay.
If you pay income tax at the higher rate of 40%, you can pledge £10 a month and only £6 will be deducted from your net pay, and at the highest rate of 45%, only £5.50 would be deducted.
Plus, it is more efficient for higher rate taxpayers to donate through Payroll Giving than Gift Aid as charities are unable to claim back tax above the basic rate through the Gift Aid scheme.
The income tax applicable to the donation is paid to the Tia Rescue instead of HMRC.
Example of pledges and costs
| Employee pledge | Cost to standard rate taxpayer (20%) |
Cost to higher rate taxpayer (40%) |
Cost to highest rate taxpayer (45%) |
| £5 per month | £4 | £3 | £2.75 |
| £10 per month | £8 | £6 | £5.50 |
| £15 per month | £12 | £9 | £8.25 |
| £20 per month | £16 | £12 | £11 |
Donating to the Tia Rescue with Payroll Giving
The first step is to check with your employer to make sure that your company offers Payroll Giving. If they do, they will arrange your donation through your salary for you.
If your employer does not currently offer Payroll Giving, you can write to them and encourage them to set one up. To set up a Payroll Giving scheme, your organisation will need to register with an approved Payroll Giving agency.
If your circumstances change and you want to change or cancel your donation at any time, simply tell your employer. If you change your job, your donations will not be transferred to your new employer, so you will need to start a new Payroll Giving scheme with them.
