Fellow traveller of Miller and just as handsome. Lucky not to have come to any harm and many thanks to the handful of folk who didn’t turn their backs.
Right. Onwards. Like his pal, Mason is a bit thin and will need a bit more time to recover. A foster home would be ideal for now as his head is all over the place. Beautiful dog you have to admit.
Welcome Mason.
born July 22
Tuxedo greyhound. Stunning. Born in Ireland. Failed to impress in his first run and red carded for life in his second. Bravo Jim.
A daft puppy who’s tail never stopped wagging on our walk. Very friendly and playful and good with kids – would suit a family. He likes to be involved and with you as much as possible.
We love this sort.
“Jim has been in foster since just before Christmas and, after being understandably overwhelmed to begin with, he is now starting to find his feet. Jim is a very sweet natured boy who loves people. He has settled quickly into his foster family’s routine and is clean in the house. Jim loves to play with his toys but doesn’t destroy them and, providing he has his toys to play with, will settle when left for a couple of hours but is always delighted to see you when you return!
Jim has met and made friends with children and has been happy meeting dogs of all sizes. He is currently living with another male Greyhound and we do think he would benefit from the company of another dog. Jim can become worried if his environment gets too noisy. He is easily reassured but does need a quiet, safe space to retreat to.
Jim likes his food but has an interesting way of eating it! He takes a little bit of kibble out of his dish, takes it to the hallway, eats it and then goes back to get some more, sprinkling it all on route!
Jim has proven himself to be an adaptable boy who has settled well into home life and is now ready to start looking for his forever family. We think Jim would make a great family pet and would enjoy living with sensible, older children. Jim responds best to gentle learning and needs patient adopters who will give him time to settle into his new home”.

February might only be a short month but there were still plenty of gorgeous hounds helped and homed!
Baby Hilda, little Arthur, and Mulder have all joined their new families and, after waiting an age for his chance, Romeo bagged himself a place in one of our fabulous foster homes.
The two lovely Lurchers found straying in Leeds are both now safe and looking forward to brighter futures. Lucky Lady, is currently in foster with long-time Tia supporters and the worried boy found a place with Cheshire Sighthound Rescue. Thank you to everyone involved in making these happy endings happen
Yesterday was Miller’s 6th birthday. And where this beautiful boy has been for the last 6 years, we have no idea. But needless to say, we don’t think he’s spent it as a much loved pet, with full belly and soft bed.
After being picked up as a stray in January, Miller has spent the last 6 weeks at Tia and he is now more than ready to move on. After spending his life so far goodness knows where, this boy needs to make up for lost time and find a family who will shower him with love.
Stunning tuxedo boy Jim has been in foster since mid December and so we know plenty about him. Here is a quick update from his foster family…
“This lovely lad’s character is coming out wonderfully since being with us. He is a very loving boy and enjoys going out in the car. He has settled down very well into a normal family life and always asks to go out if he needs to. No messes in the house and is left daily when we go to work. He doesn’t chew but does collect slippers. He understands basic commands such as wait, steady and lie down, whether he does them or not is a work in progress! He gives hugs and kisses and loves a zoomie. Whoever does decide to adopt him will get a smashing new member of the family. This wee lad deserves the best”
Jim is more than ready to find his forever family!

Our Online Auction starts this Saturday!
There will be over 150 items up for grabs; books, records, ornaments, art, fashion, jewellery… and lots more. And of course plenty of items for our furry friends – leads, toys, beds, and even a few games! Something for everyone.
Details of all items and how to take part will be on our Facebook page here.
Two’s company!
If anyone out there is looking for a pair, you couldn’t go wrong with Kathleen & George, Lilly & Teff or Kelsey & Arthur. These pairs are currently kennelled together and, whilst all six are confident enough to potentially live as only dogs, it would be extra lovely for them to find homes together. Let us know if you have room for two!
Jim (or Jimmy as he prefers to be known) has been in foster since mid December and it’s a mystery why this young, good looking boy is not yet in his forever home.
In the words of his foster Mum “whoever adopts Jimmy will get a smashing new member of the family. This wee boy deserves the best”. Jim is in Scotland.
We’ve got a big following in Yorkshire, right?! And Yorkshire folk love a good brew?! So how come our beautiful boy Brew is still waiting for his home?
Brew has just turned 4 and is your typical Greyhound – a chilled out & low maintenance boy.
So if you like putting your feet up whilst having a cuppa and sharing the odd Digestive, Brew could be the boy for you!
Anton (fawn) & Aaron (blue) – two stunning new boys looking for their forever homes. Have read about them below…
Will you join us in sending lots of love & virtual hugs Romeo’s way?!
This gorgeous boy was in for his neutering & dental this week. Whilst we know he’s in safe hands with Donaldsons and his foster family, what would really cheer Romeo up is the news he has a home! Anyone?!
Romeo has been in foster since early February and has settled in like a dream! His foster family describe him as “a lovely lad” who is confident, happy and walks to heel on his lead.
If you think you could rehome a Tia hound, please get in touch at rehoming@tia-rescue.org. PLEASE LEAVE YOUR PHONE NUMBER IN THE EMAIL. Thank you!
We request a minimum donation of £350 to adopt.
This time last week Lady the little black girl was picked up from the stray kennel in Leeds. Who knew that Will was going to fall so deeply in love. He is absolutely head over heels with his new foster girl… What a beautiful picture.
Thanks to Leeds Dog Wardens and obviously her foster parents for stepping up and helping.

Alright, show a bit of decorum. Under wraps for now until we find out a little more about him. Dropped off the radar after December 2024 and hasn’t exactly set the track on fire in his trials since. Small chap at 30 kgs but not disgraced by any means, with 10 wins under his belt.
“An absolutely stunning fawn boy with a few ‘snowflake’ spots. He has the most beautiful eyes with full eyeliner…. He was timid though, and a bit reluctant to start the walk and all around the track. He didn’t show any aggression, even with Aaron bouncing around. HOWEVER! Once in the car park, his tail came up, and even started wagging. He was more confident, and was happy to have a look around. Craig said once he gets to know you, he isn’t timid. He did walk nicely by my side in the car park, but needed encouragement on the track. My gut feeling is that he doesn’t like the track. I would think he would do better in a quiet home, maybe with another hound for confidence.“
Yes he is gorgeous.

Well – Zebedee is the first thing that comes to mind!
Quite a petite boy, but a beautiful blue with a gorgeous face. He looked keen on the track, but was equally bouncy in the car park. Spent the whole walk bouncing at the end of the lead!
I would imagine an experienced home needed, and maybe a higher energy one!
Valentines Day may have been and gone, but Romeo is still looking for his Juliet…!
Romeo has been in foster for a couple of weeks, and his foster family describe him as “such a lovely lad” who is confident, happy and walks beautifully on his lead. He mostly walks to heel and doesn’t pull. Romeo settles well at night and sleeps through until just before 7am. He is a very friendly boy who loves attention and fuss and is excited to meet people who come to visit.
He is living happily with 2 other male hounds and has seen other breeds out and about. Having never seen other breeds before, Romeo has reacted amazingly well and has shown nothing more than a bit of general interest.
Romeo has been left for a couple of hours without issue and is generally clean in the house. He does have the occasional accident during the night but it’s still very early days and he will soon pick up the routine. Romeo is great around food and does not have any guarding issues. He has recently started playing with toys and has spent time with older visiting children. He’s a clever boy who listens to what you tell him and who has quickly settled into his new home.
Romeo is a fabulous boy who has made huge progress in a few short weeks.
A little powerhouse! Very friendly girl with just the right amount of sass & sparkle. Her profile says it all…
“A real professional. No-one can tell her how to run a race.
Lilly trailed in last back in September 2025, beaten by advancing years. You and me both lass. Veteran of over 100 races and winning or second in almost half of them. No champion, no blistering speed, but an honest lady who threw her heart into the fight.
Time to hang up her muzzle. Owes racing nowt! Racing owes her a sofa and a loving family. Quite an inquisitive little girl, Lilly is also a power house and a real little chunky unit. Gym bunnies would give her a wide berth as Lilly could bench press them with one hand. The lads wouldn’t risk it either.
Kennelled with Teff and the kennel staff would love to see her/them going down the drive.”
Lovely Lil’s will be 6 in June and it’s high time she put her paws up.
Sibling rivalry at it’s best! There is no love lost between the Snooty sisters!
They have to travel in opposite ends of the van, to avoid the inevitable bickering over who is going to get a home first!
Kathleen (yellow collar) is your typical older sister… quiet and calm. Friendly & sensible with her head screwed on! Whilst Kelsey (purple collar) is more the cheeky younger sister with bags of enthusiasm. Loves being the centre of attention and having a fuss!
When it comes to leaving the premises, we expect they’ll each style it out in their own unique way! Kathleen will depart in the most ladylike fashion, trotting daintily by her adopters side. To go one better, Kelsey will no doubt “twerk” her way down drive, before striking a pose and flouncing out of the gate one final time. After all… what’s life for if it’s not for living! And getting one up on your sister!
Two different but equally fabulous girls!
If you can offer Romeo, Lilly, Kathleen, or Kelsey a home, please email rehoming@tia-rescue.org and INCLUDE YOUR PHONE NUMBER. Thank you!

Teff hung up his boots in September 2022.
The poor lad didn’t finish his race and we don’t know why it has taken this long for him to surface. Hopefully it won’t be long before a home is found, enough of his life has been spent waiting in the wings. Fair sized lad at 34 kgs and more when we know him a little better.
For now, welcome Teff
Hands up if you buy a coffee from a well-known coffee shop on a regular basis? Or have a weekly glass (or bottle 😉) of wine, pint of beer or sweet treat?
Well how about instead making your own coffee, or skipping one of your weekly glasses… and donating the money to Tia instead? If you aren’t sure your contribution will help, allow us to illustrate…
Last year we estimated that it costs around £1,111 a day to keep Tia running, or £7777 per week.
That’s equal to around;
… we could go on and on.
Tia has around 45,000 followers on Facebook… so if less than 6500 – 15% – of our social media followers gave up just one bag of crisps a week, and instead donated that money to Tia for a full year, we would meet our running costs (with interest!). It would take just 1800 – 4% (!) – of our followers giving up a weekly cappuccino to meet the same figure.
Hopefully we’ve made it clear to you how little of a sacrifice this is; missing one coffee, or one cake, or one glass of wine or a pint won’t make a difference to YOUR life, but your support will make a huge difference to the lives of our beautiful Greyhounds.

If you decide to take part in the challenge, and want to be included on our fundraising calendar, let us know what you are “giving up” and we’ll add you on.
Baby Hilda (now Megan/ Meg) arrived into her new home last weekend. She’s settling in well and already becoming firm friends her new big sister.
We received so many enquiries for this beautiful girl, we could have re-homed her 10x over! We are so grateful to everyone who expressed an interest (there were some amazing offers of homes) but it is such a shame when one dog receives so many enquiries and others receive absolutely none. So our dogs have a request… if the dog you initially enquire about is no longer available, the rest would be so grateful if you could be open-minded and consider giving a home to one of them instead.
Which brings us neatly onto…
If there was a prize for patience, it would go to this guy. Teff last graced a race track in September 2022 and has been patiently waiting ever since. For anyone that needs a hand with the maths, that’s three and a half years!
After all that waiting, Teff could be forgiven for feeling frustrated and fed up. But he’s not. He is simply the most gorgeous, chilled out boy who is great on his lead, loves a cuddle and leaning against you.
Teff will be 7 in August, and we don’t want to see him wait a day longer.
If you have room in your life for this deserving middle aged gent, please email rehoming@tia-rescue.org and PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR PHONE NUMBER. Forever home or short term foster. We ask for a minimum donation of £350 to adopt a Tia hound.
We are totally out of Riaflex and would really appreciate some being sent to us!
All our dogs use this; it helps with the old age pains, and any injuries they may have had.
The best place to buy it from is Riaflex direct. If you are a first time buyer you usually get a 10% discount too.
Our final mention this week goes to sponsor dog Jay, who we lost on Monday.
The sun made an appearance before the vet came, so here he is enjoying his last sunshine with Deb… sleep tight big fella.
Thank you again to everyone who sponsored him over the years.
