We at Tia Rescue are deeply committed to the well-being and welfare of Greyhounds and Lurchers. It is with a heavy heart that we address a recent incident that has shaken the community. A news article published by Hull Live has brought to light a distressing case involving Rebecca Perkins, a greyhound trainer with 17 years of experience. The article reports on her conviction, imprisonment, and lifetime ban from keeping animals. The severity of the situation reminds us of the continued importance of animal welfare and the critical role we play in rescue and rehabilitation efforts.
According to Hull Live article, inspectors made a shocking discovery at a farm associated with Rebecca Perkins. Tragically, they uncovered deceased dogs on the premises, highlighting the harrowing conditions in which these innocent animals were kept. The details revealed in the case serve as a stark reminder of the ongoing challenges we face in ensuring the safety and well-being of vulnerable animals.
At Tia Rescue, we strive to provide a safe haven and a second chance for Greyhounds and Lurchers who have experienced neglect, abandonment, or mistreatment. Incidents like this reinforce the importance of our mission and the urgency of our work. By rescuing and rehabilitating these magnificent dogs, we aim to counteract the cruelty they may have endured in the past and give them an opportunity to thrive in loving and caring forever homes.
The Rebecca Perkins case serves as a solemn reminder of the ongoing need for vigilance and advocacy when it comes to animal welfare. We encourage everyone to read the full article published by Hull Live to better understand the situation and the challenges faced by organizations like ours. By shedding light on these distressing incidents, we can collectively work towards preventing such acts of cruelty and ensuring the well-being of every Greyhound and Lurcher.

Our lovely supporter Cecilia is doing the Three Peaks Challenge again to raise much needed funds for the new kennel block.
If you can donate, even a little, it will be a massive help. There is no way the dogs are staying in the old barns another winter. Not when we can do this. We have the planning permission, the building warrant, all the internals, the kitchens, the laundry. We just need the building.
Thanks Cecilia….a lot…Deb

UPDATE : I got them mixed up, sorry. Lady is the rough coated one and she is going into a foster home tonight.
Can anyone please foster Sam, the red and white whippet, 6 years old…
These two beauties are in urgent need of foster homes as their owner has died.
They are both fine with children and other dogs but no idea about cats.
They are in Leeds. Please ring me for further details.
Thanks Deb

There’s one less Shire mare snoozing in the sunshine this evening.
Sleep tight beautiful Jessie. The pain had become too great to keep you in this world. But if the kind lady hadn’t told us you had gone to the knacker yard 10 years ago, you would have slipped away then at only 2 years old.
Field ornament? Yes
Loved every minute? Yes
I don’t have the ladies details anymore but thankyou for letting us give Jessie the best life..
Deb and all @ Tia

This is an appeal to everybody and anybody considering adopting a greyhound or anybody who already has a greyhound should SERIOUSLY consider fostering. It’s not something we had really thought of initially although the loss of one of ours made us want to give something back to the greyhounds in kennels due to the amount of love that our Franklin gave us.
We initially started by volunteering/walking retired greyhounds from the racing kennels and it soon became apparent that these were not going to get homes due to people not wanting to take the risk of having a dog that’s never been in a home.
We made the decision to foster the oldest boy in the racing kennels who we have now named Eric and we can quite honestly say it’s such a lovely experience to watch him develop and grow in a home environment and become more and more confident everyday.
It is one of the hardest things we have ever done having another greyhound in the home so quickly after losing the previous one but we felt we needed to give something back. It’s the little things that count with fostering like watching him throw a toy around like a nutter, watching him go upstairs for the first time and go on a bed for the first time. Each greyhound we have met has their own individual silly ways and they are all different but the same in a funny kind of way.
Eric was put up for rehoming whilst in racing kennels along with others for well over a month with no interest!!
The minute he got into a foster home environment numerous people came forward to show interest, which goes to show that fostering clearly works to help them get homes they all deserve.
This would have never have been achieved if we didn’t make the decision to foster him because as sad as it is people don’t want dogs from kennels they want to know they’re good in a home or in rehoming kennels where they have been assessed, so basically once all the hard work is done.
We would seriously recommend fostering to anybody due to the rewards it gives, even if you are working you can make it work even if you have busy lives like us! We both work shifts and long hours and it isn’t an issue. We appreciate that not every dog will settle in immediately and some do take time but you just have to persevere and remember it’s alien to them they have never been in a home before.
We had a conversation with Debs earlier and she has made us realise the importance of fostering and that we need more people to participate and foster, even if it cannot be a long term thing anything to get them into a home environment first before rehoming would help massively. We have proven this with the interest we have had in Eric.
Please come forward and let Debs know if you are willing to help and foster these lovely dogs.
Feel free to talk to ourselves if you have any queries or questions. Thanks.

We have always struggled on this side of things, but we have been pledged £35,000 towards the new kennel block when we start the build.
We are actively getting quotes and we have raised a lot of money from the Brick Appeal.
But we cannot spend it all on the new kennels as we still have to keep this place afloat on a monthly basis.
Is there someone out there who can start applying for grants on a voluntary basis for us?
We have everything to fit it out as everything came up with us.
We really need this new block up for the winter…
Thanks Deb
