Sickening but true…The Rehoming Crisis
Look!!
I know some people may not find this very interesting, but here at Tia we think it’s amazing..
We have to wait for 5 weeks for the resin floor, but we can crack on with the rest of the internals…
The dogs WILL be in for Xmas…..
A Pipe Dream
In an ideal world this would be our rehoming centre and the farm here in Scotland would be the sanctuary for all the greyhounds no one else wants.
With the big charities screaming out for a ban and for greyhound racing to be fazed out in the next 5 years where will all the dogs go?
We don’t have assessment tests like other charities and we don’t take the hush money, Greyhound Retirement Scheme bond, like a lot who have jumped on the financial bandwagon..
If anyone wins the lottery please buy it, for Tia…
Week 2
The guys from Nethy steel have worked really hard these last 2 weeks.
The concrete floor will be in this week and then we have to wait a month before the resin can go down. In the meantime the inside of the building will be cladded.
I’m hoping the dogs will be in by Xmas but there will be all the internals, plumbing and electrics to do aswell.
If anyone wants to come up and help please get in touch…We do have a few volunteers pencilled in already.
Thanks Deb
Look!!
Look what happened this week….roll on next week…
It’s brilliant…thanks to everyone who has donated to our brick appeal…it’s the best news ever for the dogs…
Murdok on foster
Murdok has just gone 2 years old.
He had 9 races at Monmore and was disqualified on his last outing in July this year.
He most likely came up here to the last flapping track in Scotland, either that or he miraculously found himself a home…
A month later he was brought to Tia, apparently his new owner had died, yet he still managed to ring a greyhound transporter….clever that.
Samsons Ace, still a baby really wanting a home of his own, preferably with another dog to show him the ropes. He is a little lost at the minute.
Dina
This is little Dina…Don’t let her small frame fool you, she is a little madam.
With 45 races under her belt at Sheffield she now needs an experienced home where she can flourish…

Brick Appeal for the kennel build
We have managed to raise just over £90,000 for the kennel build. The new kennel block was ordered two months ago and has just arrived in the yard. The foundations have been dug and they will start next week. I cannot wait…
We also have a pledge of £35,000 from a grant funding charity and we are selling one of the fields to our neighbour. The dogs will be warm this winter, we don’t want to be reported to the pyjama police again by a disgruntled member of staff…yes really!!!
If you do want to buy a brick to help us raise the rest of the money please go to the website….
Thank you….Deb
