Anton (Emers Anton)
born August 2022
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.

Aaron (Abigails Aaron)
born July 2023
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!

Romeo
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.
Lilly
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.
Kathleen and Kelsey (the “Snooty sisters”)
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!

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;
- 6500 bags of crisps @ £1.20 each, or
- 4200 bars of chocolate @ £1.85 each, or
- 2500 brownies @ £3.10 each, or
- 1800 cappuccinos @ £4.40 each
… 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.

Hilda
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…
Teff
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.
Riaflex
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.
Jay
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.

born 14th August 2021

Romeo is a fabulous boy who has made huge progress in a few short weeks. He will be a wonderful addition to someone’s life.”
A mercifully brief career. Romeo saw a bit of Ireland for a couple of months and then headed across the sea to Doncaster. Nine months start to finish, Romeo troubled the judge on only two occasions. Romeo was 33kgs of rippling muscle, dad being Droopys Sydney. Neither of which prevented having his *** handed to him by a slip of a girl 18 month ago. Our very own Maggie (Redbrick Bounty) thrashed him 6 1/2 lengths and he has only just recovered from the embarrassment. Been comfort eating ever since as he now tips the scales at 38 kgs.
Romeo needs love, a lot of it together with a big sofa. The big oaf is rather needy and we are looking for a special home. A retired person prepared to hold his paw and tell him it’s the taking part that counts would be preferable.
There is an outstanding dog in this crushed soul somewhere. Needs a quiet steady home to bring it out.

Jay (Jayvees Star) came to Tia back in 2018.
Also known as Lumina Scot, we dug out a clip of him coming second… he wasn’t a bad racer to be fair, with 17 wins to his credit.
But, as far as he was concerned, life began when he came up the drive.
We tried a few rehomings, but some racers prefer the routine of a kennels. He relished the coming and goings of the place. The curtain twitcher of the kennels, he was always up on his paws, watching the new dogs arriving and saying farewell to the lucky leavers. He knew where he was best off though.
A 35 kilo lump, Jay occasionally needed to bunk up for some pretty little girl, which made his day as long as it wasn’t for ever.
Jay loved the staff, the food and the occasional saunter around the paddocks. Old age doesn’t come alone, and he lately developed difficulties with his breathing which slowed him down a bit.
Never any trouble, part of the fabric nonetheless. We loved him and we shall miss him.
Thank you to everyone who has sponsored Jay over the years.

George (Snooty George)
born Jan 2020
Could have been a contender. A fast dog but kept picking up niggling injuries when it mattered most. George decided to concentrate on his career as minder of his three sisters reputation and at 37 kgs who was going to take him on.
This is a super dog. Calm friendly, loves walks and playing with his toys. He is an absolute prize and should have in a home years ago. No drama, just kind and wants to take up the gentle art of roaching.

Woody and Jay
Woody isn’t good. The weight is just dropping off him. The steroids are working but we don’t think he has long.
Then on Wednesday we had to rush Jay to the vets, most likely cancer as well. He is now in the holiday cottage, on meds but he’s not eating much and he threw it all up last night.
Didn’t see that one coming…
A huge thank you to those of you who sponsor Woody and Jay.

New Dogs
All the sixes! 6 new dogs… who are all 6 years old! All are gorgeous; all are black; and all of them are long overdue a family of their own.
(Lilly would like to point out that she is actually only 5, although very nearly 6!)
Welcome Kathleen, George, Lilly, Teff, Arthur, and Kelsey…
Mason
Mason is still looking for a foster or forever home in Scotland! We also have Miller and Jim both looking for their families with our Scottish supporters.
Cedric
Cedric is a 2 year old male Lurcher who has been in foster for the past few months. He is a lovely boy and, after being picked up as a stray, he now needs a stable forever home where he can feel comfortable and secure.
Cedric loves cuddles, the sofa (of course!) and to snuggle under the duvet. In his own bed, he likes you to cover him with a duvet and tuck him up for the night. Cedric is house-trained and will let you know when he needs to go out. Cedric likes to play “fetch” with a ball, Kong and his octopus. He understands the command “leave” so you can throw it again and he can sit and give a paw for a treat. Cedric seems to be a quick learner & receptive to training and likes to be praised for being a good boy!
Cedric does like to be with his people as much as possible and can get anxious and howl when left alone but does settle in the company of other dogs. He would benefit from being rehomed with a calm female dog/sighthound and adopters who are around most of the time. Cedric is comfortable in the company of dogs he is familiar with but can become anxious/frustrated when he sees unfamiliar dogs. This is improving but is work in progress and Cedric needs adopters with time and patience to help him continue to gain confidence.
Cedric is very smart and willing to learn and with a family committed to continuing his training, we expect his confidence around other dogs would quickly improve.
Please get in touch if you can offer any of these beauties a forever or short term foster home at rehoming@tia-rescue.org and PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR PHONE NUMBER.
We request a minimum donation of £350 to adopt a Tia hound.
Romeo
Romeo’s month got off to a great start when he was collected from kennels by one of our fabulous short term foster families!
He had chicken dinner for his tea and a settled first night. And, as you can see, he looks pretty content with the new arrangements! Romeo is soon to be neutered and will then be ready to find his forever family.

Volunteers Wanted
In our 30th Anniversary year, our focus is firmly on the future. The old-school approach of large-scale kenneling is simply no longer viable, so recently we have been rehoming dogs directly into foster or permanent homes, which has worked very well. With Easter Hardmuir Farm now operating largely as a sanctuary, the decision has been made to find a smaller base in Yorkshire where the need for rehoming these dogs is still a massive problem. A small kennel will suffice for emergencies.
It is so important that Tia carries on, and that this next phase is a success. So, we are looking for volunteers!
Short-Term Fosters
Imagine how strange a home must seem to a Greyhound who has only ever known life in a kennel. Short-term foster provides a stepping stone between racing and adoption, giving our dogs the opportunity to adjust and settle into their new way of life and enables them to recover from essential veterinary care (such as neutering and dentals) in a safe and loving environment.
Madeline, Maura (L), and Jim (L), in foster
If you love sighthounds, live within travelling distance of a Donaldson’s Vets branch, then maybe you’d like to become a short-term foster for a Tia hound?
Have a read about fostering here, and if you are interested please get in touch at rehoming@tia-rescue.org.
Trustees
We are also looking for new trustees to play a “hands on” role in supporting us in our work down in Yorkshire.
You will need to be able to commit to regular meetings, mostly online; work on projects outside of meetings; and, most importantly, be a team player. We welcome applicants from a range of backgrounds, and will provide support to help new trustees in their role.
Have a read more about the role of a trustee here; if you are enthusiastic about what we do, and feel you can contribute to the success of Tia, please get in touch at info@tia-rescue.org.

Foster Home Needed
Speaking of foster homes… this guy needs one!
Mason was one of the two that came up a few weeks ago, with Miller; both strays from Barnsley.
He is a lovely big dog who needs to see the outside world and be shown that he is a very much loved pet dog. He is very thin. He loves cuddles…
He does this outside too, just in bigger circles…
Crockett – now Lennie – was the same, and he now has a wonderful home up in Thurso.
You can read a little bit more about Mason here, and in last weeks news story. If you can offer him a short-term foster home, please get in touch at rehoming@tia-rescue.org. Thank you!
Woodland
We have had the woodland thinned out, and have had a voluntary team out already to have a sort out. It is going to take days and days though.
Any firms needing a team building exercise please get in touch… it will be beautiful once its sorted.
