Calm, steady and walks beautifully alongside his kennelmates.
A gentlemen.

Rehoming News (18th July)
Helena
“Beautiful Helena is a sweet and friendly 4 year old, who has waved both her brothers off to pastures new, and is now patiently waiting her turn.
Helena walks calmly and quietly on her lead and is great with other hounds. Whilst she has not actively met other dogs, Helena has shown no reaction to the other breeds she has seen when out and about. Helena loves her adventures and makes us laugh when she gets in the car, as she likes to have a good roll around on her back before we set off! But once she’s on her way, she lays down and travels really well.
Helena is such a lovely girl and we would expect her to slot quickly in to her new family.”
Marley
Since retiring 15 months ago, Marley hasn’t received a single enquiry.
He is the most beautiful boy. Friendly and calm and great with other hounds. He was an absolute favourite of his trainer and a firm favourite of ours. It so sad to see him still waiting, when all this boy needs is a comfy sofa and someone to look past his colour.
Faith
Update on Faith…
This beautiful 18 month old pup has absolutely flourished in her foster home, and is hardly recognisable as the stunning but skinny stray picked up by the dog warden in early May.
Faith is an inquisitive and energetic girl who loves to play. She would love to find an active home with someone who can continue her basic training. Thanks to her foster family, she already knows her basic commands. She has been great with other dogs and is very loving and affectionate… loves nothing more than snuggling up for cuddles on the sofa at the end of the day.
She is now more than ready to move on to her next chapter.
Dougie
Doc (now Dougie) went to his new home a few weeks ago and has settled in to his new life with his Mum, Dad and Lurcher sister who all adore him! Dougie’s family are regulars at our Pickering Charity Shop, so we are looking forward to lots of visits and updates from him in the future.
We still have lots of beautiful dogs waiting to find their happy ever after like Dougie, for details visit our re-homing page here.
Please call Deb on 07974 960684 if you can offer any of these dogs a home. We request a minimum donation of £350 to adopt one of our dogs.
Domino
Domino
Meet Domino, a sweet-natured lurcher boy with a gentle heart and a big personality! He was found as a stray in Yorkshire but has been living it up with his foster family on the Isle of Skye for the last few months. His age is a bit uncertain but around 2-4 years is the best guess. He’s been neutered, is housetrained, calm around people, and doesn’t do the whole slobbery-licky thing — perfect for anyone who loves affection without the mess. He’s also a brilliant car traveller and isn’t overly food motivated, so you won’t find him raiding the kitchen counters.
But like any character worth knowing, Domino has a few quirks. He’s still learning the ropes when it comes to obedience training and can be a bit boisterous off-lead. He’s also figuring out which dogs he wants to be pals with — he may growl at ones he’s unsure of, so he’ll need careful introductions and confidence-building in this area. He also has a strong prey drive, so a cat-free and sheep-free home is a must.
He settled quickly into foster life but can be a little anxious about being left alone. Building up to short periods apart will be an important part of his ongoing training. With the right guidance and consistent training, Domino has so much potential. He’s a lovable, loyal companion who just needs someone patient and experienced to help him shine.
Ideal home: Pet-free, secure garden, active humans who enjoy training and play.
Dogs for Rehoming
Maura
At 2 years old, Maura is only a baby. Understandably she is a little unsure about being out in the big wide world and needs someone who can reassure her that life after racing is good!
Maura walks nicely on her lead but lacks a bit of confidence, so she mostly stays close beside you or occasionally tucks herself behind your legs. Maura can appear standoffish when you first meet her but once you’ve gained her trust, she really is the sweetest girl who’ll be coming out of her shell in no time once she’s settled in a home.
Kit, Marley, Presley, and Tommy
Kit: 3 years old and an absolute cracker. He loves a fuss and likes being out and about. He loves company so would suit someone who is retired or works from home. Read more here.
Marley: just turned 6. He is a firm favourite with us all. He is great with other hounds and could live happily with male or female Greyhounds. Read more here.
Presley: 5 year old Presley is a super friendly chap who loves attention and adores people. He has lived in a home, is house-trained and walks calmly on his lead. Would prefer to be an only dog. Read more here.
Tommy: a beautiful blue boy and a total legend. He could be forgiven for being a diva but he is actually a lovely, straightforward boy. He turns 6 this month. Read more here.
If you think you could rehome any of these dogs, please call Deb on 07974 960684. We request a minimum donation of £350 to adopt a Tia dog.

Maha
Maha
Russanda Capri 1.3.15 – 9.07.25
Damn. Well, we didn’t expect to lose her so soon. Our girl has left us only weeks after her devastating diagnosis of diabetes. Tia fired back via her twice daily injections, but Maha headed for the bridge a few hours ago. Maha wasn’t alone this morning; Woody was with her in the van to say goodbye, and Deb & Bob. We should give animals more credit, they need to understand why someone has gone..
When Maha arrived at Tia rescue in October 2017, she was afraid of life, needing to spend her paddock time on a lead. Catching her was a morning’s work. Her confidence grew a little along with her waistline and Maha grew to love the kennel staff. She also idolised Woody, her kennel mate; she slept on him, hid from the world behind him, chased and played with him. Woody was her rock, her reason for living. In turn, he has filled his life watching out for her. I don’t know how he will cope.
Maha had all she ever needed in Woody, that and a good feed. It has been a pleasure to watch their devotion over the years. Thanks to all her supporters throughout the years.
Mainly though on this occasion, thanks to Woody for making her time with us so precious…
Monthly Sponsorships (and other news)
Monthly Sponsorships
We are please to once again offer the option of monthly sponsorships for both dogs and horses!
The sponsor dogs are Tia dogs who for various reasons cannot be rehomed (or have not yet found a suitable home that meets their needs). Whilst some may one day be lucky enough to find the perfect home, many are effectively “permanent residents”…. and they all need your help!
These six below are just a fraction of the bunch…
Top (L-R) Bungle, Conrad, and Hubble. Bottom (L-R) Ida, Victor, and Uriah
You can sponsor them for just £4.50 per month. Or for £8.50 you can sponsor their kennel, and have your certificate placed on their kennel for a year.
Your sponsorship helps to pay for their food, treats, vet bills, bedding, and any and all care they may need. And of course, if you are a UK taxpayer, you can gift aid your donation and boost your contribution by 25%, at no extra cost to you. That means a regular sponsorship could be worth £5.60 per month – that’s over £67 per year!

Rehoming
Whilst the sponsor dogs might not be going anywhere fast, we are hoping these lot have other ideas!
These are just some of the dogs who are in search of a new home; you can meet the others here.
If you are interested in rehoming, please get in touch at 07974 960684.
Thank you!
Recent News (27th June 2025)
Maha
When we lost little Jack last Wednesday, we were back at the vets again a few hours later with Maha. She was on a drip for the afternoon and it turns out that after her pancreatitis episode 6 months ago, she is now diabetic.
So from now on she is on a very strict regime. No treats! She is now fed at 8am and 8pm and after each meal she has to have an insulin injection.
You can sponsor and help support Maha’s care here – £52 to sponsor her for a year, or £26 to sponsor her for 6 months.
Thank You Nutriment
We must once again say a huge thank you to Nutriment, who have generously sent Tia 63 cartons of bone broth. I’m sure the dogs will love it, and we really appreciate your continued support.
Coffee Morning
Due to circumstances beyond her control, Avril has had to change the date of her Tia Coffee Morning in Meltham, near Huddersfield. It will now be held on Sat 2nd August. Details will be posted on here and Facebook closer to the day.
Gina
The beautiful Gina has just gone to live with Craddock…what a beautiful pair of dogs.
We have so many other dogs who are also looking for the perfect home – if you are interested in rehoming, please get in touch at 07974 960684.
Thank you.
Faith
Faith
Faith is a fawn saluki lurcher. A bit about her…
“Faith is beautiful inside and out. She is very affectionate and loves to lay on you for a cuddle but she also has an energetic and inquisitive side. Faith has lived with another sighthound and has been great with the children she has met. She is a pleasure to walk and travels well in the car, although might be best crated as she can be curious.“
If you can offer this girl her happy ever after, please call Deb on 07974 960684
