 I am so sorry to have report that Poppy hasn’t made it. She was put to sleep this afternoon.
She will be going to Halifax Pet Crem and her ashes will be spread in their woods. Anyone who has been knows what a special place it is. Sleep tight little one…
FURTHER UPDATE…
Poppy has now been in the vets for a week. It has been touch and go on a few occasions, but she is a fighter.
Thanks to you amazing lot out there we have raised £2500 to go towards her vet bill. I have no idea if it will be enough or too much, but as always Donaldson’s vets will do there very best, for us and for her.
Bonus, Wendy one of the veterinary nurses has fallen head over heels so you just have to get better Poppy, you have a fabulous life to look forward to…
Update, Poppy is holding her own so fingers crossed. She has a new name and a new home all being well.
I want to personally thank everyone who has donated….for some reason you don’t always get a thankyou via the website as you should….some do, some don’t.
So a massive thank you to everyone…i will keep you updated on her progress.

It is a disgusting disease, parvo.
Tia Greyhound and Lurcher Rescue, is in fact named after a puppy I rescued whilst in the Police. She had no chance, there were no wonder drugs then. Tia was the name she had for two days before she left…
When a veterinary nurse rang from Donaldson’s, today, back in Huddersfield, I could tell by her voice that she needed help.
This little 10 week old poppet had been taken in to be put to sleep as the owners couldn’t afford the cost of treatment.
The drugs to treat parvo are very expensive so we need 4 things.
Donations towards her vet bill please….a new home when she gets better….lots of fingers crossed….and a name.
Please find URL link to DONATE below
Thanks as always…..Deb
Just in case

Just in case

I’m not gonna lie, the past 18months has been a shocker. With the lack of funds, the move and the never ending sorrow that comes with running a rescue, does sometimes take it’s toll.

But it’s the Rebecca Perkins of this world that makes us stronger. When we moved I think some in the racing industry breathed a sigh of relief.

Well tough, we are working differently but we are still at it and will be until this sorry industry is finished.

It will probably be gone in the next five years and starting from now we need to start finding homes for these redundant athletes.

Just in case, you miss me…. I had the van signed up.

Deb and all at Tia…

Hull Live: Update on Rebecca Perkins

Hull Live: Update on Rebecca Perkins

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.

Rebecca Perkins…..Greyhound trainer at the time.

Rebecca Perkins…..Greyhound trainer at the time.

I cannot tell you how difficult this was to write.
UPDATE.. She was at court yesterday, she thought she would get off, she even left her car in the carpark. Lie after lie, after lie, she told. Very confident to the point of being cocky.
There will be a full press release soon, either today or tomorrow. I don’t know all the details but she got 36 weeks in prison and a ban from keeping animals.
There were just short of 40 greyhounds in the kennels, no food or water, all emaciated, some to the point of collapse, some dead and rotting. ” unable to walk” “dead in kennel decomposing” “couldn’t move lying it’s own faeces and urine”
One greyhound girl, they thought she was dead, she moved but died shortly afterwards.
Numerous had to be put to sleep.
All snippets from the court yesterday.
The ones with even the slightest chance were taken to York rspca. I believe most recovered and have been rehomed.
The governing regulator for the racing industry had been to her kennels the SCI. The stipendary steward visited too before the authorities got involved. I don’t know who went first or what the timescales were. I don’t care.
The truth of the matter is, she is only one of a number of vile greyhound trainers. Yes there are some good ones and even they will be sickened today. But to be fair the majority of them don’t care. With hundreds and hundreds, even thousands of greyhounds backing up in racing kennels there will and have been other cases like this, “the drunk who went on a bender” for example.
Make no mistake, whilst she was feeding her terriers in the house she left the greyhounds in the kennels to die and if someone hadn’t have spoken up, they all would have.
Make no mistake whilst this was happening she was still a licensed GBGB greyhound trainer. They are bleating on one of the forums…..do you what they are saying? Here you go.
WTF story breaking days leading up to the sports biggest night of the year Derby final, GBGB kept asking RPPCA to back up with data why they want the sport banned.
Now they have got some a licensed trainer jailed for animal neglect, with all the so-called regulations and checks put in place by the GBGB.
Now all the decent people in the sport are going to have to put up with all the looks and snide remarks,
While the anti-brigade rattle there cans.
A VERY SORRY OUTCOME FOR THE WHOLE OF GREYHOUND RACING
To recap….they don’t care….it’s the Derby in 3 days.
And this is exactly why this so called sport needs banning.
GBGB you are an absolute disgrace.
Cuddle your dogs tightly, they could have so very easily not been by your side.

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

Sleep Tight Big Girl

Sleep Tight Big Girl

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
