James & Kiah
Are they tiny dogs or is it a huge paddock??
Little Jack…available for sponsor
Little Jack.
He’s 11yrs old now…when he arrived at Tia 8 years ago he was nearly dead. He was so thin and poorly with kennel cough from the stray kennel. He was rehomed once but he is a nightmare with other dogs and it didn’t last long.
I did take him to Fraisthorpe beach once, have a nice day out I thought….The least said about that the better.
He loves it when Kenzie comes to stay and takes him in the caravan. He is a lovely little lad, happy with his lot…
10 Years Ago
Ten years ago….thanks Jo & Caroline, I had forgotten about that…
And we are still out there, trying to raise money for these beautiful dogs..
Just back from a great weekend at Whitby Goth weekend. Shattered but happy and really pleased about money raised for Tia Greyhound Rescue. Great event. Met some lovely people…thanks to all for making us feel really welcome….
Phillip
Phillip needs a Foster home and he needs it now. He is a big soft lad who is literally wasting away in kennels. He has some health problems but is on medication and is expected to make a full recovery. He is down to 26kilos. He is one unhappy dog who just wants to get on your knee for cuddles.
Transport can be arranged.
Thanks Deb

Phillip.
So we have found out that not only did he have giardia when he came to Tia but campylobacter too. No wonder he is like a hat rack. He is on his second round of medications so let’s hope this and a special diet will sort him out. This food is amazing but it’s over £50 a bag. Thanks to you showing your loyalty cards at Pets at Home we have just had a voucher through and have bought him 2 bags and some tins.
Thanks everyone.
Let’s get this big soft lad sorted. He really isn’t happy in kennels, he just wants to get on your knee for cuddles..
And Breathe
We have finally got an interim payment from my friends legacy. It won’t build a new kennel block but it will keep us afloat in the short term.
The good thing is, we have never owed anyone a penny. With the sale of mine and Bob’s house we have managed to keep going. That wasn’t easy, not easy at all.
We just need to figure out how to keep money coming in on a regular basis. It won’t be any more Charity shops, sadly.
Judi who runs the sponsorship scheme, voluntary, is doing an amazing job and Emma from the Pickering shop has opened up the Ebay shop and she will be running it, as well as the Charity shop. Jo runs the Tia Lottery, also voluntary and that fetches a regular income in monthly.
We do have some stalls coming up in the future and thanks to our loyal fundraisers and supporters who can see the bigger picture and haven’t turned their backs on Tia, in our worst ever time of need.
Thank you from all the sponsor dogs, the dogs waiting for homes, the dogs we are taking from the stray kennels and the dogs we are rehoming direct from trainers. Special thanks to Manda & Nat from Northern Greyhound Rescue who helped us out with all the allotment dogs and who also took all the dogs from the shed in Bradford. The are still Independent, like us, and wouldn’t take the blood money from the Greyhound Retirement Scheme.
It is still business as usual, just in a different way. We have just had to adapt, like everyone and thankfully we are still here.
Thank you….a lot…Deb

Sylvester
UPDATE Sylvester has been at Tia exactly a year today, 7th April. He hasn’t had one enquiry. No he can’t live with cats or other breeds of dogs, but he’s not going to get any better living in kennels. He needs a chance, an experienced greyhound home. He will be 5 years old in September and really doesn’t need to become a sponsor dog…
Sylvester came up here with Brendan at the beginning of April, after his trainer sadly died.
Jimmy Middleton, one of the first greyhound men I ever met. He didn’t like me much but he knew I was good at rehoming greyhounds.
Farran Addidas was his racing name bn 6/8/2019
He raced at Askern so we know nothing of his racing history.
Sylvester has now lost his yellow stains and is a beautiful, happy, bouncy black & white boy.
Brendan
This is Brendan, He is a lovely dog wanting his own sofa…He came up from Yorkshire last week with Sylvester.
Their owner, Jimmy Middleton, greyhound man, has sadly passed away. He was one of the first trainers I ever met at Askern.
