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.
MS PERKINS Update
Woman appears in court charged with causing ‘unnecessary suffering’ to dogs on Yorkshire Coast
A woman has appeared before magistrates in Scarborough accused of causing unnecessary suffering to dogs.
Rebecca Perkins, 41, of Hunmanby Road in Burton Fleming, faces three charges of animal cruelty offences that allegedly took place on a farm where she lives on or before September 21 last year.
She appeared at Scarborough Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday April 18.
Ms Perkins is alleged to have caused unnecessary suffering to the protected animals by failing “to ensure the dogs were provided with veterinary care for the causes of their poor body condition, lameness and sores” and “did not ensure the dogs were provided with a suitable environment which was hygienic”.
Magistrates granted unconditional bail and adjourned the case until May 16, when Ms Perkins is set to enter a plea.
Scarborough News.
THIS AWFUL WOMAN IS AT SCARBOROUGH MAGISTRATES COURT ON TUESDAY 18TH APRIL 2PM.
Whatever they do will never be enough…how the hell do you walk out of kennels, shut the door and not go back? Those poor dogs must have suffered so much…starving to death waiting for someone to come back.
I have been thinking about this for a long time and I can’t keep it under wraps anymore.
When Askern track closed on the 23rd September last year there were over 400 people in attendance. I’m sure there were lots of happy memories and wonderful tales of how it used to be, in the day.
The night however was over shadowed by the absolute horror that a greyhound trainer had walked away from her dogs. She had literally stopped feeding them and left them to die.
This was posted on a greyhound forum…. Local authority stepped in over welfare concerns regarding sheffield trainer rebecca perkins greyhounds, dont know the full details but the gbgb were forced to step in and put the dogs elsewhere, most at sheffield knew she was struggling on her own, why was help not offered to rebecca ? Why did the gbgb stewards not spot the signs during regular visits ? Why did sheffield management fail to offer help ?
The vets where they were taken were horrified, some dogs had to be put to sleep, some needed intensive treatment.
The dogs, I believe were taken in by York rspca and hopefully a prosecution will follow.
I flagged this vile woman up over 20 years ago. This industry will never change. They have had decades to sort out the welfare of their dogs and they simply can’t do it. We are all watching you….

Escape now Eric
Escaped 17/09/2018.
Last raced 02/08/2021.
We have decided to call him Eric.
He is doing extremely well, it is day 3 in his foster home and the progress already from day 1 is immense. It’s been a rocky road for the boy but he’s getting there. He’s been in the bath and had a good scrub up and now he’s all fluffy and smells beautiful.
He’s great in the car (photos attached), great with other dogs, not phased by cats, great with people and just genuinely a sweet loving boy, he’s been clean in the house and sleeps through the night. He likes it at the bottom of the stairs so we put a bed there for him

Essy is being beautiful and is almost ready for her sofa.
Previously known as Westwind Honey. Raced at Towcester. Sweetest little girl, full of happiness and joy just wants a fuss.
She would be ok as an only pet, or with other dogs. She doesn’t pull on the lead, but goes nuts off the lead enjoys zoomies.
Beautiful precious little soul.
