With so many old dogs in the kennels we do have a lot of dental issues.
Chris from Donaldson’s vets sorted them all out, in our own vet room, sulk, before we moved up here. I don’t know what I miss more, the vet room or making bacon butties, for Chris & Becca every Thursday, when they came to the farm.
We do use Moray Coast vets now who are really good…
I don’t really want them having operations though, unless they really need it. So I found Lisa on Facebook. She came out last week and it will be a regular fortnightly visit. She is great with the dogs. Jack wasn’t impressed, but the others were fine. Tinkerbell absolutely loved it….Thanks Lisa.
Sorry Victor, you are off to the vets next week…

Sponsor dogs Uriah & Lana
No words needed…Deb
A massive thanks to all our supporters.
Whilst the temporary kennels are not up to our high standards, the dogs don’t know.
They have at least two meals a day, clean comfy beds and freshly cooked sausages or sausage rolls for supper, heating on overnight, staff & volunteers who love them to bits and they are safe.
We have 34 dogs here, 15 are over 10 years old and they are loved every minute of every day.
Thank you to everyone who sponsors, whether it is a dog, a kennel, or just by sending food.
Thank you….Deb
ps we will get there…
Home Found…
The amazing Olive (AKA Olly Pop) has been in foster with us for a couple of months. This amazing girl had a rough time. We picked her up from the pound when her time was up – scared, clueless and starving after spending quite a while on the streets. Olive has made massive amounts of progress and is improving every day. She responds to calm, positive but firm guidance and this has helped her to feel safe and learn how to be a dog. She’s pretty good with other dogs she meets and our two have really helped her learn how to play (she has been living with another grey and a lab). She sleeps through the night, no longer needing a crate. She’s pretty much house trained, walks well on a lead and is fine off lead with quite impressive recall – especially if you have a treat! Olive absolutely loves being around people and has been helping my partner, a therapist, out at work, calming those she meets. She has learnt not to jump up and there is absolutely no malice in her whatsoever. Her desire for food at any cost has also reduced massively. We only feed her three times a day now, putting her bowl down and asking her to wait. She has finally realised that she gets fed and no longer eat anything she can get into!! She’s very clever and has learnt to wait at gates with the other dogs only going through when her name is called! Olive will make the most loving companion for someone – I don’t think I’ve ever met a dog with such a big

A thankyou from America
I’m not gonna lie sometimes the bloody awful cruelty/indifference that comes with the racing industry can get you get you down and then you get an email like this, which is just wonderful.
Hello Deb,
Though I’m sure you won’t remember us, I thought you might remember our precious boy, Blaise (spelled Blaze at Tia) that we adopted from in 2018. Seeing as how many dogs are in your care at any given time, even if you don’t remember him that is just fine! As I often check the Tia website and read your news bulletins, I thought it might bring you and the staff at Tia some joy to read a little update about our sweet boy! My husband and I were living in North Yorkshire when we adopted Blaise and after a couple more wonderful years in the UK, the three of us moved home to Colorado in the U.S., where we have been ever since. From the moment we adopted Blaise, we instantly fell in love with him and we love him more and more everyday. He is goofy, sweet, and stubborn! Blaise has settled into his life in the U.S. very well. He absolutely loves car rides (he’ll sleep, roaching upside down in the back seat while we drive), ice cream, and his daily walks three times a day during which he has to sniff every tree he comes in contact with . He has such a special bond with my husband and the two are thick as thieves. About two years ago, we adopted his brother, George a big black and white greyhound and the two of them together are so much fun.
Blaise is about to celebrate his 10th Birthday in April and he hasn’t slowed down one bit!
Since adopting Blaise, my passion for greyhounds has only grown. I am in such awe of their gentle nature and their resiliency. With the horrid treatment they face on a daily basis, greyhound and galgo rescues such as Tia are so important and I have the utmost respect for the work you do to save and care for these majestic creatures.
Overall, I just wanted to thank you for rescuing Blaise. Our lives wouldn’t be the same without him! I have attached some pictures of Blaise and George.
