William, a former Tia shire house, was rehomed to Operation Centaur – an organisation setup to promote horses as a contemporary working animal partnering with humans. This is usually in the form of heritage skills in conservation and agriculture, transportation, discovery, learning and therapy. Humans and horses alike work together sustainably, mainly in the privileged spaces of London’s Royal Parks and Historic Royal Palaces.
William can be seen in the video below preparing the soil at the Tower of London for the Moat in Bloom this summer!

He’s not well, my boy. I cant put my finger on it and he’s had blood tests that were all normal. He just not that interested in his food. A bit of this, a bit of that.
He must be at least 12 years old and despite rehoming 4 times he always wanted to come back to Tia. He was half dead mind when we got him in June 2018, chucked out of van in Doncaster. It was that really hot summer. He lived in the vet room for weeks. He loved it. Quiet and peaceful, the only visitors fetching food. He’s not well my boy, just can’t put my finger on it. He just looks a bit sad.

For those of you who bought a calendar this was on the back page. When I was writing it in July last year I had hoped by now we would be in a better place financially. We still haven’t received the legacy, although the solicitors have promised we will get some of it today. It is nearly two years since my friend died and she would have been furious if she’d have known it would have taken so long.
To date the Charity owes me and Bob around £50,000 which we have loaned the Charity.
We have always had to subsidies the Charity, as have a few good friends. I can’t remember the last time we had a day off, it’ll be over 18 months ago. One of my good friends told me that if me and Bob didn’t work all the hours we do the Charity wouldn’t have ever been financially viable. We’ve always done it, for the animals, but I’m not going to lie, I’m getting very tired of all the hassle, the grief and the begging….

Hello
I’m looking to re home a little lurcher.
She came to be with me because she was dumped in the middle of the night next to the A1 near Pontefract. I live on a farm next to the A1 she came up to the house and woke us all up crying. Actually scared me have to death in the middle of the night. I thought it was wild foxes. She was picked up by the dog warden and taken to a local kennels and held to see if she had an owner.
Nobody came forward. We decided to try re home her. She was in bad shape no fur on her bottom missing teeth and sadly got kennel cough from the kennels. I’ve had her checked at the vets and treated for the cough.
Sadly it’s not working out. I have two dogs already both from the same litter and they are just not happy. One attacked her last week luckily she’s fine. Now I’ve rang a few places for see if they can help with no luck. I’d really like to avoid her going in kennels she didn’t do well when she was in kennels before.
I’d really appreciate some help. I really want this dog to have a lovely family. She deserves a lovely family. She’s scared and very timid with people and noise. The vet thinks she’s age 3 to 4.

When Wilbur came to us from the allotment in August last year, he was well and truly lost. With strap marks around his nose and the look in his eyes, it was clear he hadn’t had a good time. They still use strap muzzles, although they aren’t supposed to. They stop the dogs barking as their mouths are strapped shut.
Fairly useless as racing too with only 8 races under his belt at Nottingham. He was racing at Askern for almost a year before it closed.
He has never barked here and he sits patiently in his kennel watching everything that is going on around him. I took him to the beach on Saturday to see where we are up to with this gorgeous boy. At first he was just staring at everything, the dogs in the distance, the sea, the birds.
A dog off the lead came up to him, he saw her off, much to the owners dismay. But if you are going to let your dog come up to a greyhound, on a lead, with a muzzle on what do you expect.
We only did a short walk and at the end of it he was a shaking wreck. He jumped back in the van and couldn’t wait to get back into the kennels.
Wilbur is a strong dog, a lost dog who doesn’t know what he is supposed to be doing. That is the sad thing of what they do to these beautiful creatures.
Wilbur needs a home with a greyhound girl to show him the ropes. No he isn’t perfect, no he wouldn’t pass an assessment test. But with the right people and a lot of tlc, he will make someone a cracking dog. If not, he will learn to love the beach…Deb
