Well we had only been here 3 days when Uriah let out the scream of death. He had been running around the garden with Lana having a lovely time. I knew straight away what he had done and with the severity of the break I knew the outcome would be the dreaded C word…and it was.
The new vets are thankfully only 10 minutes away and although it was really, really strange and scary not going to Donaldson’s, they were and have been really good.
I have never before had a leg amputated and have generally advised against it. He had been dropping weight and now we know why.
Two days post op, I was wondering if I had done the right thing. Thirteen days post op I know that I did. Even if he only has a few more months it will be worth it. Every minute spent with this boy is a bonus. He is just so lovely, an absolute gentleman who I couldn’t let go just yet…and Lana adores him too they are inseparable…

This little lady came to Tia in 2018 from the council. Another unwanted pony. She is 4/5 years old.
She was rehomed but came back to us just before we moved up here. She was being ridden.
She is so friendly she follows you around like a dog. She will make someone a fantastic pony. We cannot rehome her just yet as we are waiting for our license to come through. But she can be reserved.
Please ring me if you are interested….thanks Deb 07974960684

These were the last of the transporters to arrive at Tia’s new home.
They were amazing and a pleasure to deal with. All the horses were ok apart from my old boy Mac who was traumatised but we had a vet here when they all arrived and he was given pain relief and was fine.
Daisy, Normans mom, had the worst journey, she got herself into a right state. Strong pain relief for a few days and she was fine….they are a worry.

Gillies landed the night before the big move. We were all up at 4.30am to load the horses.
They are by far the best horse transporters i have ever had the pleasure to meet and their wagons were immaculate.

We are holding a volunteer event here at the farm this Sunday the 24th April, between 11am & 3pm.
It is just a small event for people to come and meet us and register as a volunteer.
Whether you want to help on the farm, with the dogs, horses, fundraise, anything that you can think of. We are always open to new ideas.
At the present time we are not in a good position financially and cannot afford to pay lots of staff. So any help will be greatly appreciated.
The kennels won’t be open though, the dogs are not yet up for visitors.
Look forward to meeting you all….Deb
Jun 29, 2020 | Dogs for Rehoming
Adopting a greyhound or lurcher from Tia is the beginning of a long friendship with one of the kindest, gentlest, and quietest dog breeds you will ever find. (They are smart too: which one of you has to go to work to feed the dog….?) Greyhounds and lurchers make wonderful companions as anyone who has adopted one before will be only too keen to tell you… whether you want to know or not!
Adopting one of our dogs is a journey for both you and the dog, but you may not realise that your adoption donation will help all the other dogs here at Tia too.
Before you adopt your new companion, we will have cared for him or her, possibly for many months or even years. The dog will have had a check-up with a vet, they will have been neutered, ‘micro-chipped’, possibly had dental work and will definitely have had lots of feeds! This, of course, all costs money and your adoption donation goes some way to helping us meet these essential expenses which really are never-ending.
Sadly, for various reasons, not all our dogs can be rehomed: perhaps they have health or mobility issues or, occasionally, they are just too nervous to make adoption practical. This means that we will have to find the means to look after our ‘for-ever’ resident dogs for the rest of their lives. Of course, we just love to do that, and we try to make their lives interesting and varied as well as safe, but to do this means that we have to keep funds coming in.
So, when you make your adoption donation, you are not just giving a new home to your new family member, you are helping lots of other Tia dogs as well. Your donation will help pay for staff, vets, accommodation, food and even treats.
It is up to you to decide how much to donate, but we ask for a donation of at least £350 which will help to cover some of the costs of caring for your new dog before she or he decided to let you adopt them. As an animal rescue charity, Tia will be able to claim Gift Aid on your donation (if you are an eligible UK taxpayer) and this makes your donation go even further.
So, thank you from all the dogs and their staff here at Tia for making a home for one of our four-legged friends and for helping to look after all the other dogs both now and for the future. Every penny helps and we all deeply appreciate your kind donation.

Corrigan has been failing for quite a while with many an emergency dash to the vet recently. After much deliberation we made the decision to let him slip through our fingers and spare him the distress of the move. He had undoubtedly had enough.
We quite clearly remember the day he arrived at Moorside, frankly in a bit of a state. Corrigan had fallen amongst thieves and we are leaving his story up on the sponsor page for a few days for those that are interested. A special thanks also to his loyal little gang of sponsors. Please don’t desert us, there are other greyhounds, some of whom have no-one to support them!
He took advantage of the peace and quiet yesterday as many an old man does when the youngsters have left for the pub. Thanks to Chris at Donaldsons once again for making a special trip for us, one of so many over the years, Bob, Chris and Deb all sat outside in the sunshine whilst the old boy fell asleep with his head on Deb’s knee. No fuss, no drama and always with the animals welfare the only priority.
Let’s remember Corrigan at his best, a breathtakingly beautiful athlete, a beautiful sheen on his blue coat and running for his own pleasure. We loved him and we will miss him. See you on the bridge kid.
