On Sun 1st May, 10am to 4pm, we will be having a fundraising stall at the fantastic Carlton Towers Outdoor Market (DN14 9LZ between Selby and Goole).
We will be selling Tia merchandise, dog related items, and tombolas. Dogs on leads welcome.
There is a parking charge of £3 but entry to market is free.

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
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.

Salacres Benedict 25.7.18
Our stowaway. Thought he was off to Towcester again yet found himself on the Transporter with the rest of the gang. Not before time. Fell out of love with the game and his form has tailed off of late. 5,6,5,6,6,6 says it all. His owners wanted him safe.
He will be. Big lump at 33 kg.
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.
This weekend is the final weekend for rehoming, as when we get to Scotland we will have to wait for a licence before we can start again.
I think it is a really good thing that rescues are licenced, some of them i have been to over the years are disgusting. And that does include ones used by registered charities.
So we will still have to rehome, Elias, Rupert, Malcom, Arlo and Ada…..and Jack & Jill but we have never had an enquiry about them…
Well what a worry this boy is. I know you shouldn’t have favourites but he is, there I’ve said it. Probably because since he came in, one of the Sheffield 13, he has been at the vets a few times. None of his own doing I may add.
He started last year just not being right, bad skin and his hair started growing longer than it should. Numerous tests & treatments later we found out that he has Cushings disease and not just the normal one but the Adrenal bloody tumour type.
He was at the vets the whole last week in March as he had stopped eating, but he doesn’t like the vets and was becoming more and more depressed. So he is back home, on medication. He is getting thinner day by day but he is eating and being spoilt. There is a chicken cooking as i type and Bronia is off to the butchers tomorrow for mince…
He will not go back in the vets, he will be put to sleep at home…lets hope it’s not for a good while yet…
