Our heartfelt thanks…
Our heartfelt thanks go out to Erica who i believe had the drone, to the lorry driver, the tractor driver and the greyhound men who caught poor Loki. It could have been a totally different story. I know some people like to slate greyhound men but this is them at their best…
Thanks guys…

An update on Tind…
“We fostered the beautiful Tind for 5 weeks. She quickly settled into home life after a couple of nervous days to start with. She loves nothing more than snoozing in her bed and playing with squeaky toys. She loves meeting new people and munching on apple and carrot. She mastered the stairs really quickly and a couple of commands eg “in your bed”. She likes to have a routine and knows when to go to bed at night – she happily slept in her bed on the landing after getting used to being on her own at night.
She doesn’t need much exercise and was reluctant to walk for more than about 30mins a day, but hopefully this might improve with time once she is settled.
Although she’s happy to greet other medium/large dogs on a walk, she didn’t quite take to smaller dogs or neighbouring cats! She can pull on the lead if she sees any small furries but walks well otherwise and happily wears her muzzle and coat.
She’s a brilliant dog, full of affection and will make a great companion for someone. We really hope she finds her forever home soon”
Loki
When they called me from Askern track a couple of days ago to let me know this little chap had legged it, I was very worried…but the owners spent days and nights trying to find him…then the sightings ran out until this lunchtime…
When they rang me to say he had been spotted only a mile from the track we jumped into action. When we got nearby we feared the worst, the traffic was stopped on the A19…Little did we know that the owner of the dog had stopped all the traffic as he was heading for the road. Thanks to the wagon driver that stopped and to his owner for clambering under the lorry to retrieve said dog…We were mortified as we thought he had been run over, but he hadn’t, he had been caught, much to everyone’s relief…
He is worn out poor lad. He is very sore and battered and bruised. He has had pain relief, antibiotics and a tin of Chappie…..slowly, slowly little man…
Wait for your supper.
Welcome to Tia Loki
Brochan heads to his new home
Aladdin’s Court bn 8.12.2018
A big soft puppy dog, not interested in the slightest about running around a track. His brothers and sisters have all started their racing careers, some have had a good start, others not so.
The owners didn’t know what to do with the big soft lump so they decided to call it a day and rehome him and thankfully he came here. He was only here three weeks and today has gone to live with a good friend.
Brochan she has called him…Gaelic for porridge. Not very fast moving but warming and comforting…
Perfect…
Charity Shops Now Closed
Well here we go again, all our shops and 60% of our income has gone again overnight. Thanks to all our shop staff who had sales and tried to get as much money in as possible over the past few days.
We have had 100 bales of haylage delivered for the horses today and we have 4 pallets of dog food on it’s way. We already have lots and lots of food for the dogs, the only thing we are short of is sardines.
We are sitting tight and just hoping for the best. The calendars are for sale on Ebay as is our other stock stuff, xmas cards, aprons, tea-towels, poo bags, pin badges, hessian bags and rubber leads, so you can always do a bit of online shopping for us.
So it’s the same as always here, the animals still need looking after and that is what we are good at. We have some great staff here at the farm…We currently have 40 horses and 60 dogs to look after and looked after they will be.
We will start rehoming again next weekend, under very strict Covid rules….
Stay safe everyone and look after yourselves and your animals…

FOSTERED – Spiggie
When we get a call from the stray kennels, it’s always a mystery as to how the dogs have ended up there.
This little girl, now called Spiggie, came off one of the usual suspects. Notorious for rehoming/retiring/giving away free to good homes and generally dumping his dogs on anyone who will take them…
They have been exposed so many times for the state of their kennels, they even made the Sunday papers on one occasion.
So now i have his attention…
Tenasywiskytrish bn 12/10/2017 raced at Belle Vue until June of this year…
So when said trainer emailed me a few weeks ago wanting to swap kennels i was speechless really as to his continuing stupidity. I don’t have the words.
He wanted to swap his hovel in Ormskirk, that isn’t worth as much as this place just so he can be nearer to the track he is now racing at, after the closure of Belle Vue..
And just to be clear, she didn’t have an envelope around her neck when she was found straying in Bradford, with the £400 bond from the Greyhound Retirement Scheme…she didn’t qualify for that either…
Welcome to Tia, Spiggie…”Not a Hovel”
SPIGGIE IS NOW FOSTERED
