Welcome to Tia Logie!
We have 22 dogs here for rehoming at the minute....obviously that doesn't include the other 40, the sponsor dogs and the naughty dogs...We don't know a massive amount about them as they haven't been here long...and funnily enough not 1 of them qualified for the £400...
Matilda 01/04/2008 – 07/09/2020
It’s very sad but we had to say our goodbyes to Matilda on Monday evening, peacefully, with the help of a great vet and her humans at her side. Osteosarcoma is nasty and aggressive and even Matilda with all her determination and stoicism could only fight it for a...

Glencoe
Don't bother getting in touch. He isn't going anywhere for the moment. Glencoe is one of the most magnificent greyhounds to pass our threshold in a very long time. We keep going to check on him! Just to see if he needs anything you understand. Like a sardine or a...
The Brothers
If a vision of Kate O'Mara has just flashed before your eyes, have a lie down. That was 1972! We mean our brothers. Mr Mole, Terence, Bungle, and Eugene. Thanks everyone who has tried to break down their walls and made daft soothing soppy noises. As you can tell from...
‘Friday Shane’, RIP
Shane slipped through our fingers yesterday surrounded by professionals making daft soppy noises. Smoothing his path to the bridge were some very old friends. Kenzie who has worshiped him for four years and also a previous love, our very own Becca. Becca knew him from...
Bracing ourselves…
Corrigan AKA Colin, Captain Cook bn 26.03.10 He had 84 races at Belle Vue and came to us as in a right state in June 2014. Bob showed a surprising pair of heels that day. Read Corrigan's sponsor page, "a take him or else" ultimatum. Shane, Friday's Shane just a year...
Foster update: Rafford (‘Rafa’)
News from Rafa’s foster home... Rafa is a stunning boy, beautiful from tip to toe. He’s been with us for 2 weeks, coming directly from kennels into his first home environment. Apparently he’s an accomplished racer, but you’d never know as he is such a loving home boy....
Mo
Here is the lovely Mo enjoying the cooler weather. She came to us just over four years ago... I remember driving back to the farm from the stray kennel in Doncaster. We were coming through a built up area and she saw a small dog being walked on a lead at the roadside....
Rehoming update: Torre
Torre has been adopted by Helen and Paul, and they've provided us with an update on how she's doing: We just thought we'd drop you a quick mail to say how lovely Torre has been and how well she is settling in. We both absolutely adore her and she has quickly become a...
Adopting a Tia dog: Adoption donation
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...
A Tale of Two Doves
A few weeks ago two baby doves were born. A beautiful white fan tail dove in the beautiful purpose built dove cote. She has a big family in the beautiful dove cote but was being picked on by some of the older ones. She sought refuge on the top of the house. Meanwhile...

Sheffield 13
UDATE 20th December 2020... Who can believe that this was almost a year ago...these are the dogs that broke my heart into tiny pieces. Not because we couldn't fix them, i knew we could. But the state that they had been in for so many years, so much neglect and...
Thanks everyone
I want to thank everyone for inquiring about rehoming. We hold our hands up, we are behind in our responses and the reception is a bloody nightmare here anyway. We have to concentrate on Thomas at the moment, more on him later. Can we ask that all enquiries are sent...
Sixty-nine!
Sixty Nine!! That is the number of Tia dogs that have gone up the drive into temporary or permanent homes, in the last 9 weeks. We shouldn't crow, it's not nice, but lets give credit where it is due. You lot out there, our fantastic supporters who overlook our many...
Great News
Great News Mr Mole and all the Tia sponsor dogs would like to say a big thank you to all the wonderful supporters who have Sponsored a Tia hound. In April we had an amazing 60 new sponsors which is fantastic news for Tia, especially at this difficult time, having had...
It’s like the Marie Celeste……
It's like the Marie Celeste...... ..or Flannon flaming Isle. That'll take a few of us back. Whilst there is no chance of an untouched meal around here, an over-toppled chair would not look out of place. A walk around the blocks last night doing checks revealed how...
If you need help
Thanks to the generosity of our fantastic followers we actually have a few spare kennels. If any of our owners are in trouble (hospital, strict isolation, NHS workers etc) and need the dogs out and safe please ring me. We have two in already due to this crisis. Tia...
Every kennel has a backlog of dogs that aren’t going anywhere
We are seeing a few straws in the wind regarding some trainers throwing in the towel. One guy we have known for years, he has stoutly defended us from the day we started. He has stood between a freezer and a rival trainers dumped racer on countless occasions. If he...
Sir Henry, ex-Tia Shire in his new working home
We love having updates on the horses and ponies in their new homes. This is Sir Henry who was adopted back in February with William where they both joined the Royal Park Shires team over in London. Think it's safe to say Henry has found his feet and loving his new...

Hi: My name’s Jack
Hi: My name’s Jack I’m told that I can be a bit ‘energetic’ at times, but that’s just because I’m usually full of life. But just at the moment, I’m feeling pretty sad as are most of my doggy and horse friends. You see, the humans around here try their best to keep us...
Writer’s block
As some of you may know we have been causing trouble for 25 years. We could fill a three-volume novel with the tales of our past endeavours and exploits. Frankly we sailed a bit too close to the wind on occasion. Anyone remember why Jason ended up in the dock? The...
The Dog With No Bark
Farewell to a much loved beautiful greyhound girl, and a wonderful greyhound ambassador. Lupe was ‘ Iris’s Diamond’ on the Tia ‘Wall of Shame’. An emaciated stray, she came to Tia at Moorside Farm in Oct 2007. I adopted her in Feb 2008, when she was still only 2 years...
Croick. He was Not even named
He was not even named Can you donate towards his care and show him we do care His name is now Croick. It is difficult to embellish the profile of a dog that nobody could be bothered to even name. He came into the world on 20.07 2017 and broke the Tia record for...
Time to bag up that clutter
As you all stay safe at home we know many of you are keeping yourselves busy clearing out wardrobes and cupboards and having declutters in garages and sheds. Please keep all your much-needed donations bagged and ready to drop into your local shop or at the farm when...
RIP HARRIS
To a lot of folks (some quite normal), sadness over a loss of an animal is incomprehensible, particularly at this time. However, we feel sure that our supporters will feel some empathy with us. Harris (Stepaside Elvis) slipped through our fingers yesterday and went...
Rogart – the ruthlessness of racing
The ruthlessness of this industry. Meet 'Lazy Game', now known as Rogart, whelped in 2015. He's been around. This 30 kilo racer is the type that greyhound racing depends on. Standing dish at Romford, he has also screamed around Perry Barr, Harlow, Monmore and the...
Please sponsor Mr Moles care at Tia Rescue
When the Sheffield 13 arrived at Tia Rescue, they were neglected and damaged. Wrecked emotionally and physically. Some are on their journey to recovery. This video is day 1 We have three beautiful brothers that may never be homed, at this time they are too broken....
Myrtle… relaxing while the sun shines

Call for help if you’ve previously adopted from Tia…
With all the madness that is going on we have had to reduce staff here at the farm. I will do a full update later, but if any of our previous adopters would like to foster a dog it will be massively appreciated..... These 6 came in this week and i am hoping that we...

Country-wide dog vomiting outbreak

Abandoned Greyhound Barnsley
If there is a God Tia has offended him because we seem to be constantly overwhelmed with walking hat racks of late. Frankly, our conviction that we are seeing something seismic in the industry is growing. Far too many chuck outs in a brief space of time.
Please Donate to help abandoned Greyhound Dot
Update from Donaldson's Vets. Dot is brighter today, she has had no more vomiting. She is still on a drip and antibiotics. She is a bit brighter and is eating. Fingers crossed for this old girl... My heart is breaking tonight. Over 12 yrs old. She has been in this...

Right, we are not happy.
We expect to see a dog in this state coming off the flapping track or from a pound, not from a registered trainer. In fairness, the transporter and the GBGB aren't happy either, the former blazing, the latter arrived within the hour after our phone call. This little...
Petal: Tia’s very own luvvie
Perhaps some of you saw 'Vera' last night based at Sunderland Stadium. Maybe you recall our Petal, found straying in the Leeds area just a few weeks after her sister Elvira was discovered in the same area. Petal is now in a loving home but before she left us without a...
Absent friends 2019
It is a bit late perhaps - the calendar says its the 20th - but Tia always likes to say goodbye properly to those who are now waiting on the Rainbow Bridge. (God, I hope there is one) Chester and Millie. They sure as hell are not on the bridge as their Dad had been...
The back-room boys & girls
Forgive us, we have been run off our slingbacks these past few weeks. Having our hands full with the Sheffield 13, our focus has slipped a bit regarding our manners. We'll address that now. I would like to personally thank all of our volunteers for their unfailing...

Sheffield 13 update: Winnie goes into foster
Winnie is the first of the Sheffield 13 well enough to go into a foster home. Here she is last week being picked up... onwards and upwards girl.
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times”

The Sheffield 13: Update on rescued greyhounds

It is a disgrace. GBGB
I don't very often get involved publicly with this stuff. But the Heaton's kennels are beyond belief. They have been "looking after" greyhounds like this for the past 24yrs that I know of. I have no idea how long they have been racing greyhounds. I have had a lot of...
