Our first viewing day of 2010.

We will be at Saltburn Bandstand on Saturday 30th January 10-12am for you to come along and see the different dogs who all need loving homes. We have several good natured greyhounds and lurchers,crossbreeds large and small and three adorable staffie puppies. There will be refreshments and a tombola. Have a talk to the volunteers who will be able to help, take a dog for a walk. Dogs give us so much in return when in a caring home. Any queries please ring Jenny on 01287 619422.

Pets at Home and Evening Gazette photo shoot.

This morning our volunteers took several dogs to Pets at Home on the Skippers Lane Estate.Middlesbrough. All the dogs need homes and will be featured in the Evening Gazette. Shown are Foxy the terrier with a cozy warm coat and Bear the Rottweiler in a very smart tartan coat. Blackie our happy greyhound and Clooney our deaf white crossbreed also wore great coats. All the coats have been donated to us by the store for which we would like to say a huge thank you.

Pets At Home

A big thank you to Pets At Home, Skippers Lane for their very generous donation of £5,000.00

Pets at home event 2009

All our dogs, for a set donation, come neutered, vaccinated, wormed and micro-chipped. Once we carry out a successful home check you then take your new family member home for a trial period to make sure both you, and the dog, are happy together. Adopters must realise a dog is a rewarding but life time commitment and that your new dog make take quite a few months to settle into their new home, given some have a traumatic past. However, the unconditional love you get in return cannot be bettered.
