Working to save stray dogs in the North East

Desperate Dogs

We believe that all dogs no matter what their age or state of health should have a chance. Although we appreciate all support given, we sometimes need to ask for a little extra help. Thank you for reading our Desperate Dogs page which will include dogs still waiting for a home.


Dogs Still Waiting - please can you help?

As part of our work dogs are placed in foster homes or boarded at private kennels until they find a new home, sadly there are some dogs for whom finding a new home takes a long time and rather than letting them slip to the back we will include their details here to raise awareness of their plight.

Dogs needing a little extra help.

Amber was the first pregnant bitch rescued from the local pound in 2003,she came to us on a Thursday and on the Saturday produced six puppies who were all rehomed.Once the puppies were weaned Amber went as a foster dog to Margaret Young and her gang. It soon became apparent that Amber had behavior problems which at that time made her difficult to rehome. After many tears and patient training Amber emerged as a semi trained loveable clown!Since that time she has tirelessly helped in the fund raising events for Save our Strays, well known and much loved she is at every street collection and in store tombola,s, she has even learnt to queue at Pets at Home checkout to be given a treat.Amber has been to visit the children at All Saint,s School where she loved the attention.

Just before Christmas Amber was admitted to the vets with neck problems,she was referred to WEAR in Bishop Auckland and after MRI scans it was discovered the 3rd and 4th discs needed urgent surgery,alternatively Amber would have to be put to sleep. After two hours of surgery to repair the discs Amber is home and recovering slowly. Total cost will exceed £2500. The majority of this will be paid for by Margaret but there will be a deficit of about £500. Amber is considered an ambassador and mascot of all S.O.S dogs.

Please can you help by giving a small donation or fund raising for us?
