Welcome To Save Our Strays

Dogs are man's best friend, their love is unconditional so before buying a dog or puppy please consider adopting a rescue dog that needs a new home. On our website you will find a wide variety of dogs and puppies that need a good loving home.

We are small registered charity in the North East of England who depend completely on public donations to rescue unwanted dogs, mainly from the dog pounds. We are all volunteers who are passionate about rescue dogs and every penny raised goes towards their care.

Dogs like me need a new home

Morgan Update

Morgan update. After MRI and CT scans and many other tests, Morgan was finally diagnosed with Hyperadrenocorticism.

He is on medication for life and has to have regular blood tests and monitoring. He is doing well at present and his quality of life has certainly improved.

Thanks to everyone who donated. The total of donations received was £1,900..his bill was £2,400. We couldn’t have provided the treatment he needed without your help.

Dog walkers Wednesdays and Sundays, other days by arrangement.

Fundraisers - could YOU organise an event for us or help out at one of our events?

Now I am loved.

A year ago now
I was all skin and bone,
I was lost and forgotten
on the streets all alone.
