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

Urgent Foster / Permanent Foster Home Needed - Bella
No vets bills - they will be paid for by Save our Strays. Bella is a very friendly 4 year old
staffy cross brilliant with people not so good with other dogs initially
although ok if properly introduced. She is better with submissive male dogs. Bella is becoming
stressed in kennels now as she's been there for a while and just wants to be in
her own forever home again. Bella loves her walks and loves human company and
being spoilt.
If you can help Bella please contact Margaret on 01642 488667 or Lynn 07952 334379 or pop up to our Meet and Greet Sunday's 11 til 1230 X

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