Working to save stray dogs in the North East

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 Home required for Roxy

Roxy is a sweet natured mastiff who just loves everybody, especially if they come bearing treats. She is an older girl who has been used for breeding and she came to us in a very sorry state with both mammary tumours and a large tumour on her head. These have now been removed and despite all this she has remained a happy girl.

Roxy needs to be the only dog in her new home. Given her age Roxy would probably be best in a home with more mature owners. She will come with a Pension Plan meaning all future vet bills will be paid for by SOS.

If you would like to come and meet this lovely girl, please telephone Margaret on 01642 488667 or Lynn 07952 334379 to arrange an appointment.

Clear Plastic Bags Wanted

A plea for clear plastic bags, suitable for putting curtains and bedding in to display in the shop.Please either drop them off at the shop or send them to Gloria Spencer at 20 Rossendale Close, Marske by the Sea, Redcar, TS11 6DT.

Thank You!

We would like to thank Pets at Home, Cleveland Retail Park, Middlesbrough once again for a fantastic cheque for £860.71 for SOS. We sold raffle tickets for them in their store for their own charity Support Adoption for Pets and received a share of the proceeds. We value their continued support of our charity.

Wish Token Appeal 2014

Yes it's that time of year again when we ask all our supporters to collect the Wish Tokens which appear in the Evening Gazette newspaper for us to hopefully win a share of the funds.

You were absolutely amazing last year and collected the most Wish Tokens of any charity so for the first time ever our little charity came first! This year we are hoping to do well again as we always need funds to support our dogs, to rescue them and provide a roof over their heads and to ensure that they get essential veterinary treatment and neutering, in addition to the standard vaccinations and microchipping. Our monthly bills are running between £5,000 to £6,000 every month so we have to have a constant programme of fundraising and appeals to meet this.

Wish Tokens can be posted to our Secretary, Gloria Spencer at 20 Rossendale Close, Marske TS11 6DT, taken into our Save Our Strays charity shop at 129a High Street, Marske TS11 6JX or telephone Gloria 01642 286679 or Lynn 07952 334379 to arrange collection.

Here's hoping!!!

Monthly Meet and Greet

We have finished the Meet and Greets for this year and the next one will be in Spring of next year. If you would like to come and meet one of our dogs please telephone Margaret on 01642 488667 or Lynn 07952 334379.

SOS Charity Shop

Our latest venture in opening a charity shop at 129a High Street, Marske by the Sea TS11 6JX (just a few doors down from Darby's Glass shop) is going very well so far.

We are delighted with all the support you have given us to get this project up and running, we can't do it without you all. We are still looking for regular volunteers to help sort and price up donated items, if you feel you could help us a few hours a week (10 til 1pm or 1pm til 4pm) please either call in the shop and see Margaret or telephone her on 01642 488667.

We are also looking for good quality items to sell including clothing, shoes, accessories, jewellery, DVDs, CDs, books, household items, crockery, bedding, bric a brac, small pieces of furniture and pet items.

The shop is open Monday to Saturday from 10am til 4pm and you are welcome to drop items off directly to the shop. Larger items which are too big for the shop are being sold on our Facebook Save Our Strays selling page.

If transport is an issue please telephone Lynn 07952 334379 or Gloria 01642 286679 to arrange collection/drop off or email us at saveourstrays@hotmail.co.uk
