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

Stokesley Charity Bike Ride - Sunday 13th May

Many thanks to Paul and Graeme Mackintosh for all their hard work in organising this charity bike ride, all the marshalls and others who helped out on the day and the cyclists who took part.

We really appreciate being chosen for this years charity and the amazing amount raised from entry fees and sponsorship will make a real difference for our small charity. We will update with the final total raised when all monies are in.

Update - Monies raised so far from this have already exceeded £3,000 we will post the final figure when all funds are in. We can’t thank Paul and Graeme enough for their efforts on behalf of our charity, this has made a real difference to us.

Morgan Update

Sadly Morgan recently went to Rainbow Bridge but knew love and affection right to the end, thanks to Margaret.

He was a big friendly unique boy who is sadly missed.

Thank you to everyone who donated towards his treatment and medications.

Now I am loved.

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