Working to save stray dogs in the North East

Golden Oldies

The golden oldies are very important to us

We never turn a needy dog down due to age or because it needs extensive veterinary care. As you can imagine we appreciate all the support we receive. There are a number of ways you can help us carry on giving these wonderful dogs a happy retirement.

Sponsorship

For as little as £1 a week (more if you can afford it) you could help us to support these Golden Oldies. You will receive a certificate and quarterly update on all the golden oldies we have in our care and Christmas card from them in return for your generous support. See some of them below.

Donation

A one off donation, however small, will help us to keep rescuing dogs that have either been abandoned due to their age, health or because their owner sadly died.

How to pay

To make a one-off donation or to join our sponsorship scheme you can either send cheque made payable to ‘Save Our Strays’ to 20 St Germaines Lane Marske - By- The -Sea or set up a standing order with your bank. Our details are ‘Save Our Strays” at Lloyds TSB, (30-97-43) Account Number: 00870054.

Here are some of our wonderful oldies,sadly some have now passed to Rainbow Bridge but they were much loved and cared for whilst with us.We have left them on for you to see and to remember an oldie gives so much in return for your love.

Roxy

This is Roxy who is about 14 years old, she was found with her owner who had sadly been dead for about 4 days. It has been touch and go with her as she had a large mass in her tummy, we decided to give her a chance and she went to the vets to have a hysterectomy, the tumour weighed 6lbs. Roxy is recovering well at the moment, she is with a foster carer and hopefully will have a more happy time, she is very sweet natured and a delight.

We hope she will be able to stay in her foster home and we will pay for all her care.

These are some of our golden oldies we have helped, some of them have now sadly passed on to rainbow bridge but we know they had love and care for their time with us.

Holly and Bess
	The two friendly Labradors Holly and Bess are very settled and happy with their foster mum Jane. It is good to see them looking so well and they both enjoy life. Again thank you so much to Jane. Bess passed to Rainbow Bridge on Monday 7th June.

Maggie
Her Foster family have named her Maggie but we initially named this little collie cross Minnie because we thought of Minnie mouse, she is so sweet. Minnie is an elderly girl and when she came to usher coat was in a terrible condition,during her vet check it was decided to admit her for a few days as she needed to be sedated to shave her fur off and also for a dental to clean her teeth. Her skin was infected and the vet,s opinion is that this was caused by hot fat burns. This little dog must have been in such pain. Minnie is now in her foster home.The burns area is slowly healing but Minnie has to have dressings sewn in to the skin, these need to be changed every three days so Minnie needs to be asleep whilst this is done.This is costly but wonderful Minnie can be helped.Watch for her progress in Desperate Dogs. Because of her ongoing condition Maggie is featured in our Depserate Dogs section under the name of Minnie.   Update May 2010 Minnie is now called Maggie and will stay with wonderful foster mum Jane for the rest of her life. What a change from the poor neglected little dog we rescued from the pound, so badly injured and in so much pain. Now Maggie lives with her other friends and is a happy joyful girl. The charity can never thank Jane enough for taking such good care of our oldies.
