Don't walk in front of me ~I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me~ I may not lead.
Walk beside me ~And just be my friend.

An escalating number of unvaccinated pets – dogs, cats and rabbits – coupled with the widespread incidence of many infectious diseases revealed by CICADA, has prompted Intervet to launch the first National Vaccination Month (March 2008). 
Central to the success of this major consumer promotion will be a nationally co-ordinated amnesty encouraging owners of unvaccinated dogs, cats and rabbits to have their pets fully vaccinated for the cost of a booster.

Important Information.
Spay/Neuter Policy.

From January 2008 Dogs Trust are discontinuing the scheme whereby all the dogs we rehomed were able to be spayed/ neutered prior to rehoming.

This is a disaster for the many rescues who will be affected by this decision.
Words can not describe how disappointed we are, especially since ALL  the evidence points to the value of such a scheme and to its success in previous years of reducing the number of unwanted litters, stray dogs and the number of dogs being put to sleep.
Our funds simply do not allow us to sterilize all the dogs we rehouse, and so in future this will have to be done on a priority basis and we are currently examining other alternatives.



The Ted Memorial Cup

Wonder dog!

Rescued Jake is honoured for his hard work
A POLICE dog who began life tormented by thugs is now the proud owner of a special award after saving a woman’s life.

Last month, The Journal told how Northumbria Police dog Jake’s saved a woman’s life.
But Jake has now gained formal recognition for his hard work in the anxious search for a 39-year-old woman who went missing from her South Shields home on August 19 – by being awarded a trophy.
The woman was found by Jake unconscious and hidden in deep shrubbery. Staff at the German Shepherd Dog Rescue and Rehoming Centre North-East, which rescued Jake three years ago, were so impressed when they read of his actions they decided to give him the Ted Trophy. The trophy is presented to a deserving dog each year in memory of a former Durham police dog.
Alyson Lockwood from the centre presented Jake with the accolade.
She said Jake came to the centre at seven weeks after being tied to a lamppost and tortured with fireworks.
She said: “We are really pleased Jake has found his niche in life doing something he clearly enjoys and is good at.”
Jake’s handler PC Alistair CairnieCoates added: “I’m really pleased that Jake has been recognised in this way but it is also recognition for all working police dogs and their handlers.”

Fostering
We are limited in the number of dogs we can re-home in the North East  area by the availability of temporary foster homes.

Are you at home during the day? Do you have a secure garden? Do you love dogs? Then why not become a foster home?

Please email us for further details.

Dog food, blankets, towels and bedding always needed.


The Ted Memorial Trophy.

      Each year the Ted Memorial Trophy is presented to the owner of a special Rescue dog. The trophy is given to us by Frank Lucas who has provided this award each year since the death of retired police dog ‘Ted’.
                         Ted was Franks friend and companion for many years until, sadly, he developed the crippling condition of chronic degenerative radiculomyelopathy myleopathy (CDRM ) , which attacks the nervous system.
We are pleased to announce that the “2007 Ted Memorial Trophy” has been awarded to Davie Armitage and his rescue dog Rocky.

                      Davie has worked very hard socialising Rocky with other dogs and we feel he is deserving of the trophy for all his efforts.


How your money is spent:
Kennel costs & food for 1 week= £28.
Spay/neuter = £25.
Vaccinations = £25.
Worming & Deflea treatment = £5.
We also have equipment to replace such as bedding, cages, collars and leads so every donation is desperately needed.
