Stray Aid is a registered charity, Charity No. 1117372, based in Coxhoe, Durham. Our aim is to provide practical help and information on stray, lost or abandoned dogs and cats across County Durham.
If you have lost or found an animal then check the "Advice" section for helpful information and useful telephone numbers.
If you are looking for your dog and you think it may have been collected by a dog warden, please check to see if its photograph appears in the "Strays" section.
The Rehoming Centre is open 10am - 6pm seven days a week. The dogs are not available for viewing after 6pm in summer or dusk in winter, whichever is earlier. If you are visiting in the hope of finding a new pet please help us out by printing out and filling in this form.
Stray Aid Kennels, Coxhoe, are open between 8am and 10pm, seven days a week.
Stray Aid Kennels, Coxhoe, are closed to the public between 10pm and 8am. Please note, our security team will not take in dogs from the public, return dogs from our council dog pound, or rehome dogs during these hours.
For further information on how to get the best from the services Stray Aid has to offer, please contact our staff daily between 8am and 10pm on 0191 377 2415.
If you wish to rehome a dog then click on "Rehoming" for pictures of the dogs currently available.
The charity looks for a donation for its dogs and cats. A suggested minimum amount is given with each animal's details but you are welcome to give more if you wish. We accept donations in cash but regret that, due to charges imposed by banks, we are unable to accept credit or debit cards at this time.
CAN YOU HELP???
Stray Aid's tombolas are proving so popular that we are running out of prizes! Tombolas are an important source of income for the charity but we urgently need donations of soft toys and toiletries.
SPRING APPEAL
The charity has taken a brave step and commissioned an Animal Ambulance, which is supported entirely by your kind donations and crewed by volunteers. (Please see "Our Ambulance" in Main Menu)
Can you help this project become a success by making a donation towards its running costs?
The charity is currently recruiting volunteers to be trained as crew. Drivers need to be over 25 and have held a clean licence for at least 3 years.
PLEASE HELP US TO HELP THE STRAY DOGS OF COUNTY DURHAM!
