Stray Aid is a registered charity based in Coxhoe, Durham. Our aim is to provide practical help and information on stray, lost or abandoned dogs and cats across County Durham.

Stray Aid Kennels, Coxhoe, are open between 8am and 8pm, seven days a week. 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 "Dogs in Council Care" section.

If you are looking to rescue a dog then click on "Our Animals" for pictures of the dogs currently available. You are welcome to view dogs for rehoming between 12 noon and 4pm. If you wish to view or rehome a dog outside these times, please ring the kennels on 0191 3772415 before your visit to make sure a volunteer is available to help you.

Stray Aid Kennels, Coxhoe, are closed to the public between 8pm 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.
