 CAN YOU HELP??

Winter is upon us, and we urgently need WARM BEDDING for our dogs - old blankets, quilts, sheets, towels, anything that dogs can snuggle up in! We are also looking for donations of money to help towards the running costs of our heaters. Every one of our 3kw heaters costs about 30p to run for 1 hour  - CAN YOU HELP? Donations of bedding or cash can be taken to either our kennels at Coxhoe or Northern Stray-care vets at 21 High Street South, Langley Moor. Also cash donations can be made via paypal on the "Donations" section of the home page (Stray Aid is a registered charity no. 1117372) Or could you give a rescue dog a good home?

We need your help

Stray Aid is currently in the process of gathering funds to build a new kennel block at our rescue centre in Coxhoe. Our dogs deserve the best of care during their stay at the kennels. We therefor need your help to raise £92,000 for a new block of state-of-the-art kennels which we can heat in the winter, and where each dog can have its own exercise area. Please visit our "New Re-homing Centre" page for further details. This will help to make the dogs' lives more comfortable during their stay. This seems like a very large amount, but together we CAN reach it!

We need your help. Please become a supporter or Life Member of Stray-Aid. All fees go into Stray Aid's funds and bring us closer to our goal.

How You Can Help?

Funding By becoming a supporter of Stray Aid, (the annual fee is £26.00 Standard), making a donation, or providing sponsorship, funding vital to our cause can be raised.

Volunteers Dog walkers, dog socialisers, fundraisers and recruiters are an essential part of our continuing success - please note, all volunteers must be 16 years or over.

Adopters For a donation, which goes back into the fund, you can take a dog or cat home to a new life.

We need donations of: Dog food, dog bowls, collars and leads, dog toys, dog beds and bedding, cat baskets, cat food, cat litter (wood based) and cat toys. 2nd class stamps and envelopes help to reduce our running costs.
