Stray Aid are an animal-based organization whose primary aim is to stop rehomeable stray dogs and cats from being put down. We increase public awareness to the plight of unwanted animals, providing information on what to do if you lose or find a dog or cat, who to contact and how to get help. We are creating a network to facilitate the exchange of dogs around the country. We provide and maintain a safe and secure environment for our strays until such time as our dogs and cats can be rehomed. In addition, Stray Aid subsidises a veterinary surgeon to provide necessary veterinary treatment for un-owned animals.

The founder members of Stray Aid were appalled by the fact that healthy dogs were being put to sleep every week. In a Council Dog Pound, if a dog is not returned to its original owner or a new home can't be found, the dog may have to be put down to make room for the next batch of strays.

Stray Aid is dedicated to providing health checks, vaccination, flea and roundworm treatment, neutering and shelter for stray dogs and cats until such time as they can be rehomed. Northern Stray-Care Veterinary Centre have pledged their help and support, as have Dogs Trust. We also need your help.
