Doris Banham Dog Rescue are so proud and privileged to be presented their cheque for Β£25,000 on the site of their brand new kennel block - a dream that the Jean Sainsbury Animal Welfare Trust has made come true by awarding us their 40th Anniversary Special Project Award. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts and the hearts of all the dogs in our care.
As we struggle to cope with the present national animal welfare crisis, the donation of this kennel block at our main kennels by the Jean Sainsbury Animal Welfare Trust is a real Godsend. During this crisis we have had to take an increased number of emergency boarding kennels in order to save dogs' lives when our main kennels are full which has placed us under enormous financial pressure. We were 'the last chance to live' for these dogs who would all have died if we had not taken extra kennels. This block will allow us to move 10 dogs at a time out of emergency boarding to our main kennels for rehoming thus allowing us to reduce costs and increase our rehoming rate. We are so very grateful to Jean Sainsbury for giving us this amazing lifeline.

The sands of time are running down for stray and neglected dogs in council pounds. Help us to get them on the road to recovery and into the forever home that they deserve.

Just returned from holiday with a Fistful of Dollars, or Euro or Yen? If you don't think it's worth waiting in line at the bank to change them back then there's always somebody willing to take them off your hands.

Saving dogs from the council pound and nursing them back to health and a sense of normality is just the first step. We have only so much space and a seemingly endless stream of new dogs in need of our help. Could you be the final link in the chain that offers one of our dogs the loving home that they deserve?
-
If you are unable to assist financially and not currently able to offer a home to one of our dogs there are still a number of different ways in which you can lend a hand.

Dave is a majestic 7 year old βDogues de Bordeauxβ X βMastiffβ
Dave entered our care after being found on the streets, with a heavy chain around his neck and multiple skin infections. We suspect heβd been used as a guard dog and then dumped.
Dave has progressed in leaps and bounds with lots of time and love from our kennels team. His skin is better now, due to medicated baths (as youβll see in the βbeforeβ and βafterβ photos).
Dave :
πΎis strong on the lead (although he doesnβt pull, he plods!) β₯οΈ
πΎrequires an only dog / only pet home
πΎneeds an experienced βbreed savvyβ strong owner
πΎlikes his treats and a fuss!
πΎenjoys duvets to sleep on and really hates leaving them for a walk!
πΎhas learnt his basic commands
πΎis fully vaccinated
Dave loves people and is now seeking his βhappy ever afterβ and that favourite duvet! He will make a loving companion.
If you feel you can take Dave into your heart and home, please call 07984 143 253 or 07498 066 279 for more information and fill in this form

Our search for the right home for Dave may take a while and we would be so very grateful if you would consider supporting him whilst he waits. We have 150 dogs in our care now who are all depending on the survival of our Charity for them to have a future. Times are very desperate and frightening at the moment and we need your support more than ever to continue our life saving work.

BRANDY IS SEARCHING FOR HER βHAPPY EVER AFTERβ - COULD THAT BE YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW? π
Brandy is an eight year old female Lurcher X. She gets on well with other dogs and has benefitted from the training programme undertaken in the kennels : to build up trust with adults.
She is friendly with the kennels team. Brandy walks lovely on the lead. There have been no issues in the kennels, but she can be nervous of strangers.
She is classed as a medium sized dog.
Not much is known of Brandyβs past apart from that she was at risk of being euthanised. Maybe it was linked to her unpredictability towards people, which has now improved due to her training programme.
Looking towards a positive future β Brandy is now ready to live her best life! Brandy is a lovely dog. Several visits to the kennels will be required, to build up a relationship of trust and confidence with Brandy. Brandy has not been cat tested.
Conversations would need to take place with regard to any older children/young people in the household.
If you would like to take beautiful Brandy into your heart and home, please call 07984 143 253 or 07498 066 279 for more information and fill in this form:
www.dorisbanhamdogrescue.org/wp/apply-to-adopt-2/

Brandy is in emergency boarding at Β£9 per night and we are struggling to meet all the bills so a pot of her very own would be wonderful and would help us to pay her monthly emergency boarding bill as with so very many in emergency boarding these bills are crippling our rescue.
