Can you offer a tin of dog food please ?

Posted on:

Due to living as strays and eating whatever they could find, we have several dogs arriving with poorly tummies.  We are getting through so much tinned Chappie, that we are stripping the shop shelves of the stuff!
This is an appeal for donations of tins of dog food eg.  Butchers Tripe please (not gravy), either loaf or jelly. It smells yummy and if we can’t get them to eat the Chappie, they will often eat the tripe. We are desperate for more tins due to a huge demand.

Can you add a tin or two to your shopping please ? (We do have drop off points for people in Harlow if it’s not convenient to come to the kennels).

THANK YOU!

Help needed

Can you offer a foster home to one of the needy dogs waiting for their chance at home life?

Foster homes are urgently required as there are too many dogs for the kennel spaces available.

We also really need a homechecker for the Bedford area.

Does anyone have some spare fencing panels ? If you have any that are surplus to requirements, please call the kennels who will gratefully take them off your hands.

Knitting wool needed please

Knitting wool needed please

We have two ladies who crochet little blankets for the small animals here. They can do even more if we can get them the wool. Please have a sort out and bring your surplus wool to the kennels. Thank you.

Donations of towels, quilts and coats

Posted on:

Now that the wet weather is here, we are finding it extremely hard to dry all the blankets so kindly donated throughout the summer.

We need towels and quilts that are soft and cosy, but easy to dry. We are also appealing for vetbed type bedding, it looks a bit like sheepskin, usually cream coloured but comes in all colours and patterns. It’s very warm and very easy and quick to dry.

We are also in need if some more dog coats -all sizes. We do have lots of dog coats but with record numbers of dogs in this year, many have just worn out or been destroyed by the dogs! Winter creeps in fast in rescue!
