Christmas Treats
Our rescue dogs had their favourite therapy this Christmas when they received a box of dog treats and toys, kindly donated by Orthopedic Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists from Scarborough Hospital.

Elsinor Residential Home
We were absolutely delighted when Sharon and Louise, Manager and Deputy Manager of Elsinor Residential Home, Scarborough contacted us to say we were their chosen charity for the annual Christmas Raffle.
We received a cheque for the grand total of £300 which is fantastic and will make such a difference to the rescue. All the proceeds will be used to help abandoned and unwanted dogs from our area, helping them to find loving homes.
Both Sharon and Louise have adopted rescue dogs and Heidi, Hooley and Jay are enjoying life as can be seen in the photo. Saffron on the left, with mum Louise on the right, have adopted Border Collie Jay who came to us as a an abandoned puppy last winter. Sharon, second from the left adopted rescue dog Hooley and came back to us for a second dog when they sadly lost their existing dog and offered a loving home to Heidi.
We would like to extend our thanks to everyone who participated in the raffle.

PICKERING & MALTON BRANCH
Pickering and Malton Branch
We are delighted to announce the formation of the Pickering and Malton Branch, which thanks to the hard work and dedication of our new volunteers, will help raise much needed funds and awareness of our charity in the area. This team will be administered by Kate Collier and John Mackenzie and Jen Baxandall.
Since our formation in June 2010 we have been involved in the Pickering and Malton area, taking in unwanted and abandoned dogs from the Ryedale Dog Warden and from families who can no longer look after their pets for various reasons.
We also rehome our dogs in this area and welcome John Mackenzie of Alpha Assist, who will be working with us, offering advice to new owners with any settling in problems their new pet may have.
