Doris Banham Dog Rescue are so proud and privileged to be presented their cheque for £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.

Saving dogs from the council pound and nursing them back to health and a sense of normality is just the first step.

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.

LADY PENELOPE IS LOOKING FOR A HOME - SHE WANTS A FAMILY TO LOVE ♥️🐾🐾
This little sweetheart is 1 year old and we took her in as an emergency.
She is a beautiful little lady who is always happy to please. She obeys her commands and is such an endearing little girl who wants to share the love. She loves her walks and walks lovely on the lead. She will make an amazing family member.
If you can take this beautiful girl into your heart and home, please call 07984 143 253 or 07498 066279 for more information and fill in this form
www.dorisbanhamdogrescue.org/wp/apply-to-adopt-2/
Our search for the right home for Lady Penelope may take a while and we would be so very grateful if you would consider supporting her whilst she waits patiently for her special family to come.
Lady Penelope has not been cat tested. ‘Meet and greets’ will need to take place with any dog(s) in the potential adopter’s home to see if a bond is possible.
Please, please if you can even donate £1 it WILL make a difference and will go directly to paying for her care.
Lady Penelope’s emergency boarding costs £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.

Just look at this boy’s beautiful face ♥️…..
VINCENT IS READY TO FIND THE HOME OF HIS DREAMS…. COULD THAT BE YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW?
Vincent is 2.5 years old. He is still stranger nervous but has come on in leaps and bounds.
He has become increasingly loving and playful whilst in our care.
🐾Vincent loves cuddles and will let you do almost anything with him.
🐾He loves running around the paddock.
🐾He also loves his walks, but is a bit strong on the lead at first.
🐾He knows his commands.
Vincent is a large dog who is full of excitement initially, but then calms down.
We are looking for an experienced adult ‘only dog’ home, who are prepared to visit the kennels several times to get to know Vincent and gain his trust. A rural location would be ideal. Vincent has not been cat tested.
He is an adorable boy and has a lot to give the right family.
If you think you are the one that can give this handsome boy a forever home, he will reward you a millionfold.
Please call 07984 143253 or 07498 066279 for more information and fill in this form
www.dorisbanhamdogrescue.org/wp/apply-to-adopt-2/
Our search for the right home for Vincent 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.
Please, please if you can even donate £1 it WILL make a difference and will go directly to paying for Vincent’s care as he progresses on his journey.

ROYSTON, OUR STAFFIE X BOY, IS LOOKING FOR A LOVING HOME….
HE SAYS ‘PLEASE GIVE ME A CHANCE TO LOVE YOU’... ♥️🐾🐾
Royston needs and deserves the chance to find the special person or family that will give him the loving home he longs for. Could that be you, or someone you know?
What can we tell you about Royston?
🐾Royston is a nine year old ‘Staffie Cross Breed’. He loves his belly rubs and can understand and respond to basic commands.
🐾He enjoys his walks, but can pull at first due to the initial excitement of a walk : he’s not keen on bad weather!!
🐾He loves treats and you’ll win him over with those!
🐾He’s a real ‘ladies man’, but has become more trusting around males, as he familiarises himself with them over time.
Any potential adopters would need to make several visits to the kennels to get to know Royston. He will also need to have some bonding sessions with other household members, in order to build up that relationship of trust. ‘Meet and greets’ would need to take place with any dog(s) in the potential adopter’s home to see if a bond is possible. Royston has not been cat tested.
When Royston gets to know you he will truly love you, showing what an adorable affectionate soul he is.
If you can take this beautiful boy into your heart and home, please call 07984 143 253 or 07498 066279 for more information and fill in this form
