We would like to thank the wonderful Betty Phillips Charitable Trust for the amazing grant that they have awarded our Charity.
It is so uplifting and motivating when a like-minded organisation supports the life-saving work we do and understands the urgency of the situation during this continuing national animal welfare crisis.
As 100% of the funds received will be spent directly on rescuing the dogs, this grant will do immeasurable good.
Our heartfelt thanks go out to them from us all at Doris Banham Dog Rescue and all the dogs in our care but extra special thanks go to them from all the dogs who will now live because of their generosity and compassion. For these dogs they are truly animal angels.
This grant will enable us to save the lives of dogs in pounds, veterinary surgeries and other desperate situations who are imminently due to die, change their fates and find them the loving homes they always deserved. No words can describe our gratitude to the Trust for giving us the ability to do this and we thank them from the bottom of our hearts. Trudiexxxx
As we celebrate our 20th year of unconditional love, we would like our anniversary year to be a year when we remember the thousands and thousands of dogs we have saved and also those whom, although we tried with all our might, we were unable to.
We would like to celebrate the dogs we have in our care and be so very thankful for the amazing army of animal angels who support us so brilliantly. We ask you please come celebrate with us!
We would love all our supporters to join together in our anniversary plans and help us to raise funds so that we can say with certainty that we will be here next year to continue saving precious lives together. Please look for our anniversary posts and support us with all your wonderful hearts.
Together we make the world a better place and the animals need us so very much now more than at any time we have ever known. Together over the past 20 years we have achieved with extreme love and bravery more than we could ever have imagined but there is so much more to do.
Please letβs make this anniversary year a year when we celebrate what we have achieved and make sure that we are here next year to achieve even more. God bless and lots of love Trudie xxxx
THANK YOU TO THE PETPLAN CHARITABLE TRUST FOR YOUR GENEROSITY, COMPASSION AND UNDERSTANDING
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to Petplan UK for your wonderful grant of Β£5,000 to aid our Frontline Pandemic Workload Recovery.
It is always really motivational when our frontline work is recognised and help is given to help us to recover from the enormous additional burden it has placed upon us, especially as we are a retraining facility whose services have been even more vitally needed during these difficult times.
We would like to congratulate this wonderful Trust on their 30th Anniversary. We wish them another happy and successful 30 years as organisations such as these make the world a better place.
Thank you to the Petplan Charitable Trust from us all, all our dogs and all the dogs whose lives will be saved through their amazing support.
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.
It is hard to put into words our gratitude to The Jean Sainsbury Animal Welfare Trust who have shown their belief in us by supporting our work so amazingly for over a decade now. We owe so very much to them and their constant support inspires us and motivates us.
Understanding the burden that has been placed on us by having to take so many extra emergency boarding kennels to cope with the added workload of the pandemic and post pandemic period, they have awarded us a grant of Β£15,000 towards the cost of these emergency boarding kennels.
All the dogs in our emergency boarding were saved during the pandemic and post pandemic period and would have died if we had not funded an emergency boarding kennel to save their lives. The vast majority of them needed retraining and this amazing grant will fund 1500 safe haven kennel nights for them.
Thank you to the wonderful Jean Sainsbury Animal Welfare Trust. You are all animal angels and our gratitude to you is far greater than we can ever express. Trudiexxxx

JENβS DEEP LOVE FOR HER MUM WILL NOW SAVE MANY LIVES
Jen ran the 2024 Vitality London 10,000 metres in memory of her Mum, our much loved Irene Marsh and raised an astounding Β£1032.78 (including Gift Aid). This is what she wrote:
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
So as many of you know I lost my mum suddenly in August last year β¦ itβs coming up to a year now that weβve been without her and it never gets any easier but in her memory I have decided to do the London 10,000 run in September this year . I would love to raise some funds for the charity that was close to mums heart which was Doris Banham Dog Rescue . I have learnt over the past 12 months just how much this incredible charity does and why it meant so much to her. It relies entirely on donations of food , toys, bedding etc etc so if I could raise even a small amount for them in mumβs name that would be incredible. I know everyone is struggling at the moment and if you can find any way to support me I would be eternally grateful β€οΈ
Jenβ€οΈ
Jen cared and put her care into action. She has our heartfelt gratitude and respect for what she achieved all on her own
Her run will fund 272 life saving kennel nights saving many lives and giving safe sanctuary to the most desperate dogs and they all send their love and thanks to her.
If anyone feels they could do something like Jen did and raise some funds for the dogs please now is the time as we struggle to survive this terrible national animal welfare crisis. 150 dogs depend on us for their lives. Please act now like Jen did and be part of the force for good which will safeguard their future.
Well done. That's amazing
Thankyou Jen xxxxxxx
Remember almost 4 weeks ago there was a beautiful little bull breed girl pup of only 8 weeks of age that had been abandoned?
Here she is, less than a month later, looking significantly healthier thanks to the tender loving care and appropriate nutrition she has received from our kennel team who think she is wonderful!
Sheβs enjoying her play / fun time with her trainer hereβ¦.π©΅
This little girl hasnβt a name yet, So please watch for our competition coming up to top up her puppy care fund and choose her a name!
( Donβt give names yet, please wait for her name appeal ππ)

AZTEC HAS ARRIVED AT OUR EB KENNELS - HE IS SAFE BUT SO VERY FRIGHTENED.
We had hoped to be able to show you some happy pics of Aztec but he is so very scared. He does not know he is safe yet.
We had to put the crate into the kennel so that he can come out when he is ready and feels more secure. We hope to be showing you some happier pictures of him in a few days.
It is so very sad to see the traumatic effects that being mistreated and abandoned have on an innately trusting animal. It is why we rescue because someone has to try to put some of this wrong right and pick up the pieces. We are so glad we were there to save him when he needed our help the most.
We will be starting him on frequent small meals to begin rebuilding his weight and strength and lots of tlc to build his trust and confidence.
Your amazing love saved his life and gave us the ability to use our love to mend him again and when he is less frightened he will be saying thank you from the bottom of his heart xxxx
Hopefully it won’t take long before Aztec realises he’s safe and he can mend his broken heart, thank you once again for being his saviour for for giving him a chance of life. Sending love to him and to you all who saved him.
Thank you so much for all you do..he will mend in your care π
Bless him, I don't think it will be long before he realises he is finally safe and will be for the rest of his life β€οΈ
Thank you so much for saving him. Poor little thing has obviously been through a lot- thank goodness he’s in safe hands now x
Bless him, soon he will realise he is safe and learn to trust again πΎβ€οΈπ
Im so relieved to see he is now safe in your loving caring hands xx
God bless you. Breaks my heart. How can anyone put a poor pup through this. And worse he would be in a bag now. A thousand thanks. I will be posting my cheque first class to help him
So glad he is safe now and in the very best hands x
Thank you for sharing this update of this beautiful boy. He doesn't realise it yet, but he's a very lucky boy π xx

Thankyou for saving him ♥οΈπΎ
