mum24dog Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Each year our training club chooses one or two charities to support and significant amounts of money are raised. This year we are going to donate to a Rottie rescue and a Greyhound rescue in memory of two of our elderly members whom we have sadly lost during the past year - the question is, which ones? We are in North Lancashire and ideally would like to support reputable independent rescues specialising in those breeds as near as we can to here. (Or at least I would like that to be the case.) I could look at a list of rescues but that wouldn't necessarily tell me what I want to know. What better place to ask for suggestions, please? They don't have to be on the doorstep, but preferably in the north rather than the south. (I've posted this on DP too so if you go on both one reply will do.)

mole Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Fife Rottie Rescue, is that too far, they do a really good job rescueing Rotties. Agree with Mrs Mop about FRR ... a small rescue who go the extra mile to help Rotts ... they have taken RDR dogs in the past and I have transported for them.

I've already mentioned FRR to the committee but we're looking for something more local, ideally. However, you've given me some ammunition in saying they've taken RDR dogs.

Ian Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Greenfields Greyhound rescue was mentioned to me not so long ago. Think this must be the one http://www.stilesmeadow.co.uk/greyhome.html & in Salford theres a small rescue that concentrates on Greyhounds I believe http://www.houndzaruz.co.uk/ Though perhaps further South than you wanted but how about Zep The Dep for rotties? http://www.zepthedep.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
