Dogs Trust Darlington puppy chaos: babes of all breeds needing homes


Dogs Trust Darlington has had quite an influx of younguns recently, including 35 taken in during the last weeks of November. They're now very keen to find homes for a whopping eight litters of playful pups.

There are Labrador Crosses, Lurchers, Collie Crosses and Staffordshire Bull Terriers all available at the centre, so if you are thinking of getting a puppy then this might be the centre to start your search at!

Staff have had to be creative about naming their new charges, so have given each litter a theme, including:
  • Contestants on I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here
  • Hat types (e.g. Fedora and Beret!)
  • Reindeers (e.g. Blitzen and Prancer)
  • Characters from The Lion King
  • Celebrity offspring (e.g. Cruz and Knox)
At the centre, Supporter Relations Officer Katie Purvis comments:
“Every year we take in puppies that have been bought as Christmas presents and abandoned once the novelty wears off.

Dogs need a lot of time, love and devotion and anyone considering getting a dog should think very seriously before adding a dog to the family. Remember that a dog is for life, not just for Christmas!”
If you are interested in rehoming one of the pups please call the centre on 01325 333 114.

The centre will not rehome from 21st December to 2nd January 2008, but visitors and dog walkers are still welcome and dogs can still be booked during this time.
