Benji’s Ongoing Care

Benji a Cockapoo came to us because of a relationship breakdown and his previous owner could not financially/ emotionally give him what he needs. Benji is dog and car reactive and fearful of some people, until he gets comfortable with them. He has bad separation anxiety and has since day one. His previous owner felt he would need more than they could give him, so asked for our help.

Benji is currently in a foster home. We are giving him time before he has a full vet check, and time before he attends a dog groomers. As a responsible charity we do supply a good quality diet, which is also very important to any dogs wellbeing.

We have a dog specialist in place to support Benji and his Foster family total cost for a package from the dog specialist sessions comes to £595.00. Since being in a caring, loving foster home Benji is settling in and being very well cared for by everyone.

Any money raised through #DoggyLottery will go towards Benji’s ongoing care.

About the charity:
Part of the philosophy behind Doodleaid is we help, we don’t take over. These are not ‘our’ dogs but they are dogs loved by their current and future owners and dogs that have become a part of people’s lives. We do not presume that, because someone is forced into a position where they have to give up their beloved pet, that the relationship ends there.

We give people the choice, because they deserve nothing less. Dogs are matched with prospective owners but the choices are discussed with the current owner. New owners must undertake several visits to meet the current owner, see the dog, take their dog with them (if they currently have one).

If a behaviourist has been involved, they can meet and talk to ensure that all parties understand the needs of the dog. In some cases, the behaviourist assesses saand advises the current owner. Then if the dog is rehomed, helps the new owner deal with any ongoing issues.

We have recently introduced stay overs, whereby, if the prospective owners already own a dog, the dog up for adoption can have a trial stay with them before the adoption goes ahead, this is proving a big success.

Mango Tango’s Veterinary Care

Mango Tango is a middle-aged, unchipped Chihuahua who came to Animals in Need via a vet and the dog warden after being involved in a high-speed road traffic collision.
It was touch and go, but she is now fighting her way back.
Her veterinary bills currently stand at £3,700 so any money raised through #DoggyLottery will go towards her ongoing veterinary care.

About the charity:
Animals In Need is an organisation dedicated to rescuing sick, injured, trapped and distressed wild and domestic animals. We provide veterinary treatment where necessary, care for and rehabilitate animals until they can be released or re-homed. Animals In Need was set up in 1990, the aim of the organization is alleviate suffering in animals.

In the years Animals In Need has been established, we have acquired a fully equipped animal ambulance, two water crafts and trailers for transportation, plus the usual first aid essentials. Although our first aid equipment is adequate it is regularly updated to current standards.

Animals In Need is a rescue organization run by 8 members of staff and a team of volunteers, attending animal casualties in the Northamptonshire area. We attend to both domestic and wild animals, and in 1999 were asked by Northamptonshire Police to work with them attending road traffic accidents and out of hours emergencies.

Feeding and caring for the injured animals we rescue is most important especially in cases of young orphaned birds, which need hand feeding every hour from dawn till dusk. Also young hedgehogs which haven’t reached the required weight to survive hibernation over the winter months, need to be kept warm and fed as do swans that have incurred injuries, many from fishing tackle that they have swallowed or become entangled in. Please if you bring in wildlife or collect hedgehogs after we have rehabilitated them, perhaps you would be kind enough to consider setting up a standing order or making a one-off donation to help towards food and vet bills – we are totally reliant on donations and receive no government funding.

Our continued dedication to the animals has resulted with us teaming up with the amazing dog trainer Nathan Watson. Nathan successfully runs Restart4Rescues and this programme is offered to anyone who rehomes a dog from us here to help provide support and information in those first important few weeks when settling a rescue dog into your home.

Veterinary & Emergency Boarding Costs

8 Below Husky Rescue are raising funds for ongoing veterinary and emergency boarding costs for dogs in their care whilst they await their forever homes.
Many of the dogs arrive with additional needs or require urgent medical treatment, specialist care, or time in boarding before suitable foster or adoptive homes can be found. These costs quickly add up, but are essential to ensure every dog receives the care and support they need.
Funds raised will help provide vital veterinary treatment, rehabilitation, and safe accommodation for dogs on their journey to finding a loving home.

🐾 Dogs currently looking for their forever homes:

Wolfie (7 years old)
A sweet and sensitive boy who came from a large group of dogs. Wolfie prefers a calmer environment and would suit being an only dog or with a calm female companion. He recently underwent urgent dental surgery, having 8 teeth removed, and has recovered well.

Sabre (3 years old)
A happy-go-lucky boy who is fully blind, but doesn’t let it hold him back. He loves attention and cuddles, and will need a patient owner to support his additional needs and help him build confidence.

Duke (8 years old)
A true gentleman who arrived through the stray system and initially found kennel life overwhelming. Now thriving in foster care, he’s a happy, affectionate boy who will make a wonderful addition to a family.

Roo
A striking PieBald Husky with a wonderful nature. Previously part of a large pack, Roo would thrive in a home with another dog for companionship. He enjoys his walks and is looking for a family committed to his ongoing training.

About the charity:
8 Below Husky Rescue are a registered charity who specialise in rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming northern breed dogs throughout the mainland UK.

All of the dogs who come into our care are fully assessed on arrival, they are all neutered (age/health permitting) microchipped, flea and wormed and are only rehomed when they are ready, into a suitable environment for that specific dog. We offer full rescue back up for life for all dogs, this gives the owners peace of mind that if for any reason they require help, we will be on hand to help.

Our team is made up of volunteers who dedicate their time to help raise awareness of the northern breeds along with helping fundraise at our many events throughout the year.
