You can help save lives of animals like Molly and Ella

Support our Troubled Tails with a regular giver or one-off gift and your generosity can be a pillar of support to animals like Molly and Ella. By becoming a regular giver, your gift can make an enduring difference in the lives of animals at Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter, today and in the years to come.

At Newcastle Dog and Cat Shelter, each animal’s story is unique, filled with its own challenges and triumphs. Some come to us with a well-known past, while others require us to gently unravel their history to provide the best care possible.

Fear, mistrust, and a lack of confidence are sadly a common part of an animals initial days with us. A dog’s tail is not just a part of their body but a barometer of their emotions, telling tales without words. Our commitment extends beyond providing shelter and food; we offer a nurturing environment of care, compassion, and a safe space for rebuilding trust, fostering playful spirits, and instilling a newfound confidence in our animals. The joy of seeing a once troubled tail wagging in happiness is immeasurable, and as a regular giver, you become an integral part of this journey of transformation.

 

Molly and Ella’s Troubled Tail

Take Molly and Ella, for instance – two 12-year-old Chihuahua sisters with their own set of special needs. Molly needed surgery for a mammary mass, and Ella, with her unique dental condition, required extra care to hydrate her lopping tongue. Rescued at a critical time, they received the necessary medical attention and are now in a nurturing foster home, on the path to finding a forever family. Stories like theirs are at the heart of our mission, and regular support from people like you makes these happy endings possible.

How Your Support Helps

Your regular contributions go towards the daily needs of our animals – food, veterinary care, shelter maintenance, and enrichment activities, costing on average £25 per day for a dog and £15 for a cat. But more than that, you provide the stability and assurance that every animal in our care will have the chance to thrive in a loving environment.

A message from their new owners

Be the Constant in Their Lives

On rehoming Molly and Ella, their proud new owners said, “We’ve fallen for them hook, line and sinker!”. They explained how the sweet girls first night was a success, “They explored the house, had some tea and ventured into the back yard and the front garden.”

Following a successful dry night, the proud owners concluded, “They were so happy to see us when we got up even though it was 5.30🙈… we carried them straight to the garden and they both had a wee (to a little round of applause ❤️). They’ve had some breakfast and are now both in their bed having a nap.”
