The rehoming centre in Sadberge is keeping its doors open longer than ever before, closing at 7.00pm every Thursday until the end of September in a bid to entice more dog-lovers to visit the homeless hounds.

They have dogs of all ages, shapes and sizes here and they’re all searching for new homes. It is hoped these extended opening hours will mean that more local residents will consider paying a visit after work and ultimately more dogs will find their happy endings with new families.

If you are interested in rehoming a rescue dog call the Rehoming Centre directly on 01325 333 114 or visit at Hill House Farm, Sadberge, Co Durham, DL2 1SL.
