Here at DEERNESS KENNELS STRAY ACTION we are committed to re-homing all our stray dogs whenever possible. We have a non-destruction policy so that all dogs have a safe haven until a suitable home can be found. These dogs are mostly homeless through no fault of their own, through family circumstances, owner's ill health, bereavement, being abandoned or abused, or just that their owners don't want them anymore. OUR PLEDGE IS TO KEEP ALL HEALTHY STRAY DOGS UNTIL REHOMED OR PUT IN A PLACE OF SAFETY. In 2005 to 2006 we put central heating in, also double glazing and tiling for our strays and rescue kennels. In 2006 onwards we aim to spend any amount necessary on saving all healthy stray dogs. In 2007 we have built a recovery room for all dogs to be neutered before rehoming if possible. This is a block where they are kept warm and quiet for a few days so they can recover from the visit to the Vets.
WE ALSO HAVE AN   E-A-R   (ELDERLY ANIMAL RESCUE) PROJECT. YOU CAN FOSTER OR ADOPT AN ELDERLY DOG FOR NO CHARGE IF YOU CAN GIVE HIM OR HER A GOOD HOME.	PETPLAN PROVIDE 4 WEEKS FREE INSURANCE  WITH ALL OUR DOGS
