Hi, welcome to Hereford and Worcester Animal Rescue. We are a small independent voluntary organisation dedicated to helping dogs in need. Each year, in Herefordshire alone there are around 350 dogs who find their way into the stray pound. Some go back home, sadly many are never reclaimed by their owners. These are the dogs we take care of, we provide them with shelter, either in our kennels or in a foster home, they receive any veterinary treatment they may need and they stay with us until a new home is found for them.
We are also here to help should circumstances arise that means you are unable to keep your dog. If you are having difficulties please give us a call, we will do our very best to help you find a new home for your pet..

A SPECIAL THANK YOU!!!
To Lindsay, Shan, Guinness & Meg
Lindsay writes regularly for motor vehicle magazines, He has kindly donated his payment for 2 recent articles he wrote and has given us cheques totalling a whopping £400 - thank you so much its a fantastic dent in the vets bills. Guinness and Meg, two of our dogs, have a loving family of their own now and its great that the less fortunate kennel dogs are still thought of. Thank you so much
Brookfield Veterinary Centre, their open day raised almost £300 for us. Thank you everyone for all the hard work put in and a brilliant amount raised.
Brookfield have a great team of vets, nurses and admin staff, they are very supportive of the work we do. Our dogs couldn't be in better hands.
Sainsburys Hereford - and of course their customers. donated an amazing £3000 worth of food to us during the month of April - thank you so much. That along with the Pedigree Petfoods rescue dog drive in March which involved Morrisons Supermarket collecting food raising a similar amount, means that our kennel dogs will be feasting on the finest foods for months to come. Thank you everyone for your support. Indeed thank you too, to all the people who turn up at the kennels with their own donations of food - it is all gratefully received and very very welcome
Lastly a great big thank you to our fundraiser Jude, who prefers to work behind the scenes, but day in day out is on the phone, e mailing, visiting, working her hardest to get the dogs what they need. She does a fantastic job, more than a fantastic job, she is irreplaceable

NEW RULINGS REGARDING STRAY DOGS
As from 6th April the police no longer have a responsibility to take in stray dogs, this is now the sole responsibility of your local council. If you are in Herefordshire and find a stray dog please ring the council helpline on 01432 260000, they will then make arrangements for the dog to be collected from you. This service is available out of hours 6.00am - 9.00am and 6.00pm - 10.00pm weekdays and 6.00am - 10.00pm weekends and bank holidays. You should only make contact if you have the dog in your possession. This service is for 'found' dogs only, if you have lost your dog please contact the dog wardens during normal working hours Monday to Friday. Please give a clear and accurate description of the missing dog.

SOME OF OUR MORE RECENT RESIDENTS - HAPPY IN NEW HOMES
'THE REASON'
I would have died that day if not for you
I would've given up on life if not for your kind eyes
I would've used my teeth in fear if not for your gentle hands.
I would have left this life believing that all humans don't care
Believing there is no such thing as fur that isn't matted,
Skin that isnt flea bitten
Good food and enough of it
Beds to sleep on
Someone to love me
To show me that I deserve love, because I exist
Your kind eyes, loving smile, gentle hands and big heart saved me
You saved me from the terror of the pound
Soothing away memories of my old life
You taught me what it means to be loved
I have seen you do the same for other dogs like me
I have heard you ask yourself in times of despair, why you do it
When there is no more money, no more room, no more homes
You open your heart a little bigger, stretch the money a little tighter
Make just a little more room - to save one more like me
I tell you with the gratitude and love that shines in my eyes
In the best way I know how
Reminding you why you go on trying
I am the reason
The dogs before me were the reason
As are the ones who come after
Our lives would have been wasted
Our love never given
We would die if not for you
These dogs give 150% all they ask for is a second chance
Sincere thanks to everyone who has taken one of our dogs into their homes - we wouldn't be here without you.
THANK YOU!!!!!
All the crew of Hereford & Worcester Animal Rescue , our furry families, and last but not least the Pound Hounds
