We are currently looking for 1 or 2 special dog loving people who want to make a difference to the lives of stray dogs.

General cleaning, washing up and a few other sundry jobs will also be a part of the daily routine. The ideal person should be available Monday to Friday 1pm to 4pm and 9am till 1pm at weekends. However it could be possible to share the days with another volunteer.Interested parties please email or call 07787135053. http://www.hyndburnstraydogsinneed.co.uk Dont forget the next microchipping morning is on Saturday 27th February 10am - 12pm. No appointment necessary. £10 per dog. Please be aware that we will only microchip dogs over 12 weeks old that have completed their vaccination course and only dogs that appear to be a good general health. http://www.hyndburnstraydogsinneed.co.uk On Wednesday 27th January Steve Wood, dog Warden for HBC will be attending 3 schools in Hyndburn to talk to the school children about being safe around dogs. This is due to the increasing incidents of dangreous dog situations and so the police in conjunction with the dog warden service believe that children need to be aware and have the tools to keep as safe as poosible if they should find themselves in a potentialy frightening or dangerous sitauation with any dog whether it be known to them or not. Steve will be accompanied by PCSO Steve Charnley and of course, Woody Woods, our famous education tool. http://www.hyndburnstraydogsinneed.co.uk Unfortunately, we will no longer be running our popular dog training club. We do hope that in the very near future we will be able to get the club up and running again. We would like to thank Kath Storey for her time, effort and passion she has put in to training dogs and their owners alike. http://www.hyndburnstraydogsinneed.co.uk Steve Wood would like everyone to know that although they have seen in the Observer that HBC have advertised the dog warden contract, he will still be continuing in his role as the dog warden and Chairman of HSDIN. http://www.hyndburnstraydogsinneed.co.uk Our hero, Kerry Smalley, has triumphed over the weather by opening the shop every day during the snow and ice.

As you may know, Steve is Hyndburns Dog Warden, and out of all of the UK, he has just been voted DOG WARDEN OF THE YEAR.This is a prestigous honour, that very few will achieve. Fantastic News and a huge Well Done from all of the 4675 stray dogs that have been given a second chance since Steve began this charity in 2001. It is through his foresight,passion and dedication to the job of Dog Warden, that these strays have found medical treatment if needed, and a loving forever home. Without this most of the dogs would have been put to sleep, and not living the great life that they are.
Steve and his dogs Woody and Betty are a familiar sight in Hyndburn, so if you see them, you know that this is Dog Warden Of The Year.
