About Hyndburn Stray Dogs In Need

The concept of the charity grew from a perceived need first identified by Steve Wood, Hyndburn Borough's Dog Warden. Steve became aware in the course of his duties that seriously injured dogs were being taken to the vet to be euthanaised who might, given funding for treatment, be able to carry on and live a perfectly happy and normal life.

The first dog was Dougal(Pictured Here)

He ran into the path of oncoming traffic whilst Steve was trying to apprehend him.
Instead of having the dog put to sleep Steve went about raising money to fund Dougal's treatment.
Dougal had to have a leg amputated at a cost of £375.

When the second and third cases arrived it was quickly realised that it was the same people helping to raise money therefore the charity was conceived. We had our first official meeting on 21 st May 2001.
