The Site

Situated on the old 'Bridledown' site, it has housed a kennels here since 1954 set in a fantastic 17.5 acre plot. At first providing a first class quarantine centre for cats and dogs and also acting as a traditional boarding establishment. Through the work of Chancepixies, it has now become heavily involved in the care and re-homing of stray and unwanted dogs in the area and has established itself within the local community as a place where genuine dog lovers can give a suitable pet a new and loving home. We currently have 18 kennels dedicated to the care and welfare of the stray and un-wanted dogs in our care. With more funding we are looking to upgrade and expand the existing kennels and/or build new kennel blocks.

Kennel & Re Homing Staff

Regardless of our staff backgrounds, it is of utmost importance that everyone who works here has a natural rapport with the dogs, without exception.

David Anderson:

David has been heavily involved with dogs and their care and wefare for many years. Having owned boarding kennels in the late 1980s and been an integral part of Staffordshire Bull Terrier Rescue and Dobermann Rescue, David took on a hands on role in the successful rehabilitation and rehoming of many dogs. David has had a strong interest in all breeds for many years and after purchasing the Bridledown site he saw for himself the amazing natures and even temperaments of the dogs that came in as strays. Having bought the kennels and continued the stray contracts to the councils and police stations, he soon saw the need for a professional and caring service, where these dogs could be cared for and given a second chance at finding new, permanent homes. This huge responsibility was taken on in the full knowledge, that no dog would be destroyed, unless in the opinion of a qualified veterinarian there was no other choice. With the communities help and support, David and his team hope to be able to continue to provide, and to improve on the ideals he set out to achieve, the idea that every dog deserves to live out their lives in safety and comfort.
