Charity 2009/10 -Haslemere and District Dog Training Club

OLDIES CLUB

The Oldies Club is a dog rescue, run solely by volunteers, that specialises in rescuing and rehoming older dogs - aged 7 years plus.

We first came into existence in the Spring of 2005, and in March 2007 the Oldies Club proudly became Registered Charity number 1118246.

We do not have kennels or a central base as, rather than placing our dogs in kennels, we prefer to care for them in a normal home environment. We therefore use foster homes.

Our foster homes are spread around the country and each of them has been carefully checked. Before we place a dog in a foster home, we try, as far as possible, to ensure that we know the likes, dislikes and needs of the dog to ensure the foster home is one it will be happy in.

Lowland Search Dogs (Sussex)

When people think of Search Dogs they think of an injured climber on a remote mountain or some lost hikers in a desolate area of the Yorkshire moors. But what of the Alzheimer's sufferer who has walked out of their home into the countryside, or the despondent who disappears somewhere on the South Downs?

LS Dogs (SX) was formed in March 2003 to support the Police in the search and location of missing, vulnerable people throughout both East and West Sussex, 24 hours a day. Lowland Search Dogs (Sussex) became a registered Charity in January 2005.
