At NESSR we try to help as many dogs as possible regardless of age or special need. Sadly in this throwaway society oldies are often turfed out of their homes because of changing circumstances or because they need expensive veterinary treatment and their owners can not afford it.

When an oldie comes to NESSR we don't want finances to be a barrier to them finding a forever fireside, therefore we assist with any age related veterinary treatment and also in the case of some dogs we pay for any pre-existing medication. This comes at a considerable cost to NESSR's already stretched funds. Some dogs cost us over £30 a month in medication.

In order to help create a fund to support these Oldies and those with special medical needs we have created a Sponsor an Oldie Scheme. People are asked to pledge a monthly amount from as little as £1, they then set up a standing order. In return they receive a bi-annual exclusive "Oldie Update" and also get to choose a "tag" for their forum signature. For UK taxpayers the monthly donation can be gift aided which will add even more to the Oldie's Fund.

On Saturday 17th May there will be an 8 mile sponsored walk along part of the Cotswold Way National Trail in Gloucestershire. 

The walk is for families and their dogs and it is planned to stop at a pub along the way. 

There will be some hills involved in the walk but it is along a well marked and well maintained national trail. The views from along the Cotswold escarpment across the Severn Vale and estuary to Wales are spectacular.



There will be camping available and on the saturday night there will be a BBQ.

For more information please email rhyannon@nessr.net
