Hi, welcome to Hereford and Worcester Animal Rescue. We are a small independent voluntary organisation dedicated to helping dogs in need. Each year, in Herefordshire alone there are around 350 dogs who find their way into the stray pound. Some go back home, sadly many are never reclaimed by their owners. These are the dogs we take care of, we provide them with shelter, either in our kennels or in a foster home, they receive any veterinary treatment they may need and they stay with us until a new home is found for them.
We are also here to help should circumstances arise that means you are unable to keep your dog. If you are having difficulties please give us a call, we will do our very best to help you find a new home for your pet..

MESSAGE TO THE PERSON WHO CRUELLY DUMPED THEIR SPANIEL BITCH LAST SUNDAY
I imagine you didnt know what to do she was in such a bad way. Abandoning her out in the country wasn't going to make her well was it, if some kindly passer by hadn't seen her and taken her in she would be dead now.
She has had an operation today, a tumour the size of a football was removed, its touch and go whether she will pull through, but thanks to our fantastic vets, Brookfield Veterinary Practice, Hereford she has been given the chance.
Everyone is praying she will make it and have a second chance of a loving new home and family. Our very sincere thanks to Chris and all at Brookfield who have donated their time and worked as hard as they can to help her.
If you have a sick dog, please please don't leave them to suffer, I know vets bills can be horrendously expensive, please dont be frightened or ashamed to contact the PDSA, or the RSPCA they are there to help you. We are a very small local charity, we cannot help you with vets fees.
If your dog is ill please seek help dont just dump them to fend for themselves.

SOME OF OUR MORE RECENT RESIDENTS - HAPPY IN NEW HOMES
'THE REASON'
I would have died that day if not for you
I would've given up on life if not for your kind eyes
I would've used my teeth in fear if not for your gentle hands.
I would have left this life believing that all humans don't care
Believing there is no such thing as fur that isn't matted,
Skin that isnt flea bitten
Good food and enough of it
Beds to sleep on
Someone to love me
To show me that I deserve love, because I exist
Your kind eyes, loving smile, gentle hands and big heart saved me
You saved me from the terror of the pound
Soothing away memories of my old life
You taught me what it means to be loved
I have seen you do the same for other dogs like me
I have heard you ask yourself in times of despair, why you do it
When there is no more money, no more room, no more homes
You open your heart a little bigger, stretch the money a little tighter
Make just a little more room - to save one more like me
I tell you with the gratitude and love that shines in my eyes
In the best way I know how
Reminding you why you go on trying
I am the reason
The dogs before me were the reason
As are the ones who come after
Our lives would have been wasted
Our love never given
We would die if not for you
These dogs give 150% all they ask for is a second chance
Sincere thanks to everyone who has taken one of our dogs into their homes - we wouldn't be here without you.
THANK YOU!!!!!
All the crew of Hereford & Worcester Animal Rescue , our furry families, and last but not least the Pound Hounds
