DOGS TRUST DOG IS GIVEN A CANINE CAMEO IN LOCAL WIZARD OF OZ PRODUCTIONHomeless George gets a taste of the limelight
A rescue dog being cared for by Dogs Trust Darlington has been given a starring role in a local Wizard of Oz production in a bid to find him a home.
Eight month old George, the St Bernard, who has no prior acting experience, is set to play the role of Toto alongside his co-stars CBeebies star Sarah-Jane Honeywell, Tracy Beaker star Dani Harmer and comedy legend Bobby Davro.
The production of ‘The Wizard of Oz’ will take place from Thursday 12th to 13th April 2012 at The Darlington Civic Theatre.
Sue Embleton, Dogs Trust Darlington Rehoming Centre Manager says:
“Gentle Giant George is a very loving boy who is desperate to find his perfect home, so it’s all the more special that he’s been offered this cameo! He’s not long been with us but is a star in the making and he’s desperately missing the comfort of a home environment. He enjoys his food and going for walks. He may not be a typical Toto but we’re hoping that someone will spot his star talent and give him a home. As Dorothy says in the Wizard of Oz ‘there’s no place like home!’”
If you think you could lead George along the yellow brick road into your home please call the Rehoming Centre directly on 01325 333 114 or visit at Hill House Farm, Sadberge, Co Durham, DL2 1SL.

78 % OF DEVOTED DOGS WILL SEND A MOTHERS DAY CARD THIS YEAR
But what about the Homeless hounds searching for Mutterly love?
A Mother’s Day Survey by Dogs Trust and greetings card company Charity Greetings revealed that 78% of devoted dogs will send their owner’s a Mother’s Day card this Sunday. Sadly, not all dogs are lucky enough to have a loving human mum to receive their card on Mother’s Day. Dogs Trust, the UK’s largest dog welfare charity has over 1400 hopeful hounds across their 17 rehoming centres all looking for permanent addresses to send their cards.
One sweet boy looking for motherly love is Polo, a five-year-old Japanese Spritz who ended up at Dogs Trust Darlington through no fault of his own. Little Polo has his card ready to send and is hoping to find a ‘pawfect’ new human mum very soon.
Dogs Trust Darlington Rehoming Centre Manager, Sue Embleton, explains:
“Polo is a real mummy’s boy and is desperate to become part of a new family. He has already prepared his card in hope that a new owner will fall in love with him and give him a home. It would make the perfect Mother’s Day present to see this adorable ball of fluff find the loving mum he deserves. He is a very easy going boy who loves people, other dogs and even gets on well with cats. The lucky recipient of Polo’s card will find themselves with a fantastic new best friend for life”
Dogs Trust Darlington cares for around 120 abandoned and unwanted dogs at any one time. If you want to become Polo’s mum or are interested in rehoming another rescue dog call the Rehoming Centre directly on 01325 333 114 or visit at Hill House Farm, Sadberge, Co Durham, DL2 1SL.
SPOT THE DIFFERENCE
Dogs Trust Darlington Rehoming Appeal
Roger Casper
Dogs Trust Darlington is appealing to local dog lovers who are dotty about dogs to help them find a spot in a happy home for two beautiful Dalmatians. Potential owners are welcome to visit the centre in search of their perfect pooch and meet Roger and Casper. In black and white these gorgeous boys are just looking for someone to offer them a loving home.
Clare Hopps, Dogs Trust Darlington Supporter Relations Officer explains:
Roger is an adorable three year old Dalmatian. He has unusual markings as he is black with white spots unlike Casper who has the typical while with black spots Dalmatian markings. Roger is a mischievous character who loves to play ball. He is a quick learner, especially when there are treats on offer. This gorgeous boy will make the perfect pet in the right home.”
Clare adds “Casper is a four year old Dalmatian who has not had the best start in life as he came to the centre as a stray. He is a lively boy who loves to have fun. He is a very loving lad who would like nothing better than cuddling up on the sofa with his new owners. Although both look completely different they are looking for similar homes. They need experienced owners who will be committed with their ongoing training. They also need an adult only home with no other pets so they can enjoy being the centre of attention.
Dalmatians were originally bred to run alongside horse drawn carriages and therefore have vast amounts of stamina and energy. They need lots of exercise and companionship and would suit a home where they will get lots of attention and walks.
Dogs Trust Darlington cares for around 120 abandoned and unwanted dogs at any one time. If you think Roger and Casper knock spots off other dogs and would like to give a home to either one of them or are interested in rehoming another rescue dog call the Rehoming Centre directly on 01325 333 114 or visit at Hill House Farm, Sadberge, Co Durham, DL2 1SL.
