About Doris Banham Dog Rescue

Doris Banham Dog Rescue was founded in memory of Doris Banham and is driven by the belief that all life deserves respect, love, and compassion. The charity is dedicated to rescuing dogs most at risk of euthanasia, particularly forgotten pound dogs on death row in UK council pounds where unclaimed dogs can be put to sleep after just seven days. Special focus is given to dogs that other rescues often cannot help, including older dogs, those with medical or behavioural needs, and misunderstood breeds. Run entirely by unpaid volunteers and funded solely through donations and grants, 100% of funds go directly toward saving lives, with over 15,000 dogs rescued to date. The charity currently rehabilitates and rehomes dogs through kennels in Nottinghamshire and emergency boarding, never giving up until each dog finds the loving home they deserve.

SexMale
AgeUnknown
BreedCrossbreed

Please meet our cheerful gorgeous crossbreed, a very happy boy with a tail that just won’t stop wagging!Poor Adey was kept outside in -5 degrees without any shelter sitting on a concrete step begging to be let into the kitchen.He was kept alive by a neighbour throwing food over the fence, who raised the alarm.He got the name Adey because his neighbour who kept him alive was called Adrian. The community asked for our help.He loves being around people and, while he might be a bit strong on the lead at first, he settles down quickly. That said, he does appreciate having his personal space when out and about and isn't a fan of being crowded.Adey really enjoys starting games, is ball obsessed and has an enthusiastic spirit, which shows he could benefit from a little extra training.Just a heads up - he’s definitely not a fan of rainy days!He would thrive best in a home without other pets, as he can be a bit reactive towards other dogs

BreedAkita

Bear came into our care as a terrified and disorientated pup. After being attacked by his parents at the breeders and nearly dying he has passed through 3 homes. The last being a home with 3 young children where he growled at the father on the day he arrived and the police were called and he was poled and marked for destruction at the police kennels. He wasn't vaccinated because he wasn't going to live. He had been in the police kennels for 2 weeks when we picked him up and he still reeked of cannabis.Bear will need several visits so he can gain trust with you and will need to go to an adult only home.

Bella at OEH is a lovely confident dog with people once she is comfortable with you (she needs time to get to know you because she’s basically just a big scared baby).It doesn’t take long for her to realise you’re not a threat then she asks you for cuddles & treats.She is very strong on the lead and can be scared of some things when out on a walk (like loud noises etc, we’re not sure if she was walked much previously).She loves playing with water and trying to bite it.Bella is a beautiful girl and with a confident person willing to give her the time she needs to settle & grow her world she’s going to be a perfect companion.

My name is Blaze. Sadly my Mum was not well enough to look after me and she was waiting to have an operation. She was very sad when I had to leave.I needed quite a lot of retraining but I listened and decided to be a good boy.I love my walks and lots of fussing and playing with my toys. If you throw me a ball I will bring it back to you. My team say I am a very nice caring dog.Are you the one who can complete my jigsaw and give me a home that will be forever this time? I need you to patiently continue with my training. If you can be my special family, I will reward you with all my love and loyalty.

Brandy

Nottinghamshire
SexFemale
Age11 years
BreedLurcher

Brandy is a female Lurcher x Great Dane. She gets on well with other dogs and has benefitted from the training programme undertaken in the kennels to build up trust with adults.She is now much more friendly with the kennels team. Born in January 2015 Brandy walks lovely on the lead. There have been no issues in the kennels, but she can be nervous of strangers. Brandy is not a Great Dane size. She is a little smaller than a greyhound, classed as a medium sized dog.Not much is known of Brandy’s past apart from that she was at risk of being euthanised. Maybe it was linked to her unpredictability towards people, which has now improved due to her training programme.Looking towards a positive future – Brandy is now ready to live her best life! Brandy is a lovely dog. Several visits to the kennels will be required to build up a relationship of trust and confidence with Brandy. Conversations would need to take place with regard to any older children/young people in the household.

But he was badly beaten up and he still bears the emotional scars.We have mended him as much as we can and he has come such a long way but now he needs a loving home dedicated to righting the wrongs that have been done to him and being there just for him.He needs to be around people all the time and the only dog in the family. He is strong on the lead and will need a fenced secure environment. Also he tends to chew so would not suit anyone too houseproud!

He obeys his commands and loves his treats and his toys which keep him amused all the time. He is always happy to see everyone and really wants to please.Could you be the special someone who can fill Bruce's void. It would be so wonderful if you were.
