Saltburn Animal Rescue Association. A small charity seeking to rescue and re-home cats and dogs, Tel: 01287 201005 (weekdays only). SARA has many dogs and cats that need new homes. All are clean, healthy, neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Morning everyone! My name is Chas. Before I tell you about me I want to tell you two pieces of great news. Jake from last month now has a new foster home which is just what he needed and Max who featured twice in Talk of the Town last year and was in kennels for two whole years now has a wonderful new home just as he deserves. He has firmly got his paws under the table, lucky old Max. So how about a really good result for me? I haven’t had a brilliant life as basically I was unwanted and got used as a toy by the people who should have cared for me. I have been with SARA for a while now and am really, really improving. I still love people despite the rough treatment I got but truthfully I do need to bond with one or two special people so I get to know them and feel safe. That way I can take it gently and learn to trust properly. When I first came to SARA I hadn’t really met any other dogs and they scared me so I barked and postured a bit but I am improving. I even went on the SARA dog walk with lots of people and other dogs and I was really good. Incidentally I had a smashing time doing it too. The key was that I was with someone I knew and trusted and so I didn’t need to be scared and if a chap isn’t scared he has a good time and if he has a good time he behaves impeccably. I think you can guess what comes next. I need a special home with people who will love me and make me feel safe. For chaps like me this doesn’t mean spoiling me rotten; it means caring for me, letting me know the rules and looking after me. I want a home where I am wanted and can
get my paws under the table, somewhere to belong and know I’m safe and doing the right thing. I am eager to please and well behaved when I know what’s what. I think it might be better not to have young people around. A nice quiet home where the humans know how a dog needs to be treated and cared for would be best. So please, pretty please, think about taking me in. I am about two and a half and it’s time I had my own home with my own people. The SARA people are lovely but it isn’t the same as a home and from the stories I’ve heard about good homes I think they must be wonderful places to be. I will be loyal, loving and lots of fun to have around and as you can tell, I’m good at charity walks. Thanks for listening. Love, Chas.
