Helping Pets North East


About us

Helping Pets are run by a team of dedicated volunteers, with a mission of rehabilitating and re-homing stray and unwanted animals in the North East. Helping Pets (North-East) does not have any paid members of staff. Everyone who works for, or with us, is an unpaid volunteer. We are proud of this because it means that the bulk of the money we receive, or raise, goes directly on animal rescue and care. Only a small proportion goes on anything other than the animals.

Our adoption policy

Anyone wishing to adopt one of our pets will first need to an adoption questionnaire which can be found on our website. We will then carry out a home check which will be done by one of our volunteers. Provided that we are satisfied that your home is appropriate for the pet you wish to adopt, we can at this point, finalise the adoption. £80 donation for a cat/kitten £200 donation for dog/puppy Older cats and dogs are subject to a smaller donation of £50 for cats aged 10 and over, and £150 for dogs aged 8 and over. Your donation helps with the cost of medication, neutering, microchipping, flea/worm treatment, the food and any other costs until their ‘forever home’ is found. All pets leave us microchipped, flea and worm treated. If old enough, neutering will be done before they leave, otherwise it is to be carried out at the earliest time. If one of our partnered vets is used we will cover the cost of the procedure. Dogs will also be vaccinated. You will also receive 5 weeks free insurance from Agria and vouchers for free Royal Canin food. We are unable to reserve an animal for more than 7 days.
