Staffy And Stray Rescue

🚀 Location: 1516 Wimborne Rd, Kinson, Bournemouth BH11 9AE

🏷 Summary: Meet Staffie and Stray Rescue - the home of the affectionate 'Nanny Dog'. Their mission is to save all our furry friends, especially those that are considered in the rescue world “harder to rehome” - those poor pooches that have been dumped or unclaimed.

They provide medical care and lots of love until they find their furever homes, even if that means going further afield! The rescue also works to change people’s attitudes towards Staffies (who BorrowMyDoggy knows are gorgeous and pawfect by the way!) by campaigning for more people to adopt them.
