Darlington Dogs Trust celebrated the opening of a new rehoming centre this week following the redevelopment of their 28-year-old facility.
Over 18,000 dogs have been rescued, rehabilitated and rehomed at Darlington Rehoming Centre since it first opened its doors in May 1994. The charity said that while the shelter was still functional, it was no longer suitable for the dogs coming into their care as many have behavioural problems and anxieties.
And on Tuesday, Dogs Trust staff and their canine residents helped celebrate the official re-opening of the rehoming centre following the redevelopment which began in June 2018. The centre has a range of new facilities, including a hydrotherapy pool and underwater treadmill, and is currently the only Dogs Trust Rehoming Centre in the country to have a hydrotherapy pool which is 8,000L and heated.
