Welcome Welcome to a fresh new look for Northern Tails! 2015 was inevitably a very difficult year for us. Following the fire, there was an incredible amount of work to be done before we could even start making plans for the new centre and the creaking infrastructure of the home also presented its own challenges. Despite everything though, we are proud to have still helped thousands of dogs get back to their own homes or find new forever homes. So, what about 2016?! We’ve already replaced the outdated electrics in our stray blocks and our totally refurbished block 5 has just opened to the public as our adoption centre while we wait for planning permission to be granted for our new state-of-the-art centre - turn over for more details! 2016 is set to be a busy and exciting time for us - but none of it would have been possible without your support. THANK YOU again for everything you have helped us to achieve so far. The ‘new and improved’ Manchester & Cheshire Dogs’ Home will continue to help thousands of dogs and, with your continued support, will come through 2016 stronger than ever!
