Rescued Strays 

Saving Strays is small charity working in the UK and Bosnia who aim to alleviate the suffering of stray and abandoned dogs. They are entirely managed by a wonderful team of dedicated volunteers, including UK’s friend of OAT Maria Slough and well known animal warrior and actor, Peter Egan.

 

In 2018 OAT helped to relocate100 dogs from Bosnia to their forever homes in the UK via their OAT 100 appeal. One of these dogs, Hero, who is blind, is particularly special to OAT. He is now living his best life with the Olsen family in their Surrey home.   

 

OAT provide general support for Saving Strays. This includes supporting The Final Forty campaign which aims to secure the health, wellbeing and safety of forty dogs in Saving Strays lifetime care by establishing specific facilities for them.  The 'lifers' will be given a greatly improved and safer environment to live out their natural lives, and those who are candidates for rehoming will receive help with their socialisation skills to ensure they are confident enough to travel and settle into their new adoptive homes. 

​
