TOP 10 WAYS TO HELP A HOPE RESCUE DOG IN 2019 - #10 ADOPT
Arguably, the best way to help a rescue dog is to welcome them into your family. It's a truly rewarding experience and we know that you will get much more out than the effort that you put in.
Whilst we do have some basic adoption criteria, they are guidelines as opposed to blanket policies. We try to be flexible to match the needs of the individual dog and the suitability of the home offered. Each dog will have its ow...n specific requirements for a new home and this will be detailed in their adoption information.
For details of the dogs currently available for adoption, please click the Dogs tab above and for more information about the adoption process, please read at http://www.hoperescue.org.uk/dogs/adoptin g-a-hope-rescue-dog.

TOP 10 WAYS TO HELP A RESCUE DOG IN 2019 - #9 TAKE ON A NEW CHALLENGE
Take on the challenge of a lifetime and skydive for Hope! A tandem skydive is the ideal first jump – you will experience the thrill of freefall and enjoy a high performance canopy ride whilst attached to a fully qualified instructor.
You will be jumping from up to 12,000 feet. It takes around 15 minutes for the aircraft to reach altitude so you will have time to relax and enjoy the spectacular views. You w...ill be freefalling at 120mph for about 45 seconds. Your instructor will deploy the parachute by 5,000 feet. The parachute has dual controls so you can aid the instructor by spiralling the parachute around the sky. All in all it is an experience guaranteed to take your breath away.

ROOM GLORIOUS ROOM.
Here is our new layout at the Charity Shop. As you can see it has created a much larger, more customer friendly, shopping environment. Including a far more family friendly kids area. We now have room for 3 extra clothes rails and even more shoes, all these things mean hopefully more money going back to the centre to help the things we love most, our four (or sometimes three) legged friends.
Thanks you again to Jade, Claire, Linda and Amy for all their help yesterday.
