Information on Snetterton Centre
Welcome to Snetterton Rehoming Centre
Welcome to Dogs Trust Snetterton!
Thank you for visiting our page. From here, you can read about our centre, get details of special events this year, and find out more about some of our dogs. Our kennels are full of waggy tails, all keeping their paws crossed that they will find their special home soon, so we hope you are able to come along to the centre and visit us soon.
‘Look at us Now’
‘Look at us Now’ is inspired by the many lovely happy ending stories we hear from adopters that have rehomed dogs from us. We'll keep regularly updating this slot with some of the many wonderful stories we here, so do check back for updates, or email Kate with your story if you'd like to feature your former Snetterton resident!
This month's update is about lovely Jasper, who until very recently featured as a dog in need of a home on this very page!
Sadie is a very special lady...
Perfectly petite Collie cross Sadie is on the search for a new home.
Two-year old Sadie has been with us for a little while now and has been unlucky, as yet, in finding her new forever home, but we are sure that her perfect owners are out there somewhere.
A very bright girl, Sadie really enjoys learning and would love to find owners that would like to play games & teach her new things. She has shown a keen passion for the agility equipment at the centre so would enjoy pursuing an activity such as this in her new home.
A real active lady Sadie would love a home with no other animals or children, and owners who understand Collie traits and can indulge her love of walking and the outdoors.
With a bit of time and patience, and a regular routine, Sadie will prove a very loyal and fun four legged friend.
If Sadie could be the one for you, please drop in and see us during opening hours or call 01953 498377 for more information.
RAF Police Dog Section Visit
As January came to a close Dogs Trust Snetterton was lucky enough to be visited by six volunteers from RAF Marham’s Police Dog Section. The six strong team donated a day of their time to help at the rehoming centre and took on the task of walking some of the stronger dogs, which came back from their hike looking extremely happy, and promptly spent the rest of the day sleeping it off! The guys were also very helpful in lending their strength to moving some of the heavy sacks of food. The team were keen to return to the centre again and Cpl Richard Gill may be coming back sooner than the rest as he has offered a home to Paddy the black Labrador!
Festive Fun for Four Legged Friends
After the successful Boxing Day walk Dogs Trust Snetterton held last year the rehoming centre staff wanted to extend a huge thank you to all that came along and supported us on the day. The sun shone brightly as over 200 people flocked to the rehoming centre to walk off some of the Christmas indulgencies.
Many brought their own dogs whilst others volunteered to help walk the dogs from the centre or take on other important responsibilities such as manning the dog tombola, and providing tea & tasty mince pies (courtesy of Willow Vets Norwich) for the masses of deserving walkers.
It was a great day had by all two and four legged attendees, and what’s more so far the event has raised over £1,000 for the charity with donations still coming in. So once again a big thank you to everyone that got involved and we look forward to seeing you all next year, same time, same place!
Best wishes for 2012 from everyone at Dogs Trust Snetterton

Charity Shop
We have a fantastic charity shop in Attleborough, the centre’s local town. The shop, run by a very friendly & helpful team team, helps raise vital funds, so they are always in need of clothes & bric-a-brac. If you have anything that you would like to donate to the shop, or would like to just go and browse, the shop is open Monday - Saturday between 9.30am – 4pm (closed all day Sunday).
From all of us here at Snetterton: thank you for your support.
