Welcome to Dogs Trust Darlington! We're a happy, friendly team and would love you to come and visit us at the centre to see our fantastic facilities and all the waggy tails of our doggy guests.
We first opened in 1994, and since that time we have rescued, rehabilitated and rehomed over 18,000 dogs. A big thank you to all those who have rehomed a dog and who have helped in any capacity with our work.
By public transport:
Centre is a 15/20-minute drive from Darlington train station. Take bus service number 20 (Great Stainton) to Hill House Lane. A taxi/cab service would be more reliable to and from the centre, as the number 20 bus service is limited.
By road:
A66 - take Darlington Road or Stockton Road depending on direction of travel. Parking available on site.
If you are interested in donating In Memory, have questions about our Canine Care Card service, leaving a Legacy or if you would like to book a guest speaker for your Community Group, then please get in touch with your local Supporter Relations Officer on 01325 335952 or email the Darlington team.
Donate your pre-loved items. We’re accepting pre-loved donations of treats, toys, towels and bedding (except feather duvets) via our contact-free drop off points. Signage outside will make it clear where you can drop off your donations. Please don’t leave clothing, valuables, electrical equipment, or furniture at our centre drop-off points.
We rely on your kind support to continue our vital work, please donate today.
