All About UsRescue Rangers was set up approx 16 years ago, to work a alongside Rotherham Dog Warden Service. Fay and Christine were dog wardens and came across many people who could not afford to neuter their dogs, many roamed because they were not neutered and were picked up by the dog warden service. Often people could not afford to claim the dogs, so it made sense to neuter the dogs to stop them roaming and to stop unwanted litters of puppies. The Dog Warden Service decided to hold a Jumble Sale and put the proceeds into a neutering fund. When someone was advised to have their dog neutered and they could not afford it, the Dog Warden Service gave them a voucher towards half of the cost. It was hard work raising the funds but it was well worth it. In the early years of being a dog warden we would often get calls about a bitch in season running the streets with a pack of male dogs after her. Today in 2007 we can't remember last time we got such a call. At one of the Jumble Sales, we came up with the name "Rotherham Rescue Rangers". There was also a need to help people to neuter cats, find homes for kittens and also to help feral cats and kittens in and around the area of Rotherham. Today the Dogs Trust helps Rescue Rangers out with vouchers to have our rescued dogs neutered free of charge. They can also help people who are on certain benefits. We think The Dogs Trust just about saved Rescue Rangers from going into the red, as when we applied for help from them we were down to our last couple of hundred pounds in the bank. We were finding it so hard to work full time and also raise the money in our spare time to help everyone that needed it.
