Doris Banham was a dedicated animal lover throughout her life who sadly died in November 2001. The following year in June 2002 her daughter, Trudie James, decided to honour her life and dedication to animals by establishing The Doris Banham Sanctuary.
The charity was set up to help all animals, but as we became increasingly aware of the heart breaking needless destruction of unclaimed dogs in dog pounds, we vowed to help them and the charity has developed to provide an essential life saving rescue service for these forgotten dogs.

We are a non-profit organisation and rely totally on fundraising and donations to save these animals.
This poem was written by Trudie in the middle of the night with 10 dogs due to die at a pound in the morning as a tribute to them as she prayed for a miracle to be able to save them. No rescue offers had come for them despite an exhaustive search and the pound had a strict 7 day destruction rule. It was during this night that she made the decision to find them emergency boarding kennels to save their lives and since then emergency boarding kennels funded by Doris Banham have saved thousands of lives. Please help us to continue doing this either by donating or by volunteering your time. Please ring Trudie on 07597049231 if you would like to help save a pound dogs life.- a pound dog like Elsa below who we rescued this week. Elsa is 13 years old and only had hours to live when Doris Banham agreed to take her
