“Our retail manager Paul Capstick has worked very hard with his team to get the shop ready to open for the peak holiday time, and whilst it is not quite the finished article,I have to say it looks fantastic.

“As always, we need help, and Paul is looking to recruit volunteers to assist the current team so we can provide our customers with the best shopping experience possible. Anybody looking to join the team can pop in to the store or email [email protected]

“We have always had great support from the people of Alnwick, so we're delighted to bring our retail side home.”

SHAK is not a traditional rehoming centre but is always on the lookout for suitable people to take on its dogs to make their lives more fulfilling.
