Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter

Newcastle Cat & Dog Shelter - Barking up the RIGHT tree with Wodehouse!

Since 1896 Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter has been a lifeline for the region’s lost, abandoned and mistreated animals, reuniting pets with their families and finding loving new homes for thousands more each year. Rooted in the mission to “save lives across the North East,” the organisation is guided by five clear values - Compassion, Commitment, Adaptability, Support and Enjoyment - which shape everything from hands-on animal care to community outreach programmes and educational events.

Wodehouse Marketing brings more than two decades of award-winning direct-mail craftsmanship and integrated creative design to the charity sector. Its Manchester-based team specialises in donor acquisition and retention, marrying data-driven targeting with vivid storytelling to maximise return on every campaign pound - a reputation earned through long-standing partnerships with many of the UK’s best-loved causes.

That blend of purpose and proven performance dovetails perfectly with Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter’s ethos. Wodehouse’s end-to-end service - covering data processing, print production, postage optimisation and GDPR-compliant fulfillment - means the Shelter can focus on what matters most: animals and supporters. By weaving the Shelter’s values and rescue stories into eye-catching direct-mail appeals, warm newsletters and various on-brand assets, Wodehouse will amplify the voice of kindness that already resonates from Benton North Farm.

Together, the Shelter’s compassion and Wodehouse’s creative rigour create a powerful platform: personalised appeal packs that convert empathy into action, visually engaging newsletters that nurture long-term donor loyalty, and cohesive multi-channel campaigns that carry the Shelter’s mission far beyond the shelter’s gates. It is a partnership built to save more lives, inspire more supporters and share more joyful “forever-home” stories across the North East and beyond.
