PROPOSALS have been revealed for a countryside sanctuary for up to 80 rescue dogs on the outskirts of an East Lancashire town. The development at Clough Bottom Farm Broad Oak Road on the way out of Accrington would demolish existing run-down buildings to create a home-style environment for the animals. Emma Billington of Salford-based Dogs4Rescue (D4R) has applied for planning permission to create a sanctuary complex with an eventual eight staff on site 24 hours a day, The not for profit Community Interest Company established in 2013 has successfully rehomed 1,500 dogs. The charity also provides a home to dogs who cannot be re-homed or ‘sanctuary dogs’.
