Where it all started

The kennels in Fremantle Road were originally the Police pound for stray dogs.


In 1979 two sisters, Muriel and Iris Castle, who had been joint secretaries of the RSPCA in Great Yarmouth, together with people of like minds, approached the police with a view to taking over the running of the pound.


This was agreed and initially a great deal of time was spent raising money to refurbish the kennels, and subsequently, mainly through legacies, we were able to purchase the kennels and bring them up to a more satisfactory condition.

David Carter

Kennel Manager & Trustee


David has been volunteering at the kennels for 9 years, in his time at NASAT he has been Deputy Kennel Manager and for the past two years has been Kennel Manager.
