We’re endlessly grateful for every penny donated by our generous supporters. Your donations make a real difference to the dogs in our care and help us achieve our goal of making the world a better place for dogs everywhere.  

Here’s just a snapshot of the impact your donations have.  

You help us be there for owners, every step of the walk

Your support makes our life-changing and lifesaving programmes like Hope and Freedom possible. It's thanks to you that we're able to get help to struggling owners through food banks, emergency veterinary funds and with finding pet friendly housing.

It also helps us to keep dogs and owners together by funding the development of our advice, videos, and training tips to help owners find the answers they might need to some of the issues they’re facing. And, our behaviour services which  rovide support when owners are feeling overwhelmed.

20,000 owners

have received help through our behaviour services

You help us revolutionise rehoming

Making sure that every dog in our care finds a loving new home as quickly as possible is one of our biggest priorities, so when one of our long-stay residents - our underdogs - finally finds a forever home we couldn't be more delighted!

Your donations help us ensure that our centres are state-of-the-art, with tip-top facilities. They also help pay for our incredible staff members, from canine carers to training and behaviour experts. And to support our fantastic volunteer foster carers who care for the dogs who struggle in kennels or need a little extra support.

Last year

we provided care for 11,374 dogs without homes

Your donations help us to achieve all of this, and so much more. From all the dogs in our care – thank you.
