Is Dogs Trust anything to do with NCDL?

Yes, we are the same charity. Dogs Trust changed its name in October 2003 to reflect more accurately the work we do today, and most importantly to get ‘dog’ in our name.

What does Dogs Trust do?

Dogs Trust is the UK’s largest dog welfare charity and cares for over 12,500 dogs every year. We are working towards the day when all dogs can enjoy a happy life, free from the threat of unnecessary destruction.

Where are your centres?

We have 17 Rehoming Centres as well as 2 mobile units and various other staff in the field, all working towards a common aim.

Are you just a rehoming charity?

NO. Dogs Trust does so much more than just rehoming. We work hard for the welfare of all dogs in the UK and abroad where funds allow. Our other work includes:

• Microchipping
• Neutering
• Education
• Lobbying
• International Companion Animal Welfare Conference – to promote animal welfare across the world and to share ideas.
• SOS Oradea – a scheme to help stray dogs in Romania

What is your policy on…?

We have set policies on many dog related issues. We also provide statements on recent new items which can be found in our news releases section.

Can you comment on….?

Although we cannot comment on individual cases that we are not involved in, we can offer general comment on most dog related situations. Our qualified spokespeople are always available for interview. And furthermore, if we can’t help you we will endeavour to pass you the details of someone who can.

Who are your spokespeople?

Our main spokespeople are our Chief Executive, Veterinary Director and Regional Managers. If you are looking for something more specific we do employ a whole host of experts who will be happy to talk about relevant subjects. If you are interested in having a Dogs Trust contribution, please contact us and we will find you the right person for your subject matter.

How can I arrange an interview?

All requests for interviews should be directed through the press office in the first instance. We have a dual band ISDN line in our London office on which we can offer radio interviews. We are also happy to accommodate filming at all of our centres and London office by prior arrangement.
