Why we need your support

  • Every week 1000 people are making the call to give up their dog.
  • While most dogs find a loving new home within about six weeks, some dogs need love and support for longer.
  • We rely on sponsorships to look after the 1600 dogs in our care at any one time.

Your support can make the world of difference.

Set up your sponsorship

Tell us how much you'd like to give and whether you want to give monthly or annually. For gift sponsorships we'll just need to know who to send doggy updates too.
