Some of the dogs in our care become very stressed by unfamiliar people and situations. To give these dogs the happy life they deserve, we have to ensure they have a comfortable and familiar routine.
With some of the dogs listed as visitable, including Amy, Zac, Monica and Shane, visits do not involve interaction with the dog but sponsors are able to see the dogs in their kennel.
Dogs Trust Sponsor a Dog is a co-sponsorship scheme with a number of people sponsoring each dog. Your money will go towards helping all the dogs in our care, including the dog you have chosen to sponsor.
Yes. If signing up online, please register using your details and then tick the 'Gift’ box on the 'Selected Dogs' screen (the third screen in the process). The gift recipient will then receive all of the sponsorship details in their name.
If completing the paper form, please put your details at the top of the form, and the gift recipient's details in box number 3.
Your sponsor dog will send you updates three times a year; at Christmas, Valentines day, and again in the summertime.
No, sponsor dogs don't send birthday cards but you will receive a Valentines card and a card at Christmas.
While Direct Debit is the cheapest and easiest way of making your contributions, you can also pay via the post by cheque, postal order, CAF or online by credit card. Where possible please try and make your payments using these methods on an annual basis to help us keep administration costs down.
If you cannot send a cheque, please send your contributions by postal order (available at the Post Office) rather than cash as cash can easily be lost or stolen in the post. Please be sure to place your name, address and supporter number (if known) on the back of every payment that you send to us so that we can identify whom it is from.
Your sponsorship contributions are used to help all the dogs in our care. The money goes towards food for the dogs, training and medical care - all with the ultimate goal of finding each dog a loving home.
Signing up for sponsorship online will require direct debit or credit card details. If you want to send your contribution by cheque or postal order, please click the following link to download an application form that you can print and send to us with your payment.
Yes. This section tells us how much you wish to pay, and how often we can expect to receive these payments from you.
We try to contact sponsors we have not heard from but it costs us less in administration costs if you sponsor by direct debit - this also helps us to plan our funds for the future.
No. If you are completing the Direct Debit form online, please press the ‘proceed’ button, and we will instruct your bank for you.
If you are completing the paper form, please post it directly to us and we will pass it to your bank.
You do not have to supply us with your telephone number but by doing so it will allow us to contact you with any future Dogs Trust or Sponsor A Dog information.
This will help us to know more about you and send you news from the Dogs Trust that will be relevant to you (e.g. we try to exclude children from our appeal mailings).
Please contact the Sponsor A Dog team on 020 7837 0006 and we'll be happy to help you set up your dog sponsorship.
