£35.80 could pay for the cost of looking after a dog for a day at one of our rehoming centres
£150 could go towards helping our Behaviour Support Line team answer more calls to provide guidance and assistance to owners in need
£350 could help us provide care for a whole week, including any vet care they might need
£500 could cover the cost of all the essential care for 5 dogs during their first week with us.
We're grateful for every single penny raised by our amazing supporters. Every donation makes a huge impact and helps make tomorrow's world a better place for all dogs.
How to fundraise
Once you've registered and signed up for your chosen event, we recommend setting up and personalising your online fundraising page to collect donations.
Signing up will automatically create you a branded fundraising page - no extra steps needed.
If you prefer, you can use an different online fundraising platform such as Just Giving. All funds collected will be transferred to Dogs Trust directly from your online page when you link your page to Dogs Trust when prompted.
