Dogs like Buddy could be days away from being put down.

Thank you so much for showing up for dogs like Buddy whose whole lives depend on the continuation of our vital ambulance service. Your support means he finally has the happy place he deserves and was so close to missing.

Because you give, you are not just funding fuel, equipment, or medical supplies. You are giving an unwanted dog their first step toward a life they never thought possible. You are giving them the chance to trust and play again. To curl up in a home where they finally feel safe. You are giving them a future.

Dogs like Nutmeg. 

Nutmeg was at the pound at the same time as Buddy. With no one left in his life to tell his story, all we know is that he’d been found as a stray and brought to a pound. When no one came to claim him, his time was running out.  

Without our dog ambulance, and you, it’s very likely Nutmeg wouldn’t have lived to see Christmas. 

We drove the hundreds of miles to collect this unwanted, sweet, affectionate boy who loves nothing more than to be cuddled and save him from an unthinkable fate he simply didn’t deserve.  

You can imagine how nervous and confused Nutmeg was before getting into the ambulance, not knowing what was happening to him or where he was going. 

Our drivers like Aimee, who are so much more than simply drivers, do everything possible to reassure each dog before gently helping them into the ambulance. That’s the moment their lives are saved.

Nutmeg made the long drive to one of our rehoming centres, where he was welcomed with open arms and shown all the love and comfort he deserved.  

After settling in, Nutmeg now loves playing with his new toys – something he may not have enjoyed for a long time, or ever before. But most importantly, he is safe and never has to worry about being alone again. 

But as stray numbers rise and hundreds of dogs go unclaimed, we need you now more than ever. 

Please will you help start the next life-saving journey with a Christmas gift today? 

Donations will go towards all areas of Dogs Trust's work and help care for dogs where the need is greatest.
