Why your donation matters

About Dogs Trust

Founded in 1891, Dogs Trust (formerly the National Canine Defence League) is the largest dog welfare charity in the UK. Our mission is to bring about the day when all dogs can enjoy a happy life, free from the threat of unnecessary destruction.

We run subsidised neutering campaigns in areas of the UK with the most acute stray dog problems.

Our Education Officers give thousands of classroom presentations every year. Free teaching resources are made available to all schools in the UK.

We advise government on any matters concerning dog ownership.

We have established a charity in Ireland that runs a rehoming centre in Dublin.

We assist overseas animal welfare charities by training their staff in best practice.

Some things you never knew about Dogs Trust find more here http://dogstrustblog.blogspot.com/2011/08/ten-things-you-might-not-know-about.html

  1. We have outreach programmes to help owners in housing crisis and fleeing domestic violence

The Hope Project helps owners who are homeless or in housing crisis ensure that they can keep their dogs with them. While the Freedom Project arranges homing for dogs so that women fleeing domestic violence can do so without worrying their pets will suffer.

  1. We have a special home just for older dogs: Oakfield Oldies Regular sponsors might be aware of the Oakfield Oldies, but not everyone is!

  2. Our kennels have evolved Over the years we've learned more about the comfort and behaviour of dogs, and kennel design has changed as a result.

  3. There are no kennels in our London head office! There are a few dogs in the office, but they are all regular attendees with their owners.
