SHAK isn’t like any other dog charity. They are different because they help the dogs that really need it the most. Unlike the majority of dog rescues, SHAK isn’t a rehoming centre; instead they offer sanctuary to abused, mistreated and neglected dogs that have suffered so badly at the hands of humans that they need somewhere to start their lives all over again. All their dogs are either strays or destruction cases from vets or pounds.

SHAK doesn't actively seek homes for their dogs. After spending time in their care, some of the souls they save move on to other more specialised rehoming Charities that SHAK has developed a trusted working relationship with; a few others go through our own Forever Foster scheme. However, some are so badly damaged that the only option they have is to stay with SHAK. Either way there is no pressure on the dog. All of our work is done in their time.....
