Dogs Trust - Save Thousands of Little Lives


Thank you very much for showing an interest for this blog, we hope you find it informing but revealing.
Fact;

Thousands of healthy dogs are put to sleep every year. Even the UK’s leading rehoming centres such as Battersea Dogs & Cats home; who just last year, put down 2,815 pets.

But what can you do about it?

The Dogs trust is the largest dog welfare charity in the UK, and they never put a healthy dog down. Their mission is to bring about the day when all dogs can enjoy a happy life, free from the threat of unnecessary destruction.
So here’s what they do in a nutshell;

• Each year they care for around 16,000 dogs at their nationwide network of 17 Rehoming Centres.
• They run subsidised neutering campaigns in areas of the UK with the most acute stray dog problems.
• Their Education Officers give thousands of classroom presentations every year. Free teaching resources are made available to all schools in the UK, to reduce the amount of abandoned dogs for the future.
• Their FREEDOM Project helps pet owners who are fleeing domestic violence by fostering their animals while they start a new life.
• The HOPE Project gives preventative veterinary care to dogs belonging to homeless people.
• They advise government on any matters concerning dog ownership
• They assist overseas animal welfare charities by training their staff in best practice.

And their work is funded 100% by donations, so if you love dogs. Please, make a donation today.

And there are lots of different ways you can help, for just £1 a week you can sponsor a dog’s trust dog, and your money will go towards looking after all of the dogs in their care. If you are currently looking for a dog to re-home, you could adopt a dog trust dog for £90, all of which will go towards looking after other dogs. Or, you could make a straight donation; for more information go to: http://www.dogstrust.org.uk/

If you already own a dog, you could join Dogs Trust and become an official member; and you can get loads of benefits for you and your dog.
