Caring for approximately 15,000 homeless dogs in the UK, the Dog’s Trust is one of the UK’s leading charities for dogs.  Throughout its network of re-homing centres the Dog’s Trust aims to seek out loving homes for these dogs however in some instances this is not possible and there is a percentage of dogs that due to issues such as behavioural problems can ‘stick’ at one of the centres indefinitely.  The Dog’s Trust nicknames these dogs as ‘sticky’.

One of the most wonderful things about the trust is that it refuses to put down a healthy dog and in the case of ‘sticky’ dogs they have a home at the re-homing centres for the duration of their lives.  You have the opportunity of helping these dogs by donating money towards their upkeep.  For those people out there with their own healthy dog, this can be the perfect way to contribute to the health of other dogs not so fortunate.

Clarissa Baldwin, chief exec of the Dog’s Trust commented:

 ‘These dogs may not be suitable as pets, but they’ve got loads of love to give – and you’ll have a friend for life.  We receive no government funding and depend on the generosity of the public.’

It costs a mere £1.00 per week and you will be contributing towards pet insurance, food and training.  You get to hear about the progress of your sponsored ‘sticky’ dog plus free gifts and photos.  To support the cause ring the Dog’s Trust on 0207 837 0006
