DAWGS
Best Friend Scheme
Giving up a dog can be one of the hardest decisions to make. For
some, illness, frailty, bereavement or a change in family circumstances
leave no alternative. That’s where DAWGS helps.
DAWGS is a registered charity that finds loving
new homes for dogs in such situations. Our
dedicated rehoming team make the transition as
easy as possible - carefully matching prospective
new owners, doing home checks and follow up
checks just to be doubly sure. And once a
DAWGS dog – always a DAWGS dog – we are
there to help throughout the lifetime of the dog.
We accept dogs of all ages, breeds and sizes.
While puppies may be easy to rehome,
sometimes older dogs or those with ongoing
conditions are not.
In emergency situations we fund veterinary care,
kennelling or foster care until a new home is
found.
Some dogs require one-off veterinary treatments
and others require ongoing care for the rest of
their lives. Because of this, in some instances,
we face ongoing costs over many years.
We are prepared to do this because, like all other
dog lovers, we sincerely want all dogs, large or
small, young or old, pedigree pooch or Heinz57,
to have the best possible chance to give love
and be loved for the rest of their days.
It costs over £350 to rehome every
dog – more if kennelling or veterinary
care is required. We receive no
statutory funding and rely on our
own fundraising efforts along with
support from dog lovers like you
to keep our service going.
Through our DAWGS Best
Friend Scheme, for as little
as £5 a month, you can help
DAWGS to meet the costs
of kennelling, veterinary
charges and the many
other expenses incurred in finding new homes
for dogs which, for one reason or another, can
no longer be looked after by their owners.
Over 4000 dogs of all ages have already found
loving new homes through DAWGS. Please help
us help even more.
In return for your generosity, we will keep you
