Join DAWGS Best Friend Scheme

For as little as £5 a month you can help DAWGS meet the cost of kennelling, veterinary charges, training and the many other expenses we incur finding the right forever home for all the dogs we are trying to rehome. It’s an ideal gift for dog lovers you know too – and you are not just helping one dog but all our dogs.

Which benefits will you receive as a DAWGS Best Friend?

When you become a DAWGS Best Friend you will receive our newsletter twice a year, bringing you heart warming stories of some recently rehomed dogs, information and invites to DAWGS events throughout the year.

  • Newsletter, information and invitations to DAWGS events
  • Know your money is helping keep DAWGS dogs healthy and happy
  • Join from as little as £5/month

Fundraising

DAWGS would love to hear all about your fundraising efforts. Why not get in touch with your story and it may even appear in our next newsletter or on our website.

DAWGS receives no statutory funding, nor do we receive the financial support enjoyed by other, larger organisations.

Instead, we rely on donations, legacy income, events and other fundraising efforts including income from our charity shop, to fund our re-homing service, veterinary care, kennelling, training and other vital services that ensure we can give all dogs coming to us the chance of a new start in a loving new home. Please help us to continue giving dogs a second chance.
