Our dogs never walk alone
We are urging dog owners to think ahead when it comes to making sure their faithful four-legged friend is loved and looked after if something happens to them.
Our free Canine Care Card service allows any signed up dog to be automatically cared for by us. This applies to:
- https://www.dogstrust.org.uk/how-we-help/canine-care-card-bIf their owner passes away
- Moves into a care home
- Or receives a life-changing diagnosis which means they can no longer look after their much-loved canine companion.

The Canine Care Card gives dog owners peace of mind that their dog will be loved for a lifetime. We know that the bond between an owner and their dog is entirely unique and it’s hard to imagine that anyone could love and care for their dog as much as they do. But we promise we will. We will look after them either at the centre or in one of our wonderful foster homes and when the time is right, we will find them a new home.

Lisa says:
“Chops and Jack are adorable and both full of fun. Chops has a few tricks he likes to show people and Jack is more than happy for him to steal the limelight, as long as he gets made a fuss of too. A Canine Care Card makes things so much easier for owners, their families and their dogs. Dog owners spend their lives caring for and protecting their four-legged friends; having a Canine Care Card means that that can continue, even in difficult circumstances.
If an owner expresses their wishes by having a Canine Care Card, it removes the uncertainty for owners and families and relieves some of the stress they will be experiencing at an emotional time. Also, all the information we get from the owner helps us make the transition to a new family as stress-free as possible for the dog. None of us know what’s around the corner so we would urge all dog owners to think ahead, like Chops’ and Jack’s owner did, so their dog doesn’t miss out on a minute of the love and care they deserve.”
Two dogs who are devoted to each other arrived at our Denton-based rehoming centre after their owner passed away. Affectionately known as ‘little and large’ at the centre, eleven-year-old Rottweiler-Cross, Chops, and his faithful canine companion, Jack, who is a seven-year-old Jack Russell, have been waiting more than two-months for a new home.
Despite the changes they have been through, Chops and Jack love meeting people and are very friendly so could live with children aged eight and over. They love food, so tasty treats will be a great way for their new family to build a bond with them, and they would love to settle in with a family who are around a lot as they don’t like being left home alone too much. They would also like to be the only pets so they can lap up all the love on offer.
