Will you help keep best friends together?

With cold weather continuing, dogs and owners urgently need your help.

Every day, thousands of dogs and their owners face the devastating reality of homelessness. For many, their dog is their family - the one constant when life turns upside down. 

But with only 10% of homelessness services accepting dogs, these cherished bonds are at risk of being heartbreakingly torn apart. Our Together Through Homelessness initiative is a lifeline for families in crisis. It exists to keep dogs and their loving owners together, no matter the challenges they face. 

Please don’t let homelessness push best friends apart. Your gift could provide the vital support they need to stay safe and warm together.

After losing their home, Tiny and Mike lived in a freezing car for a year. Mike skipped meals to ensure Tiny was fed, but with a limited amount of dog-friendly accommodation available, they had nowhere else to go.

With the help of our loyal supporters, Tiny was able to receive the veterinary care he needed and allowed Mike to find a safe place where they could stay together. Without this support, Tiny and Mike’s bond could have been tragically broken.

Many owners experiencing homelessness simply can’t afford to treat their dogs when they fall ill. Your donation can help cover essential veterinary treatments, ensuring no owner has to choose between their dog’s health and keeping them by their side. 

Your support can help us work with homelessness services across the UK, providing them with the resources, training, and equipment needed to welcome dogs and their owners. 

From warm bedding and coats to food and treats, your kind donation could provide the basics that keep dogs healthy, comfortable, and safe during their toughest days.

We believe every dog, just like Tiny, deserves the chance to stay with their loving owner. If you do too, please give a gift today to help protect special bonds like Tiny and Mike’s.

Thank you. 

Donations will go towards all areas of Dogs Trust's work and help care for dogs where the need is greatest.
