Registered charity 1118246 · accounts filings on the Charity Commission register

We take in dogs aged 7 and over and place them into foster homes until new homes can be found for them. Those that cannot be rehomed due to health/behavioural issues stay in permanent foster care and we cover their costs for life. We give lifetime back up and support to all dogs we take in. We cover all veterinary costs whilst the dogs are in foster care.
