Advantages: great fun for children and helps a needy animal

Disadvantages: none

I had never realy heard of the dogs trust up untill a few months ago when we got a knock at the door, it was a representative from the dogs trust looking for people to sign up to sponsor a dog from them and to donate money to them each month.

Well being a big animal lover how could i say no, so we agreed to it and signd up, you get to pick a dog from a choice of about 16 dogs to sponsor, i should imagine the money goes to all different dogs but you have to choose your own one, we chose our dog to sponsor and filled in the form.

The form is quick and simple to do and you need to give all your details including your bank details for a direct debit to be set up.

After signing up we were left with a leaflet and a bookmark from the dogs trust.

You get a letter about 10 days later from the dog you have sponsored, not literaly but they write it as if the dog is writing to you and if you want too or have children who want to like my 6 year old does you can write to your dog and he writes back to you, my daughter sends her dog a letter each week then eagerly awaits the post for his reply, she genuinly thinks he realy writes to her.

The donation is £8 a month out of my bank account and for this i get the pleasure of knowing i have helped a dog in need and seeing the joy it gives to my daughter is even better. You first donation doesnt go out of your account untill 2 months after the sign up date so there is a good cooling off period with this and you can cancel at any time if your circumstances change.

I would thouroughly recomensd anyone donating to these but especialy if you have a child who would be as excited by this as mine are.

Summary: great fun and helps a needy animal
