A few years ago (when it was the NCDL) I adpoted a little Staffordshire Bull Terrier from the Dogs Trust in Kenilworth, it was the best thing I have ever done. When we picked our dog, we had to go to an evening class just to ensure that we knew what we were letting ourselves in for, they then came and did a quick assessment of our house, just to check fences were high enough and that we had suitable accomadation to keep a dog. We passed all of the assessments. Our dog was about 6 when we got her so they said that she can be left on her own while we were at work (which is something the RSPCA doesn't allow!). When we got her she had been trained, ...  Read the complete review

I personally work with dogs and anyone working in rescue etc. would agree that we all have a lot to thank the Dog's Trust for. They have helped to rehome so many dogs and have prevented the birth of undoubtedly a huge number of unwanted puppies with their subsidised neutering scheme. they have also done wonders to increase awareness of abandoned dogs and unwanted puppies with their publicity campaigns. they also directly help dogs by taking in dogs from pounds etc who would otherwise be in danger of being put down. they do their best to assess all dogs that they rehome to make sure they are as described and to match the right dog with the right family so ...  Read the complete review

I have been brought up with dogs of all types throughout my life , and so can be called a doggie person , however , I am against cruelty to all animals and am glad I dont work for the animal charities as I would be unable to keep my temper seeing some of the abuse pets have to suffer .

Dogs Trust - give an abandoned pooch a home. If you have read my introduction that says a little about me and my family, you will know over the summer we 'adopted' a border collie cross from our local dogs trust centre. My daughter (now 7) had been asking for a dog since she was two, but she was deemed to young at that time. She pestered us for months and years, she just never gave in. She even had a name - Bubbles. Probably about May time, we felt the time was right, that the children were old enough and responsible enough. We decided July would be the best so we could get it to do it's 'business' outside as the doors would be open ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review
