Our aim is to get as many of these Akitas as possible into ’safe’ kennels and ultimately into new forever homes. In addition to helping stray dogs we also assist Akitas whose owners can no longer keep them for a variety of reasons. We rescue and rehome any Akita which needs it, through assessing both the dog and potential owners to ensure a well-matched and long lasting, happy relationship. We take in Akitas of all ages, the young, the elderly and everyone in between, we also take in Akitas that are ill and need veterinary attention.

We are a completely voluntary Charity with a voluntary management team to oversee the day to day running of the rescue and we are supported by a fabulous team of nationwide volunteers who we would be lost without. Together we have saved countless Akitas and sadly there will be many more that we are still to meet.

Based in the UK, Miracle's Mission is dedicated to helping animals worldwide with our TNRM (trap, neuter, release, manage) and education projects taking place in Borneo, Malaysia. For every animal that is released back to their place of collection we monitor and manage their progress. They are only ever released to areas of safety where they have regular feeders and people looking out for them. We will NEVER release an animal back to their original place of rescue if the place is unsafe.

Our released animals have regular feeders and informers to let us know if any medical attention is ever needed, in which case we will be right back to help. We also rescue, rehabilitate and re-home disabled dogs and cats from across the world. The dogs and cats are rehabilitated with surgeries, prosthetic legs, wheels, physiotherapy and hydrotherapy.

Founded in 1993 we have been rescuing stray dogs for over 22 years and are still as committed today as we always have been. With so many abandoned and unwanted dogs entering kennels every day we are committed to finding loving homes for all of our dogs. We are a no-kill shelter who believe that second hand dogs make first class friends, and we work around the clock to raise funds to care for the dogs in our care while we search for their perfect forever home.

All of the money we raise goes directly to our charity, but we can only carry on the work we do with the help of people’s generosity. We do not claim expenses for our work, our payment is seeing the dogs in our care transferred to a forever home and becoming part of a family where they are loved.

We are primarily volunteer based and are very fortunate to have such a dedicated team. They always go the extra mile for every dog in our care and love each and every one of them like their own. As well as our kennel volunteers, we have our fantastic fundraisers and fosterers- not forgetting our fabulous staff!

We have successfully rehomed hundreds of dogs who are now living their best lives in their new homes. We do not operate a 'get them in, get them out' policy, we want our dogs to find a home for life. We have a robust adoption process to ensure this. We also offer extensive post adoption support and full rescue back up for life- we are always here for our adopters, regardless of time passed.

In the shelters overcrowding, hunger, disease and fights are commonplace. The only possible way to escape this hell is to find a suitable adopter, likely in a foreign country. Our dedicated team of unpaid carers have been haunted by the plight of Romanian dogs and are committed to doing everything we possibly can for these poor souls.

Again, our estimation is that last year we spent around £50,000 on food, necessities and vet bills. All of which has to be raised through the Charity Shop, donations and fundraising events. Last year we held our 2nd annual Fun Day which took place in August and it was a massive success, even bigger and better than the previous year, the day raised over £4,000 for the animals in our care!

The charity relies solely on the kindness of their supporters and community.

Broken Biscuits is a disabled animal advocacy organisation, seeking to remove barriers to these animals pursuing active and healthy lives. Too often their lives are put into question due to the circumstances surrounding them, rather than the injury that has occurred. We wish to support carers, to guide them with post injury care.

Our successful Roll Model campaign, run by our education team, demonstrates the potential of life post injury, removing some of the misconceptions and fears that so often cause pet parents to end their existence.

Just like with disabled humans, a life changing injury or illness need not be a life ending one. We work to promote the many options available to treat and rehabilitate injured animals and restore their mobility so that they can return to active lives.

From that moment Heather KNEW she had to do something different and she founded SSDR - who rescue sled dog breeds NO MATTER WHAT!

We are a registered, nationwide charity run by experienced staff who aim to help as many unwanted, neglected or stray Siberian Huskies and Alaskan Malamutes through the process of fostering, rehabilitating and re-homing, or simply by supporting their owners with help and advice. The team work alongside other rescue organisations, dog pounds and dog wardens to help ensure that all sled dogs are re-homed in the BEST possible environment which suits each dogs needs.

At present, many of these dogs have been purchased or bred by people who have little understanding of the needs or these wonderful breeds. Whilst some of the dogs who come into our care do so for genuine reasons, the majority come from puppy farms, back yard breeders and uninformed owners who lack knowledge BEFORE purchasing on of these dogs. Through our educational visits and working demonstrations we hope to improve the future for these dogs, whilst we try to help the ones who need us now through re-homing and one-to-one support.

As well as rescuing sled dogs in the UK, our goal is to continually educate novice owners, breed admirers, supporters and the general public in the UK to help build a better understanding of these incredible breeds. We do this through our social media platforms, our website, through educational visits and one-to-one - including participating in public working and handling demonstrations.

At Saints Sled Dog Rescue, we pride ourselves in ALWAYS putting a dogs life first ensuring we never turn a dog away and giving ALL dogs a chance at a new life regardless of their age, health or behavioural difficulties. We offer every dog rescue backup for life which means they can come back to us any time in the future and 24-hour support for sled dog owners, fosterers and adopters.

All dogs that come into SSDR are neutered, vaccinated, assessed and medically cleared BEFORE leaving for their forever homes. We do take in dogs with special behavioural needs which means that we have to ensure that all homes are assessed correctly to match a home to the DOGS needs.

Foal Farm animal rescue centre is a registered charity based at Biggin Hill in Kent. Its aim is to take in as many sick, distressed and unwanted animals as possible and restore them to health and happiness. The animals are kept on a 26 acre farm where they are neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and given any other medical assistance necessary. Dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and other small animals are then placed in secure and loving vetted homes. Horses, donkeys, cows, pigs, sheep, goats, chickens, ducks and geese spend their natural lives at Foal Farm. No healthy animal is ever destroyed, and if no home can be found, the animal becomes a resident for the rest of its life.

Foal Farm relies entirely on voluntary contributions, legacies and money made from fund raising events.

The group decided from the beginning that not only was there a need of a rescue and rehoming service, but also the fact that the breed needed a body who would be able to give unbiased opinions to the general public on the welfare and health aspects of this wonderful breed.

At this point in time the number of Akitas being taken into care is growing day by day, which is of great concern to all of us at the Trust. The only way we feel we can reverse this trend is to go forward with our education program in the hope that this may save the lives of some of our magnificent dogs.

We work nationwide, not only with owners, but with council pounds and other rescues. Everyone involved with JAWT has a genuine love and concern for the welfare of the breed and works on a voluntary basis. We receive no public funding and rely solely on fundraising and donations from our supporters.

We are not a charity that just takes in nice fluffy, easy to home dogs. We judge every dog on temperament and character and work hard to match each dog to the right home. Before any dog is rehomed we carry out home checks with potential new owners, and each dog is neutered, either before leaving us or within six months of being rehomed. We have a non-destruction policy, so will never put a healthy dog down.

Ryedale Dog Rescue is run entirely by volunteers, who take no personal expenses from the charity. We raise funds in many different ways, including fun dog shows, pop-up shops, auctions, coffee mornings and a calendar featuring our amazing rehomed dogs.
We rehome an average of 48 dogs a year, and while they are with us the dogs receive a high standard of care.

We give people the choice, because they deserve nothing less. Dogs are matched with prospective owners but the choices are discussed with the current owner. New owners must undertake several visits to meet the current owner, see the dog, take their dog with them (if they currently have one).

If a behaviourist has been involved, they can meet and talk to ensure that all parties understand the needs of the dog. In some cases, the behaviourist assesses saand advises the current owner. Then if the dog is rehomed, helps the new owner deal with any ongoing issues.

We have recently introduced stay overs, whereby, if the prospective owners already own a dog, the dog up for adoption can have a trial stay with them before the adoption goes ahead, this is proving a big success.

Our aim is to get as many of these Akitas as possible into ’safe’ kennels and ultimately into new forever homes. In addition to helping stray dogs we also assist Akitas whose owners can no longer keep them for a variety of reasons. We rescue and rehome any Akita which needs it, through assessing both the dog and potential owners to ensure a well-matched and long lasting, happy relationship. We take in Akitas of all ages, the young, the elderly and everyone in between, we also take in Akitas that are ill and need veterinary attention.

We are a completely voluntary Charity with a voluntary management team to oversee the day to day running of the rescue and we are supported by a fabulous team of nationwide volunteers who we would be lost without.

Foal Farm animal rescue centre is a registered charity based at Biggin Hill in Kent. Its aim is to take in as many sick, distressed and unwanted animals as possible and restore them to health and happiness. The animals are kept on a 26 acre farm where they are neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and given any other medical assistance necessary. Dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and other small animals are then placed in secure and loving vetted homes. Horses, donkeys, cows, pigs, sheep, goats, chickens, ducks and geese spend their natural lives at Foal Farm. No healthy animal is ever destroyed, and if no home can be found, the animal becomes a resident for the rest of its life.

Foal Farm relies entirely on voluntary contributions, legacies and money made from fund raising events.

In the shelters overcrowding, hunger, disease and fights are commonplace. The only possible way to escape this hell is to find a suitable adopter, likely in a foreign country. Our dedicated team of unpaid carers have been haunted by the plight of Romanian dogs and are committed to doing everything we possibly can for these poor souls. We work with Romanian rescuers who we know and trust, supporting them through rehoming and donations. Over the last few years we have all fostered, adopted, and raised funds for many Romanian dogs.

Again, our estimation is that last year we spent around £50,000 on food, necessities and vet bills. All of which has to be raised through the Charity Shop, donations and fundraising events. Last year we held our 2nd annual Fun Day which took place in August and it was a massive success, even bigger and better than the previous year, the day raised over £4,000 for the animals in our care!

The charity relies solely on the kindness of their supporters and community.

The group decided from the beginning that not only was there a need of a rescue and rehoming service, but also the fact that the breed needed a body who would be able to give unbiased opinions to the general public on the welfare and health aspects of this wonderful breed.

At this point in time the number of Akitas being taken into care is growing day by day, which is of great concern to all of us at the Trust. The only way we feel we can reverse this trend is to go forward with our education program in the hope that this may save the lives of some of our magnificent dogs.

We work nationwide, not only with owners, but with council pounds and other rescues. Everyone involved with JAWT has a genuine love and concern for the welfare of the breed and works on a voluntary basis. We receive no public funding and rely solely on fundraising and donations from our supporters.

Timothy loved animals, especially dogs and wanted to start a dog rescue centre in Spain. Unfortunately, that dream never became a reality when Timothy suddenly died at the young age of 27.
Cindi therefore decided to do it alone with the help of her eldest daughter Zoe who at the time was just a young teenager. Ever since losing Timothy, Cindi has devoted her entire life and time to dogs that really need her help.

Founded in 1993 we have been rescuing stray dogs for over 22 years and are still as committed today as we always have been. With so many abandoned and unwanted dogs entering kennels every day we are committed to finding loving homes for all of our dogs. We are a no-kill shelter who believe that second hand dogs make first class friends, and we work around the clock to raise funds to care for the dogs in our care while we search for their perfect forever home.

All of the money we raise goes directly to our charity, but we can only carry on the work we do with the help of people’s generosity. We do not claim expenses for our work, our payment is seeing the dogs in our care transferred to a forever home and becoming part of a family where they are loved.

Our aim is to get as many of these Akitas as possible into ’safe’ kennels and ultimately into new forever homes. In addition to helping stray dogs we also assist Akitas whose owners can no longer keep them for a variety of reasons. We rescue and rehome any Akita which needs it, through assessing both the dog and potential owners to ensure a well-matched and long lasting, happy relationship. We take in Akitas of all ages, the young, the elderly and everyone in between, we also take in Akitas that are ill and need veterinary attention.

We are a completely voluntary Charity with a voluntary management team to oversee the day to day running of the rescue and we are supported by a fabulous team of nationwide volunteers who we would be lost without. Together we have saved countless Akitas and sadly there will be many more that we are still to meet.

From that moment Heather KNEW she had to do something different and she founded SSDR - who rescue sled dog breeds NO MATTER WHAT!

We are a registered, nationwide charity run by experienced staff who aim to help as many unwanted, neglected or stray Siberian Huskies and Alaskan Malamutes through the process of fostering, rehabilitating and re-homing, or simply by supporting their owners with help and advice. The team work alongside other rescue organisations, dog pounds and dog wardens to help ensure that all sled dogs are re-homed in the BEST possible environment which suits each dogs needs.

At present, many of these dogs have been purchased or bred by people who have little understanding of the needs or these wonderful breeds. Whilst some of the dogs who come into our care do so for genuine reasons, the majority come from puppy farms, back yard breeders and uninformed owners who lack knowledge BEFORE purchasing on of these dogs. Through our educational visits and working demonstrations we hope to improve the future for these dogs, whilst we try to help the ones who need us now through re-homing and one-to-one support.

As well as rescuing sled dogs in the UK, our goal is to continually educate novice owners, breed admirers, supporters and the general public in the UK to help build a better understanding of these incredible breeds. We do this through our social media platforms, our website, through educational visits and one-to-one - including participating in public working and handling demonstrations.

At Saints Sled Dog Rescue, we pride ourselves in ALWAYS putting a dogs life first ensuring we never turn a dog away and giving ALL dogs a chance at a new life regardless of their age, health or behavioural difficulties. We offer every dog rescue backup for life which means they can come back to us any time in the future and 24-hour support for sled dog owners, fosterers and adopters.

All dogs that come into SSDR are neutered, vaccinated, assessed and medically cleared BEFORE leaving for their forever homes. We do take in dogs with special behavioural needs which means that we have to ensure that all homes are assessed correctly to match a home to the DOGS needs.

Monarch's Mutts dog rescue is based in Halesowen and covers the West Midlands, helping as many dogs in need as possible. We are working towards charity status and are planning on walking the entire Monarch's Way with our rescue dogs to raise much needed funds, with the ultimate, long term goal to acquire land and kennels along the monarch's way. This will become a sanctuary for forgotten dogs and walkers who wish to stop for a cup of tea, cake and dog cuddles.

Based in the UK, Miracle's Mission is dedicated to helping animals worldwide with our TNRM (trap, neuter, release, manage) and education projects taking place in Borneo, Malaysia. For every animal that is released back to their place of collection we monitor and manage their progress. They are only ever released to areas of safety where they have regular feeders and people looking out for them. We will NEVER release an animal back to their original place of rescue if the place is unsafe.

Our released animals have regular feeders and informers to let us know if any medical attention is ever needed, in which case we will be right back to help. We also rescue, rehabilitate and re-home disabled dogs and cats from across the world. The dogs and cats are rehabilitated with surgeries, prosthetic legs, wheels, physiotherapy and hydrotherapy.

In October 2016, we became a UK Registered Charity here for the benefit of the public to relieve the suffering of dogs namely but not exclusively spaniels, who are abandoned, stray or otherwise in need of care and attention. We provide and assist in the provision of rescuing, rehoming and fostering of these dogs and treat and care for them where necessary.

When we see a ‘free to a good home’ dog advertisement, as well as any that are £150 or less, we will email, message or call and offer to help by taking the dog in to be fostered and subsequently adopted. Some people don’t reply, some people can be a little bit rude, but there are some who are simply grateful for the help and advice and it is these that make it all worth while.

We have a hands-on team in Romania at our shelters in Constanta and Calarasi, where we care for around 500 dogs and puppies, many of whom have been rescued from unimaginable abuse and neglect.

We also provide food, vet care and support to two other shelters in Romania. In total, we feed more than 500 dogs every single day. We aim to rehome as many of the saved dogs as we can.

In the UK, we have a team of volunteer adoption specialists working with potential adopters and foster carers across the country. Although we aim to rehome as many of the saved dogs as we can, some unfortunately will never be suitable to make that journey.

We give people the choice, because they deserve nothing less. Dogs are matched with prospective owners but the choices are discussed with the current owner. New owners must undertake several visits to meet the current owner, see the dog, take their dog with them (if they currently have one).

If a behaviourist has been involved, they can meet and talk to ensure that all parties understand the needs of the dog. In some cases, the behaviourist assesses saand advises the current owner. Then if the dog is rehomed, helps the new owner deal with any ongoing issues.

We have recently introduced stay overs, whereby, if the prospective owners already own a dog, the dog up for adoption can have a trial stay with them before the adoption goes ahead, this is proving a big success.

For more details, use the links below to visit their website and social media channels.

We assess animals in our homes, we use foster homes where possible, and we use kennels in emergencies. We are always in need of more foster homes, sponsors and donations.

The dogs that live at the shelter have come mainly from the streets of the towns of Viișoara, Câmpia Turzii and Turda. Some dogs are abandoned at the shelter, for example they have been thrown over the fence. Others have been abandoned by their owners and taken into the care of the shelter team, whilst some are taken from the state public shelter in Turda.

The shelter was founded and is run by Dora Fodor, a highly dedicated school teacher. Dora and her small team look after the dogs 365 days of the year.
Amicii Dog Rescue also has a team of volunteers in the UK, who work tirelessly to raise funds and to rehome as many of the dogs as possible. In 2014/2015, over 250 dogs were successfully rehomed in the UK, including a few to Germany and 3 to Holland. The charity also runs a ‘spay and neuter’ programme for the dogs of Romania, funded by generous donations.

The current rescue shelter is situated on a piece of rented land, with a large damp barn attached. The shelter remains very much at risk, with the owner constantly threatening to evict the shelter dogs back to the streets. During 2017, we are working to raise money to build a new shelter for the Association, on a piece of land that will be owned by the charity and which will give it a long-term future.

Foal Farm animal rescue centre is a registered charity based at Biggin Hill in Kent. Its aim is to take in as many sick, distressed and unwanted animals as possible and restore them to health and happiness. The animals are kept on a 26 acre farm where they are neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and given any other medical assistance necessary. Dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and other small animals are then placed in secure and loving vetted homes. Horses, donkeys, cows, pigs, sheep, goats, chickens, ducks and geese spend their natural lives at Foal Farm. No healthy animal is ever destroyed, and if no home can be found, the animal becomes a resident for the rest of its life.

Foal Farm relies entirely on voluntary contributions, legacies and money made from fund raising events.

We are not a charity that just takes in nice fluffy, easy to home dogs. We judge every dog on temperament and character and work hard to match each dog to the right home. Before any dog is rehomed we carry out home checks with potential new owners, and each dog is neutered, either before leaving us or within six months of being rehomed. We have a non-destruction policy, so will never put a healthy dog down.

Ryedale Dog Rescue is run entirely by volunteers, who take no personal expenses from the charity. We raise funds in many different ways, including fun dog shows, pop-up shops, auctions, coffee mornings and a calendar featuring our amazing rehomed dogs.
We rehome an average of 48 dogs a year, and while they are with us the dogs receive a high standard of care.

Our centre opened its doors on the 1st of March 2003. We started with very little in the bank but lots of willing volunteers and the support of many local people. The premises were much in need of upgrading but now, 20 years later with the help of many fundraising projects and legacies along the way, we have three kennel blocks, opened our 6th Charity shop and rehomed well over 5000 dogs in the process.

We also started a Welfare scheme in 2018 where we help out people who find themselves in crisis and need short term accommodation for their dogs.
Our kennels are always full and with a vast list of dogs needing help, our work is never done.

SCDR was founded five years ago by Louise Pittman when she rescued an incredible Golden Retriever called Chance. We initially rescued Golden Retrievers but we quickly found we could not turn our backs on any dog because they did not fit a breed criteria and we were soon simply helping the dogs that needed us the most. Since SCDR was founded we have continued to grow with the help of a dedicated team, all of whom are volunteers working long hours for the love of the dogs and the work we do.

Rescue is always an emotional and financial struggle, particularly in the current climate, but failure simply isn’t an option which is why we and the dogs are so grateful for our truly wonderful supporters who fund our work. Hundreds of dogs have been given a second chance because of our amazing rescue family and we really hope you consider joining us.

Some facts about us:
- We are a UK registered charity - 1161902
- We are foster based and work out of the East Midlands
- We have taken in and cared for over 1000 animals

Our mission is to rescue abused, unwanted and abandoned animals. We never discriminate on the basis of health, age or breed.

By involving and educating the community, Harley's Hounds works to raise public awareness of the plight of homeless animals as well as realising the benefits of adopting an animal in need.

All of our animals are examined, vaccinated, spayed or neutered and receive any and all medical treatment before they are available for adoption to carefully screened homes.

When greyhounds are found in the meat trade or underground racing tracks, we are notified and step in to take care of them. Dogs come to us in appalling conditions. Many have been beaten and starved and almost all have been crammed into tiny cages often with many other dogs.

Their first stop will be straight to the vets for any medical care they may need. All dogs will be neutered before they leave. Once fit and healthy, the dogs will move to our boarding kennels in Beijing. There the dogs will be prepared for leaving China and going to countries such as the Uk, USA and Canada. When they arrive, they go into foster homes, visit the vets for a check-up and will then be assessed by their foster families and rescue partners.

We hope it's never to long until the dogs find their forever homes and become a part of the family the way every dog should be.

We have a network of volunteers across the whole of the UK who can help physically by: fostering, fundraising, home visiting, transporting and walking our kennel hounds. We also offer the opportunity to sponsor our long-stay hounds.

We are totally self funded and work extremely hard to raise the necessary monies to continue helping these wonderful hounds. This is made possible by fantastic support from our network of volunteers and you, the general public. Without that generosity we could not do the work we do and we are incredibly grateful for every donation we receive, however small. Every single penny really does help!

Again, our estimation is that last year we spent around £50,000 on food, necessities and vet bills. All of which has to be raised through the Charity Shop, donations and fundraising events. Last year we held our 2nd annual Fun Day which took place in August and it was a massive success, even bigger and better than the previous year, the day raised over £4,000 for the animals in our care!

The charity relies solely on the kindness of their supporters and community.

In the shelters overcrowding, hunger, disease and fights are commonplace. The only possible way to escape this hell is to find a suitable adopter, likely in a foreign country. Our dedicated team of unpaid carers have been haunted by the plight of Romanian dogs and are committed to doing everything we possibly can for these poor souls. We work with Romanian rescuers who we know and trust, supporting them through rehoming and donations. Over the last few years we have all fostered, adopted, and raised funds for many Romanian dogs.

In the years Animals In Need has been established, we have acquired a fully equipped animal ambulance, two water crafts and trailers for transportation, plus the usual first aid essentials. Although our first aid equipment is adequate it is regularly updated to current standards.

Animals In Need is a rescue organization run by 8 members of staff and a team of volunteers, attending animal casualties in the Northamptonshire area. We attend to both domestic and wild animals, and in 1999 were asked by Northamptonshire Police to work with them attending road traffic accidents and out of hours emergencies.

Feeding and caring for the injured animals we rescue is most important especially in cases of young orphaned birds, which need hand feeding every hour from dawn till dusk. Also young hedgehogs which haven’t reached the required weight to survive hibernation over the winter months, need to be kept warm and fed as do swans that have incurred injuries, many from fishing tackle that they have swallowed or become entangled in. Please if you bring in wildlife or collect hedgehogs after we have rehabilitated them, perhaps you would be kind enough to consider setting up a standing order or making a one-off donation to help towards food and vet bills – we are totally reliant on donations and receive no government funding.

Our continued dedication to the animals has resulted with us teaming up with the amazing dog trainer Nathan Watson. Nathan successfully runs Restart4Rescues and this programme is offered to anyone who rehomes a dog from us here to help provide support and information in those first important few weeks when settling a rescue dog into your home.

From that moment Heather KNEW she had to do something different and she founded SSDR - who rescue sled dog breeds NO MATTER WHAT!

We are a registered, nationwide charity run by experienced staff who aim to help as many unwanted, neglected or stray Siberian Huskies and Alaskan Malamutes through the process of fostering, rehabilitating and re-homing, or simply by supporting their owners with help and advice. The team work alongside other rescue organisations, dog pounds and dog wardens to help ensure that all sled dogs are re-homed in the BEST possible environment which suits each dogs needs.

At present, many of these dogs have been purchased or bred by people who have little understanding of the needs or these wonderful breeds. Whilst some of the dogs who come into our care do so for genuine reasons, the majority come from puppy farms, back yard breeders and uninformed owners who lack knowledge BEFORE purchasing on of these dogs. Through our educational visits and working demonstrations we hope to improve the future for these dogs, whilst we try to help the ones who need us now through re-homing and one-to-one support.

As well as rescuing sled dogs in the UK, our goal is to continually educate novice owners, breed admirers, supporters and the general public in the UK to help build a better understanding of these incredible breeds. We do this through our social media platforms, our website, through educational visits and one-to-one - including participating in public working and handling demonstrations.

At Saints Sled Dog Rescue, we pride ourselves in ALWAYS putting a dogs life first ensuring we never turn a dog away and giving ALL dogs a chance at a new life regardless of their age, health or behavioural difficulties. We offer every dog rescue backup for life which means they can come back to us any time in the future and 24-hour support for sled dog owners, fosterers and adopters.

All dogs that come into SSDR are neutered, vaccinated, assessed and medically cleared BEFORE leaving for their forever homes. We do take in dogs with special behavioural needs which means that we have to ensure that all homes are assessed correctly to match a home to the DOGS needs.

In October 2016, we became a UK Registered Charity here for the benefit of the public to relieve the suffering of dogs namely but not exclusively spaniels, who are abandoned, stray or otherwise in need of care and attention. We provide and assist in the provision of rescuing, rehoming and fostering of these dogs and treat and care for them where necessary.

When we see a ‘free to a good home’ dog advertisement, as well as any that are £150 or less, we will email, message or call and offer to help by taking the dog in to be fostered and subsequently adopted. Some people don’t reply, some people can be a little bit rude, but there are some who are simply grateful for the help and advice and it is these that make it all worth while.

Based in the UK, Miracle's Mission is dedicated to helping animals worldwide with our TNRM (trap, neuter, release, manage) and education projects taking place in Borneo, Malaysia. For every animal that is released back to their place of collection we monitor and manage their progress. They are only ever released to areas of safety where they have regular feeders and people looking out for them. We will NEVER release an animal back to their original place of rescue if the place is unsafe.

Our released animals have regular feeders and informers to let us know if any medical attention is ever needed, in which case we will be right back to help. We also rescue, rehabilitate and re-home disabled dogs and cats from across the world. The dogs and cats are rehabilitated with surgeries, prosthetic legs, wheels, physiotherapy and hydrotherapy.
