We became a charity formally in 2013 but our founder has been involved in dog rescue for many many years. We specialise in the large breeds that often get such a bad press and the breeds that many other well known charities will euthanise. We rescue, rehabilitate and rehome dogs from across the UK.

We are a tiny charity punching above our weight reputationally. We are a non-destruct charity and support many forever sanctuary dogs who often have significant vets bills.
We are currently searching for our own venue as we are paying for individual kennels for each dog.

The JAWT (Japanese Akita Welfare Trust) was founded by a small group of dedicated Akita owners, who recognised the need for a pure breed rescue in the UK.

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.

Sprocker Assist and Rescue (SAR) was established in 2013 to provide advice, assistance, and a managed rehoming process for Sprocker Spaniels in the UK. We only deal with Sprocker Spaniels and the charity is run by volunteers. We endeavor to help any and all Sprocker Spaniels and their owners in their time of need. Our vision is that every Sprocker is safe, happy and healthy. If you need support with your dog, take a look at our help and advice page (www.sprockerassist.org) which has some general advice as well as information on behaviorists. SAR has a very active Facebook community that you are welcome to join. It is a very welcoming group and is filled with experienced dog owners.

Spirit of the Dog Rescue is a volunteer run organisation, founded in 2004 by behaviourists on a mission to prevent the unnecessary euthanasia of dogs. We consistently maintain a ‘quality of care over quantity of dogs’ approach to ensure each individual has a tailored, dog centred rehoming journey and the ability to integrate into their lifelong forever home at their own pace.

Each dog has their own ‘Wellbeing Team’ made up of qualified professional volunteers who meet their needs from every angle, coordinating care plans, creating shortlists from which the dogs choose their own homes, supporting adopters through the lengthy matching process and remaining by their side post adoption. Our aim is to open a small but impactful centre which we are working tirelessly to raise funds for, in the meantime we rent kennel space and utilise experienced, trusted foster placements from which to carry out our work.

We also strive to support dog caregivers in our community with a food bank, low cost microchipping, education opportunities and behaviour support. Our dogs share regular video diaries online and would love for you to follow them to see what a huge difference your donations are making, as well as what makes us a ‘different breed of dog rescue’.
