Support Us
We depend entirely on the support of our local community to provide the best possible care we can for dogs from across the Midlands that need us.
Why we need your support
69% of our dogs are stray or abandoned
We work with nine local authorities across the Midlands from South Staffordshire to Warwickshire.
Caring for homeless dogs since 1892
We look after around 2,500 Midlands dogs every year, rescuing, reuniting and rehoming 365 days of the year.
We don't receive any government funding
To operate we are entirely reliant on the generosity of our supporters in the local community and business community.
