Dogs Trust and the Cost of Living
Over recent months, we’ve received a record number of calls from people asking us to take in their dogs in the face of the new cost of everyday living. This coinciding with adoption numbers dropping due to people not being able afford to take on a new dog, is leading to a potential housing crisis for the nation’s dogs.
At Dogs Trust we are doing all we can to help weather the storm and support dogs and their owners through this difficult time.
We’ve been setting up Dog food banks at our rehoming centre for anyone struggling feed their dog(s). For details of where these are based and how to donate, please click here.
Our discounted training and behaviour services are helping people keep up with essential training and behaviour needs. These costs can be seen as additional to basic care; however they are very important to the development and wellbeing of dogs and owners. For information about these discounted services, please click here.
In the wider community, we are calling for the government to help pet owners but taking VAT off pet food. A reduction of this 20% tax would lower the price of food and help people struggling to with the cost of dog food. Read more about our campaign here.
We can only run these services and be the voice of dogs and dogs owners in the UK, with the help of our loyal supporters. Thank you for taking part in the 99K for Canines challenge and raising essential funds for the many dogs around country.

As we face the financial crisis, we’re urgently seeking help for the dogs who will feel the impact.
We’re especially searching for people with space in their homes and hearts for dogs that are more difficult to find forever homes for, such as big dogs, un-housetrained dogs, and dogs with challenging behaviour. If you think you can offer a temporary home to a dog in need while the UK is in financial crisis, please get in touch here.
When Sylvie first arrived into Dogs Trust’s care after being found as a stray, she was a shy, timid girl who was quite overwhelmed by the world. Sylvie struggled to cope with life in kennels. So she went to stay with one of our fantatic foster carers. Read how our foster care scheme changed Sylvie's life and helped her find her forever home here.
