Dogs do a lot for their owners throughout their lives, from the warmth and comfort we get from having a furry companion by our side, to the mental and physical health benefits we get from all those long walks. That’s why many people choose to ask for donations to
Dogs Trust when they pass, so that a legacy of love can be left for man’s best friend.
Dogs Trust was originally called the National Canine Defence League, and was started in 1891 by Lady Gertrude Stock to campaign against cruelty to dogs. They changed their name to Dogs Trust in 2003 and are now the UK’s leading dog welfare charity.
With over 130 years of achievements, they don’t plan on resting anytime soon. There is still a lot that can be done to make the world a better place for dogs. Through generous donations, Dogs Trust run 21 different centres across the UK, with 726 dogs needing new homes at the time of writing this. Dogs Trust also run in-person, as well as virtual, dog training courses.
Dogs Trust also spends a lot of time tirelessly campaigning to improve the lives of our canine friends. Whether that is looking to abolish puppy smuggling, bring in stronger restrictions on the sale and use of fireworks, or looking to bring in registration for dog breeders, Dogs Trust are always looking out for a dog's best interest.
