Dog Welfare & Rescue Info UK

DDA WATCH ON FACEBOOK: DDAWatch is a new initiative from the Pet Owners Parliament set up to help monitor "dangerous dog" legislation, to educate and assist those affected by it, while campaigning to find fair, workable solutions that can better protect the public without compromising the lives and welfare of countless dogs who have never acted dangerously.
ONCE LOVED RESCUE, UK: Helping abandoned dogs to find permanent loving homes.

Once Loved Dog Rescue was set up to help provide care, shelter and permanent homes for unwanted and abandoned dogs. Our work is mainly rescuing and rehoming ex pound dogs. We are run entirely voluntarily. The areas we cover are primarily Devon and Somerset. The rescue is based in Sidmouth, Devon, between Exeter and Honiton. As we are a small rescue, we like to keep homes as local as possible for home checking purposes. We will, however, consider rehoming to other areas.
ROCHDALE DOG RESCUE: Rochdale Dog Rescue works every week to find responsible rescue places for dogs in a Northern Pound in the UK that are due to be put to sleep if not claimed after 7 days.

The pound that we work with are one of the few pounds that are willing to work closely with us as a rescue. They too work hard to save these dogs from being put to sleep by providing Rochdale Dog Rescue with photographs, information about the dogs and constant updates.

Few people realise that many healthy dogs, through no fault of their own, are being destroyed if not claimed within the week.
ALL DOGS MATTER: We are a voluntary rescue based in London. We rescue and rehome dogs who are abandoned or in need of a new home because their owners can no longer keep them. When new dogs come to us, we assess them and put them into experienced foster homes. All our dogs are veterinary checked, vaccinated, neutered/spayed, microchipped, de-flead and wormed prior to rehoming. Because of limited funds, we only carry out basic health checks - for example we do no x-ray for joint conditions. However we will not, to the best of our knowledge, rehome a sick or unhealthy dog.
DANGEROUS DOGS ACT: DDAWatch is a new initiative from the Pet Owners Parliament set up to help monitor "dangerous dog" legislation, to educate and assist those affected by it, while campaigning to find fair, workable solutions that can better protect the public without compromising the lives and welfare of countless dogs who have never acted dangerously.
DOG PAGES.ORG: Dogpages is different. Why? Since Dogpages began eight years ago, any number of commercial sites and businesses have sprung up seeking to profit from dog rescue. Dogpages remains a non-commercial site run solely by volunteers. You won't find any profit-making adverts here and users of our forums won't have their details collected and sold on for marketing purposes.

We hope you agree with us and support us in our belief that rescue dogs should not be seen as a marketing opportunity or a source of profit. And we hope you enjoy the difference.
SHELTER ANIMAL REIKI ASSOCIATION: Supporting Reiki practitioners to implement professional, effective and ethical Animal Reiki programs in their local shelters. Reiki to the rescue.

NIGHT AT THE DOGS: The sheer scale of the cruelty within the Greyhound racing industry is immense and when you place a bet on a race you are in effect saying that you don't mind about what is happening to these loving, trusting dogs. More than that, you are actually playing your part in supporting it by your financial investment. It may only be a few pounds or dollars but it is your personal investment in suffering and death.

GREYHOUND RESCUE WALES: Greyhound Rescue Wales began in 1993 with a small group of people trying to rescue Greyhounds and Lurchers in the Swansea area. Over the next few years the organisation grew quickly and attracted support from many parts of Wales.

DORSET ANIMAL WORKERS GROUP: Rescue workers helping to rehome unwanted pets in the Dorset area, UK.
EAST GALWAY ANIMAL RESCUE: East Galway Animal Rescue (EGAR) has devoted itself to the rescue and re-socialisation of the probably most misunderstood group of dogs; the bull breeds. Initially bred for bull/dog fighting and bear baiting these powerful dogs have always attracted the wrong attention, even to this day. As any dog, they can create havoc if trained for the wrong purpose. Dogfights are still an (illegal) pastime for shady characters and often these dogs are killed in the fight. One major trait in bull breeds is their willingness to fight if trained to do so. But even the dogs with a fighting history display no aggression towards humans; they may be dog aggressive but love their humans, even if they send them into a pit to fight until victory or death.
JUNGLE FRIENDS: Jungle Friends Primate Sanctuary is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, located on 12 acres in Gainesville, Florida.

GOOD DOG RESCUE, USA: Good Dog Rescue is an all-breed rescue group made up of volunteers all over New England who love dogs and want to help those that end up homeless through no fault of their own. Loyal and loving dogs turn up in the South every day, abandoned by irresponsible owners to languish in shelters or starve on the street. Each month, we save dozens of needy Southern dogs and prepare them to be rehomed with new families. To the best of our ability, we evaluate each dog's temperament and suitability for living with children, cats, and other dogs. They all undergo a comprehensive health check, vaccinations and spay/neuter, and those dogs with health problems are treated. The rescued dogs are placed in loving foster homes until they find their very own families. Our goal is to meet the specific needs of each dog as an individual and to assure proper placement in a loving forever home.
GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG RESCUE, UK: German Shepherd Puppies and German Shepherd Dogs rehomed across the UK
