Help ‘Sticky’ Dogs
The Dog Trust charity cares for around 15,000 homeless dogs across it 17 re-homing centres across the UK. The aim is to find the loving new owners however there are some dogs that are difficult t re-home due to things like behavioural issues for example and they may ‘stick’ at a re-homing centre for some time. These dogs have been nicknamed ‘sticky’ dogs.
The charity will not put down healthy dogs and sticky dogs are kept at the re-homing centres for life. To help support these dogs the charity is offering people the opportunity to sponsor a sticky dog. This is perfect if you’ve always craved a pet dog but simply don’t have the space or time.
The chief executive of the Dog’s Trust, Clarissa Baldwin said:
‘These dogs may not be suitable as pets, but they’ve got loads of love to give – and you’ll have a friend for life. We receive no government funding and depend on the generosity of the public.’
Sponsoring a sticky dog can cost as less as £1.00 per week. You’ll be contributing towards food, medical care and training. In return you’ll get regular updates on the dog’s progress, free gifts and a photo f your new doggie friend. To join call the Dog’s Trust on 0207 837 0006.
