At Dog Friendly Scotland, we believe that when we're successful, it's important to share and give something back by helping those less fortunate.
Partnering with Guide Dogs UK and The Dogs Trust was an easy decision for us to make, two charities very close to our hearts. Both charities create some amazing life-changing opportunities when dogs and humans are brought together.
Both charities are self-funded by the gift of donations and survive without government help. Even the smallest donation can have the biggest impact.
Please donate however much you can to allow them to continue with their great work.
Guide Dogs UK
Guide Dogs UK formed in 1934 is responsible for training pups too young adult dogs to work as assistance guide dogs once their training is complete. Once training is complete they will be partnered with someone who is blind or partially sighted, to act as their companion and aid.
There are currently around 5,000 working guide dogs in the UK, unfortunately, there is a waiting list of people, whilst new dogs and funding can be sourced. The cost to rear and train a guide dog before it goes into working service is around £32k and takes two years. A worthwhile cause!
Dogs Trust
The Dogs Trust formed in 1891 is responsible for the rescue and rehoming of around 15,000 dogs per year from their 20 rehoming centres across the UK. If that's not enough, they also run training classes for dogs and owners to better understand each other, giving them a much better chance of a long and happy relationship.
Their ethos is to ensure no health dog with ever be put to sleep and all get gold standard treatment until the happy day they find their new home. Another great charity.
