If you’ve
only just found us on Twitter, or are reading our Blog for the first time, then
you may like to know more about who we are and why we do what we do.
The Dog
Welfare Network was created by the founders of Lucky Tales: Dog Rescue Without
Borders, a UK-based not-for-profit organisation that rescues dogs from Italy
and Greece. We are a very small organisation, dedicated to the improvement of
animal welfare across Europe and, indeed, the world, giving our time and effort
on a completely voluntary basis.
Based in
Kent, we have helped to re-home many dogs from European rescue centres, finding
them caring families and individuals in the UK. We oversee the dogs' journey to
this country and are in contact with relevant rescue centres across Europe.
However, it
came to our notice, that in many countries, dog rescue charities and
organisations were operating with minimal resources and were often unknown. In
some cases shelters were running in close proximity to one another, striving for
the same aims, yet unaware of one another, missing out on a great opportunity
to pool resources.
We
therefore decided to create a single website bringing together dog rescue
organisations around the UK and all of Europe, highlighting their needs and bringing
them to the attention of the general public and one another.
All the
shelters that we feature are in need of your support, whether it be monetary,
through donations of food and equipment or by practical help in the form of dog
walking or fostering.
In addition
to their needs, as an organisation, we are looking for further sponsorship in
order to increase the support that we can give all the wonderful individuals
and organisations that are doing so much to help the many stray dogs that are
suffering on a daily basis.
What can
you do to help?
Please

to learn more.
We would
value your feedback via replies@dogwelfarenetwork.co.uk
about any shelters that you visit, so that we can add up-to-date information
and ensure that shelters that are exhibiting bad practice are not being
featured on our website.
Thank you
for your time and support.
