Thanks to your support, we found new homes for thousands of dogs this year. While these dogs waited for their forever families, we made sure they were cared for in a safe and happy place.
None of this would be possible without our dedicated Dogs Trust team and army of volunteers who give their time and energy to support our work. Our dogs spend time with us, from walking and playing with them, to helping with administrative tasks, tackling the mountains of laundry at the center, and even reading to the dogs in the kennel. Every moment makes a big difference. Our foster homes also play an important role in providing temporary homes for dogs until they find their forever families. We are deeply grateful to all of them.
We have also been inspired by the fundraising support we have received throughout this year. Whether it's running a marathon, climbing a mountain, or participating in an event, each effort helps us exceed our mission.
This generosity also allows us to provide services that connect dogs and their owners, including our free behavioral support line, which helped more than 7,000 dog owners last year. We also offer training classes through our dog school. Many rehoming centers and charity shops also run pet food banks to help owners meet the needs of their dogs. The support we receive works with charities that support people experiencing homelessness or fleeing domestic abuse, and can also keep loyal dogs and devoted owners together in the most difficult of circumstances. means.
So, as we approach the New Year, I would like to wish all of our supporters a Happy New Year. We look forward to helping dogs find their forever homes and continuing to be a force for good in canine welfare.
