DONATE

We help about 200 dogs a year. Many arrive in very bad physical condition; all receive a thorough health check; many have to be neutered;  most have to be vaccinated. They recieve the best primary and, if necessary, specialist veterinary care. The adoption fee rarely covers veterinary costs and, on average, is less than half the intake cost.
Every donation makes a real difference!

Sponsor a Dog

At Dogs Friends we have several dogs in ‘long-term foster care’.

They are dogs who, because of their age, medical requirements, or behavioural problems, are not suitable for adoption. These dogs still deserve the safety of a home, regular meals, the warmth of a bed, and the love of a human being. These homes are generously provided by some of our foster carers but we remain responsible for all of their vet bills, which is a great drain on our limited resources. Can you help us make sure these dogs have all the care they deserve? 

 

Donating Shares To Charity

Donating shares can be very tax efficient as there Is no capital gain or loss on shares donated to charity and you can claim income tax relief on the value of the shares. In order to qualify for the tax relief, the shares or securities must be:

 

  • listed or dealt on a recognised UK or foreign stock exchange
  • units in authorised unit trusts
  • shares in a UK open-ended investment company
  • holdings in certain foreign collective investment schemes

For more information on tax relief for gifts of shares to charity and what records you need to keep please see the HMRC guidance notes
