Supporting dog owners experiencing homelessness

Support for dog owners

We understand the special bond you and your dog share, and we'll do everything we can to keep you together if you're experiencing homelessness. Whether that's supporting you with free vet care and finding dog-friendly homelessness services, or giving you a helping paw with advice on how to look after your pal, we'll always be here for you and your pooch.

How we support homelessness services

No one should be forced to choose between their dog and a safe place to sleep, but many people experiencing homelessness are faced with that decision. We provide free, in-depth support and advice to homelessness services on becoming a Dogs Trust endorsed service. We also provide free vet care for any dog owner being supported by a homelessness service.
