This London-based charity operates internationally to create positive connections between children and dogs through rescue, education, and therapy programs. The organization focuses on dog adoption services, rescuing animals from various countries including Romania, Cyprus, China, and Bosnia, with particular emphasis on saving dogs from the Chinese meat trade. Their adoption program includes fostering opportunities and comprehensive support for families seeking to provide homes for rescued dogs. Beyond rescue operations, the charity runs specialized therapy dog programs in UK schools, providing trained dogs for educational visits that help children develop confidence and reduce anxiety, particularly benefiting students with special educational needs. They organize annual educational events including the Great British Bark Off, which has engaged over 590,000 children since 2021 in dog-related activities designed to promote emotional development and wellbeing. The organization's global mission extends to educational initiatives that teach children about animal welfare and compassion, working with local communities to change attitudes toward animal treatment. They offer volunteer opportunities both domestically and internationally, and fund their operations through adoption fees, fundraising calendars featuring rescued dogs, and lottery programs, with a stated goal of impacting two million children and dogs by 2030.
