We are NOT, nor have ever been,

'DORSET DOG RESCUE' a.k.a 'DDR' a.k.a 'DORSET & SOMERSET DOG RESCUE'

about which there has been considerable adverse publicity.

Nor are we linked in any way with any other Rescue using the name DAWG elsewhere in the UK, Ireland or in the USA

DAWGdogs Rescue is a non-profit organisation staffed by volunteers.

Every penny raised goes towards the high costs improving the lives of as many dogs as we are able to save.

Our veterinary bills alone run into many thousands of pounds each year, and the costs of feeding, microchipping, sheltering and transporting those in our care are ever rising.

Please make the DAWGdogs a donation if you can.

Could you foster a rescued dog until they can find a permanent home?

The BIG LIST of DAWGdogs!!

Rescuers, rescue supporters, and volunteers do not walk on water.
We don't wear capes and tights or leap tall buildings.
We aren't better than anyone else, but we do pursue a cause that we believe makes us better than we were before we started.
We make mistakes; we feel we can't do enough; we go broke; we have too many dogs at home; we rant out of frustration; we lose our tempers and get snappy; we have to reject people sometimes for the good of a dog.
We are not always likeable.
What we do is draining, emotionally, financially, and physically.
Please bear with us and forgive us our flaws, because we are doing work that's bigger than we are.
