Who We Are
Help4Hounds is an organisation is led by a group of volunteers who work around the clock to rescue and care for dogs in need. Based in the South West UK, our mission is to provide foster care for dogs at risk of being put to sleep, while we look to find them a forever home.
What We Do
Our ultimate mission is to find our dogs their ‘forever homes.’
In the meantime, we work to find foster care for the dogs who are waiting to find forever homes.
Once we have found a foster home, we work to ensure the dog is cared for. This is expensive: dog food, vaccinations, vet bills, home visits, training and behavioural sessions, paperwork… all of this is paid for by DONATIONS ALONE.
Some examples of what your donations have helped with recently:
- A dog named Honey came to us in need and she was actually pregnant. So not only did we need to care for Honey and make arrangements for her eventual adoption, we had to oversee and find space for the labour of her 11 puppies. With those 11 puppies also eventually came 11 individual puppies to look after and 11 different adoptions to organise. Not to mention the puppy training that was required!
- A dog named Coda needed strict, hands on training to unlearn some of his bad behaviour that he’d developed. This was not easy and required specialist muzzle training before he was safe to be around other dogs. Coda is still searching for his forever home.
- Many dogs come to us with injuries, skin conditions, and heart problems. Vet bills can sky rocket and of course we always want to provide the care they need to be healthy, and would love it if we didn’t even need to hesitate because of funding.
What We Need
We are currently severely low on funds. Unfortunately, when funding is as low as it is, we have no choice but to turn people away when they call to ask for help. It is heartbreaking to us because we want to be able to help everyone that knocks on our door, but our current funds won’t cover the foster-adoption process for anymore dogs.
Please consider making a donation today. Big or small - we are so grateful for all donations because it means we can keep helping dogs.
These amazing dogs need our help!! Let’s give every dog the life they deserve 🥰
