An ideal Christmas gift to help homeless hounds

This festive season, much the same as any other will find thousands of homeless people and their pooches. Sadly, not all hostels and shelters accept dogs, so the Dogs Trust has been working alongside homeless charities to develop pet friendly policies for homeless services. The Dogs Trust outreach manager, explains the importance of pets to homeless people: "The stability, love, responsibility and companionship brought about from looking after a pet is essential for their eventual resettlement and a life of independence."

How about sponsoring a dog as a Christmas gift for your dog loving friends – a far better present than another set of bath products?

You can show your love for just £1 a week.
Your £1 a week will help Dogs Trust keep their promise to never put down a healthy dog, and in return you'll receive photos and news from your sponsored dog three times a year. You can even sponsor a dog as a gift!
