Stokenchurch Dog Rescue
Stokenchurch dog rescue (formerly known as The Dog Rescue and Welfare Society) was originally formed by local residents in 1963 to save the lives of stray and unwanted dogs, as well as those impounded by the Police.
Since then many thousands of dogs have been brought to us and have been successfully re-homed. And, although the Police no longer take in ‘lost’ pets, we still provide this invaluable service to pet owners until they can be reunited with their much loved canine family member once again.
We never destroy a healthy dog, believing that somewhere there is a kind and permanent home for every dog. We also take in and care for the sick, the old and the traumatised, and no dog in need is ever refused our help. If we have room, we offer them all a home and do everything within our power to rehabilitate them whenever possible, both physically and psychologically.

Adoption
We always have dogs of all ages, sizes and shapes, and all have different personalities, temperaments and needs. Some may need an extra-special new home, others may need owners with experience of their particular breed, and some may not be suitable to share a new home with small children. Always keeping our dogs’ characteristics and previous experiences in mind, we do our very best to match the right owner with the right dog on an individual basis.

Sponsoring
Because it is our policy never to destroy a healthy dog, and because of particularly damaging experiences in their past, some of our charges are, unfortunately, with us for a long time - and sometimes even for life. Sponsoring a dog is a great way to help us care for them.
But there are many other ways in which you can help us provide the care neglected dogs so desperately need. Apart from sponsoring a dog, you could sponsor a kennel or even donate towards our urgent Rebuild Appeal?
