Every Dog Deserves a Second Chance

I adopted a beautiful chihuahua cross puppy from this wonderful charity. So helpful and kind from start to finish, Linda was the lady who completed the home check etc, couldn’t have been any more helpful and lovely🥰🥰 would highly recommend adopting an animal from Dogs in Distress😊

A wonderful dog rescue. I have adopted 3 beautiful dogs from Dogs in Distress in the past number of years. I can't rate them highly enough.

We adopted our beautiful spaniel/collie cross Maya last August 2025. She was very nervous and we had to work hard with her and a trainer to help her, and she is coming on great. Dogs in Distress staff were very helpful pre- and post-adoption. Also, when we collected her from the foster, a lot of food, toys, bedding and various leads came with her! We didn't lack for anything, although of course we bought our own bits to welcome her to our family! Here she is now:

Such a seamless experience. All communications clear & conclusive. Home visit by Ciara, very interactive & friendly. All facilitation by Natasha, could not be more helpful. Extremely knowledgeable and pleasant. The whole experience was excellent, the girls were top of their game and our little adopted girl is a sweetheart. Rgds Pat.

We have adopted 2 dogs from Dogs in Distress. They are such a wonderful group of people and so lovely to deal with.They are really helpful with any advice or support after adopting your dog. We can’t thank them enough - both dogs have been so wonderful and a much loved part of our family. So many dogs looking for good homes - rescue a dog from Dogs in Distress - you will be so happy you did.

I’ve fostered for several animal charities in the past, and I can confidently say that the level of support I’ve received from Dogs in Distress is unmatched. Thank you for making a difference in this cruel world.

My husband and I adopted Sammi in February. we were very impressed with Natasha and her dedication to find the right home for Sammi, we were fully informed of Sammis unhappy start in life , and Natasha also explained how best to approach Sammi to help her settle in to her new surroundings. Our own dog took to Sammi straight away and they have become each others play mates. Sammi is enjoying her new life, and even the cat lover her. We were delighted to find Sammi as our own dog was very sad after losing her old best friend so they have helped each other to recovery and happiness again. Sammi would also like to say thank you again to Natasha and her husband for your love of dogs and compassion for our furry friends and family ❤️🤗

Thanks to Dogs in Distress for bringing my two pups into my life. I adopted my two dogs 7 years ago with the support of dogs in distress. The team are genuinely amazing people that selflessly go above and beyond to help animals.

We had a fantastic experience with Dogs in Distress. Natasha was our main contact during Holly's adoption, and I can say that meeting her, having conversations, and receiving help with all our questions was very important to us. Dogs in Distress does a wonderful job rehoming and rescuing dogs across the country. My husband and I are completely in love with our big girl Holly. I hope many other families can find their most loyal four-legged friend just as we did!

My boyfriend and I were looking for a dog to adopt so we got in touch with Dogs in Distress. The entire process from start to finish was amazing. We were so impressed with the application process and how much everyone in DID cared about the dogs and the homes they went to - this was really important to us and we wanted to support a charity that showed care, compassion and kindness towards the animals and the family they went to. The home visit was also very straight forward and Susanna was kind in offering advise as to best settle in the dog and provided advise as to how to make the house and garden more dog friendly. DID are not just about adopting a pet, but they are there for every step of the way, following up after you get your furry new addition to the family and the team are also there to support you in anything you may need in the years to come! I would highly recommend to adopt a dog through them.
