Unfortunately this year we have four dogs who will be spending their Christmas in kennels and we’re looking for sponsors for them! Rory, Akira, Merry and Pippin have yet to find their homes, so we’re counting on 2025 to bring them better luck. Could you sponsor one of these unlucky Underdogs?

Rory has had the worst luck since arriving in the UK. His first home had a resident dog who just wouldn’t accept him, and his second home felt they lacked the experience he needed to thrive. Rory has asked Santa for an active home with a garden, and a family who understand young, energetic dogs and the training they need. Sponsor Rory here.

Akira’s foster home fell through at short notice and she has been living in kennels since September despite being happy, healthy and raring to go! She is an energetic girl with a love of adventure and she would relish a home where she’s the apple of someone’s eye! She’s assigned herself Princess status, and we’re not going to tell her otherwise. Sponsor Akira here.

Merry was rescued back in March and has unfortunately just been overlooked time and time again. He is a super intelligent, active and adventurous boy who’s just not yet been spotted by the perfect adopter. He is going to make the most incredible companion given the chance, but unfortunately this Christmas will be spent in the shelter rather than on the sofa. Sponsor Merry here.

Pippin has been battling ill health for most of 2024 so isn’t quite ready to leave the kennels yet, but sadly that means Christmas won’t be sent with a family this year. He is doing so well and everyone who visits absolutely adores him and his gorgeous nature, so we’re hoping the New Year brings him health and happiness aplenty! Sponsor Pippin here.

The cost of ongoing kennel care is a big expense for a small charity, and we appreciate any help you can offer. We love our Underdogs, and we only want the best for them. We work with kennels where the dogs are treated as well as the dogs the staff have at home, but it’s still not a forever home, and we’re hopeful that 2025 will be less punishing to these beautiful four pups.

Thank you for your support 🧡
