We're here for every pet in need

Welcome to Wood Green, The Animals Charity - home of Channel Four's The Dog House.
We help some of the most unloved and unwanted pets get back on their paws, and find them the perfect owner and a new forever home.

We remain open to unwanted and homeless pets 365 days a year, and our centre is currently open to the public by appointment only. We’re seeing more unwanted pets who need urgent surgery, or lengthy training and rehabilitation. Please support our work today.

How we help a pet get back on their paws

Many of the animals that arrive at Wood Green need urgent medical care, and extra patience and attention as we help them get used to humans, homes and other animals again. Come behind the scenes and see how we help every pet in need.

How we help

We believe every pet deserves a warm, safe, loving home. That’s why we never turn away an animal in need, and why we help even the most ‘difficult’ pets with personalised health or behavioural programmes until they’re ready to search for their forever home.

And we’re here for humans too – with advice, support and training to make you the best owner a pet could want.

This sweet lurcher was no stranger to Wood Green - unfortunately, she couldn't stay with her first match and came back to us to look again for her new home during The Dog House.
