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.

Meet Trinity

Trinity proved too much of a handful for her family, so they made the very difficult decision to hand her into our care. But it wasn’t long before Trinity got her second chance to find a new home.

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.

Meet Grant

Stray West Highland terrier Grant was left abandoned by the side of the road, and brought to Wood Green by a dog warden who found him. With time and patience, he regained his trust in humans and found his way into a loving new home.

Help us be there for more pets

More and more of the pets who arrive at Wood Green have complex needs - they might need life-saving surgery or a lot of support and training to be ready for their next home. And we can only help them thanks to your generosity.

How we find the perfect owner

Our dogs, cats and small animals are a special bunch, and as rescues they've been through much more than your average pet. So when it comes to their next home, we're looking for much more than your average pet owner.
