How we help
Every year, we support over 8,000 pets and people.
At Woodgreen, we’re a haven for homeless and abandoned pets. Some are strays who have suffered terrible neglect and trauma. Others are simply in need of some TLC and a fresh start. Whatever the reason for a pet coming into our care, we give them the specialist care they need. And, of course, plenty of fuss!
We go above and beyond for every pet. From life-saving surgery to behavioural and training support, and lots of walkies in between. But the small things matter too. Like ‘kennel comforting’ for dogs who are in need of extra companionship, and finding out what toys really get their tails wagging.
When it comes to rehoming pets, we spare no effort to find the perfect match. Our dogs’ needs are at the heart of our matchmaking efforts, and we do everything possible to make sure they have the best chance of success.
Every happy ending is a reminder of the huge difference we make to the lives of pets and people.
Veterinary care
Our Veterinary team are at the heart of many Woodgreen success stories. Every year, they help thousands of sick and injured animals in desperate need of care. It’s fair to call them our very own miracle workers!
Along with our talented team, we’re fortunate to have a state-of-the-art veterinary surgery. This allows us to give every pet the vital treatment they need. From mending broken bones to life-saving surgery, the team works tirelessly to get every pet back on their paws.
We believe every pet deserves the best possible care, and that’s exactly what our dedicated team provide day in, day out.
Emotional and behavioural training
We meet our fair share of nervous and traumatised dogs at Woodgreen. It’s always a heartbreaking sight. Many of these dogs are strays who arrive in a bad way.
We have a fantastic team of behaviour and training specialists who can help these dogs get their confidence back, and learn to trust again. They get to know our dogs inside-out and put together effective training plans which achieve amazing results.
As well as helping nervous and anxious dogs, our team are on-hand to support struggling owners with expert advice at every step of the pet ownership journey.
Foster care
Every pet at our centre is given the love and care they need, but there’s no place like home. Our incredible team of fosterers are ready to help pets who need some extra support.
For our most vulnerable pets, spending time with a fosterer can do the world of good. Whether they’re recovering from an operation or emotional trauma, it’s a chance to enjoy some extra comfort and attention in a home environment.
Not only does this help them get ready for life in a new home, it also increases their chances of finding the perfect match sooner!
The matching process
At Woodgreen, we match thousands of pets with their perfect homes yearly, going far beyond what you see on The Dog House.
Every dog receives a comprehensive health check and behavioral assessment, allowing us to understand their unique needs and personalities. We craft individualized care plans and envision ideal home environments for each pup. Some may flourish in a quiet, child-free setting, while others crave the hustle and bustle of a lively household.
We consider ongoing medical and behavioral needs, as well as exercise and training requirements. After all, not everyone can keep pace with an energetic Cocker Spaniel! Our unwavering commitment is to find each dog a home where they can truly thrive and live their best life.
We're here for pets like Bella
We couldn't give dogs like Bella the vital care, support and safety they need without the support of people like you. Will you give pets a miracle?
