Hope Rescue

Hope Rescue is a bit different to most rescue charities because it’s primarily a ‘co-​ordinating’ rescue rather than housing the dogs themselves.
Its main role is in getting dogs out of emergency situations, such as if they are going to be put to sleep unnecessarily, and Hope then works to find a suitable rescue space for them with other reputable rescue centres such as Dogs Trust and the RSPCA, as well as smaller local rescues and breed-​specific rescues. Hope Rescue then also covers transportation to the dog’s new rescue centre.
Most of the dogs they deal with are strays from Local Authority pounds which would otherwise be put to sleep after the 7 statutory days they must be kept for. On average they move around 10 dogs a week, but at some times this can peak to as high as 25.
They use boarding kennels in Llantrisant and Caerphilly to hold dogs if there is any delay in their rescue space becoming available. And although they’re mainly a co-​ordinating rescue, they do sometimes end up taking in dogs for rehoming themselves, if they can’t secure rescue spaces — for example if the dog has a medical problem, or is very old.
Obviously they have kennelling expenses as well as transportation costs to cover, so you can donate to help fund their rescue missions.
