We are proud that we are able to offer our Supported Adopted Dog (SAD) Scheme. The initiative, devised by our Dog Welfare Officer several years ago, is aimed at supporting and funding the medical care required for Labradors that arrive into the Charity’s care with otherwise uninsurable documented and ongoing pre-existing conditions. The Scheme allows for many dogs which, without the Charity’s financial support, may not otherwise easily find their new and forever home, when escalating veterinary costs and cost of living rises are having to be considered. 

We are seeing an increasing number of dogs coming into our care who are included under our SAD Scheme for varying reasons, from cataracts, epilepsy, hip and elbow replacements, skin and gut allergies to osteoarthritis and luxating patellas. Many of these dogs have sadly been given into rescue because their homes are unable to afford the on-going financial responsibility for their welfare. As a Charity where a Labrador’s welfare is paramount, we are here to help them. 

The running cost of this Scheme is one of the biggest expense to the Charity, which is why the Supported Adopted Dog Supporter’s Scheme runs alongside it, as a solution to ensure its longevity, and which we can all help to achieve without too much effort or expense on anyone’s part. 

For a contribution of only £5 (minimum) a month, equating to the price of a Costa/Starbuck coffee, by as many people as possible, a huge difference will be made to these Labradors receiving the help which they deserve. In return, you will receive updates on the dogs which you have helped make a difference to.

Many of the homes where our ‘SAD’ dogs are placed often kindly contribute to the Scheme too, but for those dogs that do rely on the Charity’s financial support, we need to be able to ensure we can finance it. 

If you would like to happy in the knowledge that you are making a difference to a lot of our dogs, then please do become a SAD Scheme Supporter!
