We understand the challenges that dog rescues in the UK are facing, and we are here to offer our support. Our CPD course is designed to provide valuable skills and knowledge to those working in rehoming centres, and we are offering it at a significantly reduced price to help during these difficult times. Together, we can work towards overcoming the 'Perfect Storm' and continue to make a positive impact on the lives of rescue dogs. Let's make a difference together
