Who we are
People have been at the heart of our story since we were founded by Lady Gertrude Stock in 1891.
Our passionate and dedicated staff and volunteers have driven our many achievements since then, from changing laws and expanding abroad to supporting thousands of dogs and owners.
Today, every member of the Dogs Trust family plays an important role. From canine carers and volunteers to our chief executive, we’re all here to help dogs and their owners now and into the future.
