Why we need your donations
Children helping dogs. Dogs helping children. That’s the motto of Underdog International – a global charity that brings therapy dogs into schools, runs dog rescue schemes and manages animal welfare projects all around the world. We aim to positively impact one million children and dogs by 2025.
Your donations make our vital work possible - from Romania to Uganda, China to the UK - we have dogs in schools helping children build confidence or learn essential life lessons and skills.
Dogs are teachers, physiologists, friends and confidants. They are soft and gentle comforters, and non-judgemental listeners - even though they don’t realise it! We see it time and time again - dogs are our very best friends, in so many ways.
