About Woodgreen Pets Charity

Every year, our teams work tirelessly to provide safe shelter, specialist care, and a brighter future for thousands of pets. And we’re here for owners in need of advice and support too, every step of the way.

We’re dedicated to helping pet owners at every step of the pet ownership journey. Everything we do is about keeping pets and their people together. At its heart, our work is about stopping a pet from ever becoming homeless. And that means preventing and spotting the signs of issues that put them at risk of being abandoned or given up.
