We have donated our biggest donation ever this year of £9,000 to charities from our Dorwest Foundation - which was launched as part of our 70th anniversary celebrations!
The Dorwest Foundation helps dogs and cats that are in need of care, health and quality of life improvement as well as supporting dogs that are trained to help humans either in an assistance, rescue or medical capacity. We donate to established animal welfare charities on an annual basis through the sales of our special foundation products, Keeper’s Mix® & Keeper’s Mix® Sensitive, with 10% of profit from every sale donated.
This year we were able to continue aid with five more amazing charities, including:
- Galgos Del Sol galgosdelsol.org – a licenced charity in both Spain and the UK, rescuing and housing over 300+ dogs in multiple kennel blocks with indoor/outdoor access, running water bowls, and so much more. Follow Mistletoe on Dorwest’s social channels, as they support her operations and recovery!
- Fearne Animal Sanctuary ferneanimalsanctuary.org - rescuing and re-homing animals for over 80 years in the UK, first founded by Nina, Duchess of Hamilton & Brandon at the beginning of the Second World War.
- The Pack Project thepackproject.org – finding UK homes for stray and abandoned dogs and cats from Romania and reducing the stray population in Romania through neutering programmes.
- StreetVet streetvet.co.uk – have helped care for over 2000 pets since inception including: dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets and other animals, through vaccination, microchipping, flea treatment and protection against lungworm, prescription of pain relief and helping fight infections, surgeries and sometimes just sat and listened.
- Pawesome Pensions (NFRSA) pawsomepensions.org.uk - set up to help support retired police dogs from Devon, Dorset & Cornwall Police services and fire dogs from Devon & Somerset Fire and Rescue Services.
In previous years the Dorwest Foundation has donated to various charitable causes, through funding, vouchers, products and equipment, including through dog shows and other events.
Jo Boughton-White, Dorwest MD comments: “Every day brings new challenges to charities, especially in the last few unprecedented years. This cash makes a real difference and I want to thank each and every one of our customers who have contributed. We hope to help even more dogs and cats going forward, and we send a huge thank you to all those who work in the charities for their endless care.”
