Five years ago, I adopted a fluffy little fella named Simba. It hasn’t always been easy, but I can safely say it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. 

Before our paths crossed, Simba had been in a rescue centre for eight months. Without rescue centres, the 664,000 dogs given up by their owners each year would have no hope. The thought that Simba could have been one of the 200,000 dogs euthanised every year after being given up by their owners truly breaks my heart. 

That’s why I’m so grateful for charities like the Dogs Trust. They provide a safety net for dogs whose home has been taken away from them, through no fault of their own, while they wait for the loving family they deserve. The Dogs Trust is the largest dog welfare charity in the UK and they never put down a healthy dog. Their mission is to bring about the day when all dogs can enjoy a happy life, free from the threat of destruction. 

I’d be hugely grateful if you’d be kind and generous enough to donate any amount you can to help the Dogs Trust continue to provide that safety net for as many dogs as possible. 

Many thanks and best wishes, 

Rob (and Simba) xx
