Can you help abandoned and neglected dogs?

Our rescue centre provides a safe haven for up to 230 dogs at a time, but with rising costs over the past few years, we need your support to help us care for local homeless dogs.

By playing the Birmingham Dogs Home lottery for just £2 per week, you will be helping us to give every dog that comes through our rescue the love and care that they need. You will also be in with a chance of winning up to £10,000.

These dogs have had a second chance at happiness thanks to our lottery players.

Blue came to us as a stray and it was clear his early life had traumatised him. After 12 months in our care he was able to find a home who understood his complex needs.

Gummy Bear came to us stray, blind, deaf and missing teeth. Nevertheless, he adored cuddles and has now been adopted into a very special home.

Nitro came to us having had a tough, unsettled life. After bonding with his Canine Carers, his shyness melted away and he was rehomed at the start of 2025.

Seth was found abandoned in a park. He was adopted by a family as energetic as him and is now able to enjoy walking, running, swimming and playing.

Peggy arrived as a stray with a severely matted coat. She was rehomed into a family with two other dogs – she's now thriving in her new home.

Finnegan was a 2-year-old Shar Pei who arrived at our centre as a stray with very sore skin and very underweight. Finnegan went to his new fur-ever family in May, and he has settled in very well.
