Who we are

A beach dog is never handled by one person. It is caught, treated, housed and rehomed by a handful of people along this coast, and these are their names.

Day to day we fill and clean the kibble tubes, check the condition of the dogs, and keep the calendars up to date, giving the treatments that prevent the tick-borne diseases that kill.

Our aim is to vaccinate, sterilise and get the beach dogs into better shape, so that they can find a family.

We advise and follow the dog the whole way, from the beach to its own home, alongside its owner.

Every dog here passes through all of them

That is what your contribution pays for: a vet who answers, a bed that is free, and a flight that is booked.
