Secure a Forever Home for Woody, Britain's most forgotten dog


Secure a Forever Home for Woody, Britain's most forgotten dog
The Issue
The right to a warm, loving home isn't reserved for humans alone, but extends to our furry companions. As someone who believes that every dog deserves a loving home, this story is deeply personal to me. Woody, who has been named "Britain's most forgotten dog" has spent years at the Dog's Trust Re-homing Centre and is desperately in need of a permanent home.

Woody, a Shih Tzu cross poodle, arrived at a Dogs Trust rehoming centre in Shoreham, West Sussex, in September 2015 after his owners struggled with some of the animal's behaviours.
Michaela Wells, assistant manager at the centre, said Woody was overlooked by potential new owners due to his medical conditions, which are managed with regular medication.
"He deserves to spend his next birthday on a cosy sofa, not in a kennel," she said.
We can change this. With your signature, we can raise awareness about Woody's situation and help him find a loving family that he rightly deserves. We can also use this opportunity to shed light on the plight of other dogs, who like Woody, have been living in re-homing centres for years.
Our goal isn't just a signature on this petition, but a revolution in attitudes towards re-homing older dogs like Woody. Please, sign this petition to help Woody and dogs like him.
