TES the largest network of teachers in the world

Dogs Trust is the UK's largest dog welfare charity and we are working towards the day when all dogs can enjoy a happy life, free from the threat of unnecessary destruction.We have 18 Rehoming centres across the UK and help stray and abandoned dogs to find new, happy homes.Dogs Trust believe that by educating young people about the responsibilities and commitment involved in dog ownership, we can reduce the number of dogs that are mistreated and abandoned.Our experience shows that teaching compassion, care and respect towards animals can enrich children's lives in many ways.Bursting with ideas, our education programme is National Curriculum linked and offers a fresh perspective on looking after dogs; with stimulating activities and comprehensive teacher guidance. The education programme is currently being updated, so look out for new resources in 2012!
