02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
We are an independent dog welfare charity providing invaluable services to dog owners all over Scotland through various schemes. Dog Aid Scotland offers several schemes to support dogs and their owners facing financial difficulty. Our Neutering Scheme awards vouchers towards getting dogs neutered to avoid unwanted litters and for health benefits. Our Veterinary Aid Scheme gives contributions to applicants facing an unexpected vet bill, helping dogs get the veterinary care they may otherwise go without. At Dog Aid Scotland, we also provide a personal and comprehensive rehoming service. We rehome dogs of all breeds, sizes and ages and as we do not have kennels, we work on a home to home basis matching dogs to suitable homes.
