Our Story

The National Animal Welfare Trust rescues and rehomes over 1,200 homeless pets in the UK every year. During an animal’s time in rescue, we work hard to provide them with training, rehabilitative care and enrichment that will help them through a difficult period of their lives and prepare them for life in a new home. We operate a safe, non-judgemental environment and never stop caring.

Although we've been helping animals for 47 years, we are never complacent and constantly seek new, innovative ideas we can implement to improve our work and help more animals.

Open Paw was one such innovation; originally developed in the US, we're proud to be UK pioneers for the project and recently given a seal of approval from Open Paw Co-Founder Kelly Gorman-Dunbar as ‘a centre of excellence and ambassador for Open Paw in the UK'.

Open Paw works to improve the lives of animals during their time in rescue, train them and prepare them for life in a new home. http://www.nawt.org.uk/
