Volunteers helping dog-owners in need
Set up in response to the pandemic in March 2020, Underdog Unity is a nationwide network of over 5,000 volunteers across the UK helping dog-owners affected by the impacts of COVID-19 or who are unable to fully care for their dog for other illnesses and physical or mental health reasons. Since then, we now help anyone who is not able to walk their dog, whether due to physical ill health or mental health.
All Underdog Unity volunteers are vetted and receive guidance and training to ensure they understand the responsibility of their role in looking after someone else’s dog – some volunteers are dog behaviourists or dog walkers by trade, and all others have experience with looking after their own dogs.
If you have experience with dogs, whether that be professionally or personally, and would like to volunteer, you can register by clicking the orange box below. If you are in need of help for your dog, you can call 020 8050 4292, email hello@theunderdog.org or register using the red box below..
The Underdog Unity project is featured on the BBC’s Morning Live with Gethin Jones and Kym Marsh.
