About The Kennel Club Charitable Trust

The Kennel Club Charitable Trust funds work that improves the health, welfare, and working lives of dogs in the UK and beyond, with a strong emphasis on canine science, assistance/support dog training, and rescue or welfare services. It also uses awards and special funds to recognize excellence in canine research and to provide targeted support to small dog charities during periods of need, such as the cost-of-living crisis. Applicants are typically veterinary researchers, assistance dog organizations, rescue charities, and other dog-welfare groups with projects that are clearly tied to dog health or welfare outcomes.
