National Dog Day is on Wednesday 26 August. It celebrates responsible dog ownership, adoption, and the inclusion of all breeds. To mark the day, we’ve created a page where you can share your favourite photo, add a message, or dedicate a tribute in memory of a beloved dog who is no longer with us.
Together, let’s fill the sand with paw prints and celebrate the special bond we share with our dogs. If you’d like to make a donation, your generosity will support the many dogs currently in Hope Rescue’s care as they patiently wait to find their person.

Since 2005 Hope Rescue has been saving the lives of stray, abandoned and unwanted dogs that, through no fault of their own, need a second chance. We commit to take all the stray dogs from six Local Authorities in South Wales - Merthyr Tydfil, Torfaen, Blaenau Gwent, Bridgend, Vale of Glamorgan and Rhondda Cynon Taf - irrespective of their age, breed or medical condition. We also help owners in crisis who need to surrender their dogs, giving them peace of mind that their dogs will be rehomed responsibly.
