Pupcakes Background

Born out of a love for wanting to be the difference in the rescue world, Pupcakes Rescue was established by our lead behaviourist Liz after she fostered dogs with behavioural issues for local rescues to help alleviate the strain on overflowing shelters. It soon became apparent that there was a real gap in the rescue world for dogs that had a bite history or complex behavioural needs. After realising there was nothing for these dogs and finding out that euthanasia was the most suggested option, Pupcakes was born.

Initially helping to rehome traumatised Romanian rescues with no U.K. back up and unclaimed strays, Pupcakes has evolved into a sector leader, and became one of a very small handful of rescues in the country to safely rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome dogs with complex behavioural issues and bite histories from across the UK.

Pupcakes took on the most vulnerable dogs, particularly those at risk of euthanasia. Working with animal organisations across the country including big names like the RSPCA , Battersea, The Dogs Trust and Woodgreen who we have been so proud to partner with.

The rescue stepped forward for dogs that could not be placed with other rescues due to foster restrictions, or a lack of experience with dogs with more challenging needs and offered a lifeline to dogs unable to be safely rehomed with the general public until extensive behavioural work was carried out.
