Helping Dogs & Cats UK CIC are a non-profit UK animal rescue.
We support the local community in and around Basingstoke and wider area by rehoming and rehabilitating dog, cats, and other small animal’s by arranging shelter, transport, veterinary care, microchipping, spaying, and neutering.
In addition to our work in the UK, we also help dogs and cats in Romania. We have our own 'Kalm' Shelter and also support individual rescuers in Romania, working alone with little support or financial backing. We help by promoting the animals they have available to rehome, and support with spay and neuter campaigns which is ultimately going to be the best long-term solution to this problem.
Our small team is staffed by volunteers, who are true animal lovers and passionate about animal welfare, freely giving up their time. This means every penny we receive goes directly to helping dogs and cats. Since being established in 2018, to date we have rescued and rehomed over 1000 dogs and cats into loving forever homes.

Many of our rescues have been abandoned or come from traumatic situations, which is why all our rescues enter into foster homes first for assessment.
For dogs coming from Romania, many will have most likely never seen the inside of a house, had a warm bed, a collar round their neck or been walked on a lead. They may have to fight for food and attention, so lots of time and patience is needed to help them settle in. Rescue dogs and cats have so much love to give and to see a nervous or frightened animal turn into a confident one is truly amazing.
In the UK, we spend our time helping with welfare cases. Sometimes, we receive calls from the public that a dog or cat has been abandoned, maybe in danger, or they come via other rescues. We work hard to give them the chance of finding a forever home. The rescue is also involved in spay/neuter and release campaigns for cats and kittens.
