Bark and Read

Did you know that dogs love reading too?  That’s what Bark and Read is all about – helping children and young people to learn to love reading with the support of these amazing doggy companions.

Bark and Read helps dogs to help children develop a passion for reading. It was set up to support and promote the amazing work of charities tackling the UK's literacy problems by taking dogs into schools as reading volunteers.

 

Funded by The Kennel Club Educational Trust, Bark and Read is working with charities, social enterprises and individuals in schools and libraries around the UK, helping children to read with their specially-trained support dogs.

 

Visit our Bark and Read corner on The Kennel Club stand to meet our wonderful dog and handler teams.

Breed Rescue pen

The Kennel Club Breed Rescue organisations rehome approximately 6,000 dogs each year. For over 25 years we have supported rescue organisations by publishing a directory of the many general and breed rescue organisations that exist around the UK.

 

Our commitment to rescue continues to grow as we work ever more closely with breed rescue organisations, to support them to find the right homes for pedigree dogs in the UK. Breed rescue organisations have specialist knowledge about their particular breeds and can advise on the type of environment and care that these dogs require.
