At Shad’s Legacy, we are dedicated to promoting humane behaviour towards animals, with a special focus on Shepherd and sled dog breeds. Our mission is to educate current and potential dog owners, prevent neglect and suffering, and provide essential care for dogs in need.
We strive to create a compassionate environment where every dog can thrive and find a loving forever home.
Caroline and Lesley have dedicated over 15 years to volunteering with dog rescues, gaining extensive experience, particularly with shepherd and sled dogs. In 2021 they decided to combine their knowledge and passion by starting their own rescue organisation. Initially, they envisaged helping just one or two dogs at a time but the overwhelming need quickly made that goal impossible to maintain.
Witnessing the large number of dogs facing euthanasia in UK dog pounds they shifted their focus to rescuing those dogs who would otherwise be put down, determined to save as many lives as they could.
