Specialist care, every step of the way Since we opened our doors in north London in 1924, we’ve been transforming pets’ lives. Today, we’re making a bigger difference than ever through the vital services we run at our centre in Godmanchester, Cambridgeshire and in local communities. But there’s so much more that goes on behind the scenes! One-to-one support Wood Green’s website is packed with expert advice on dogs, cats and small pets. But you can also get in touch with us online, on email and over the phone. Whether you’re looking for general advice on caring for your pet or you need urgent support, we can help. Training, workshops and classes At Wood Green we pride ourselves on having a team of qualified behaviourists and trainers to support owners. Our approach to training and behaviour modification is based on current scientifically proven methods. This support transforms pets' lives, even 'difficult' dogs with the most complex needs. We also offer a range of workshops and classes at our centre and online.

Our Stories A fresh start for golden oldie Suzie Suzie is a gentle, ten-year-old German Shepherd cross who’s been with us since October 2020. This gorgeous girl was brought to Wood Green after her owner sadly became unwell and was no longer able to look after her. Bunnies’ friendship flourishes with Wood Green’s help After becoming the proud owner of two adorable bunnies, Mayo and Pickle, owner Lyn made a startling discovery... Hand-reared to happiness Gendry was part of a German Shepherd litter. After their mum rejected them within a couple of hours of being born they were brought to Wood Green to hand rear. Getting Sonia back on her paws Sonia, a one-year-old lurcher, came to Wood Green from a local vet in Cambridgeshire, after she was found abandoned in a car park suffering from a terrible leg injury. But with plenty of care and rest at Wood Green, she was soon back on all four paws. Huskie siblings start over Inseparable husky siblings Kali and Ollie were used to a lot of attention and fuss, so when their owners had a baby, they became very unsettled. After some advice from us and some soul-searching, the huskies came to Wood Green. Carly's new lease of life Meet Carly, a five-year-old domestic cat who was found homeless with a serious leg injury from a suspected car accident. After being placed in the care of the RSPCA, one of their Vets was able to save her leg. She was then adopted by Serena – a Community Outreach Officer at Wood Green. Misty finds her purrfect match At Wood Green, we love a happy ending. So we were delighted when Misty, a much-loved cat at our centre, and previous Sponsorship pet, found a loving home. Fixing friendships: Chica and Logan’s story Sometimes, a bit of space can do the world of good. For Chica and Logan, whose friendship had started to crumble, time apart saved them from being separated forever. Hamster family rescue At Wood Green, we take in thousands of homeless pets into our centre every year. As well as dogs and cats, we give safe shelter to many small animals too. And their stories are often just as heart-breaking. Just like the family of six Syrian hamsters found abandoned in a chalk pit in Cambridgeshire last year. < 1 2 > Online advice Get expert support and guidance 24/7 with our library of pet advice articles.
