Information
- Founded:
- Louisa Snow founded Wood Green Animal Shelters in 1924 to help alleviate the problem of abandoned and injured animals on the streets of London after the First World War.
Lynn Shaw We adopted a dog from wood green some years ago and when we lost Wilfie we went to adopt another one but we didn't get a look in the excuse was we were both working, sorry but a dog gets used to the home he or she is in and we had a loving home to give to a dog and we were turned down. It is getting harder than child adoption now and that is wrong. By the way no one from the shelter ever came and checked on Wilfie and believe me he had a lovely life even if we were out at work all day.
Vikki Atkinson Orli (previously know as Jess) has now learned how to play with her toys. She has a squeaky toy which gives her endless joy and her bone has been buried in several places while it is not being massacred. She seems happy to be settling in where there is a lot of love and attention. The hugs are the best, though!
Dawn Would like to wish her special girl Tia a very happy 7th Birthday today - Tia was brought into Woogreen Godmanchester aged just 2 weeks old and was looked after by Alan & Jackie until she was old enough to stay in the puppy block with Donna. She was called Cinders then - here she is the day i bought her home.
Vikki Atkinson Orli (known as Jess last week at Woodgreen) is settling in nicely at her new home. We finally have her playing with a bone, enjoying tummy rubs, and smelling flowers in the village green. She is enjoying car rides to various parks and can't wait for her daddy to get home every night. Thank you for rescuing us by letting us have Orli! Oh, and we've only had one accident in the house in 5 days. Not bad for a puppy!

This Bandit (who was Harry at Woodgreen), we brought him home on Monday and I can't believe how well he has settled in - he is already part of the family.
I just wanted to let the staff at woodgreen know he is fine and settling well and that he was absolutely fine with the cat - totally ignores her although might take a bit longer for her to get used to him :)
Diane Jones This was our dog Ben who we got from Wood Green about 10 years ago. Sadly he passed away a few years back, but he was gorgeous and had a beautiful temperament. We are hoping to adopt another dog in the near future.
Cheryl Davitt We adopted Hufflepuff from Godmanchester on 1st June and just wanted to say a great big Thank you to all the staff who helped him and made it possible for us to have him! He is gorgeous and is ever so happy and fun. Thanks again!
Nick Mayhew Would love to talk to someone who currently volenteers at woodgreen or who has done in the past.....
Mandy Ward I am an ex wood greenie i have now been gone for about 12 years now, but last year got lola 107447, she is wonderfull and i love her to bits evan though she is 7 years old she has settled in as though she has been with me all her life.
Christine Gooding nice to hear from you keep up the good work think you do a marverless job love to all christine
Sharyn Simper This is our Bud just a proof that Staffies looked after with responsibilty and love are angels!!!
Jo Ratford This is Teddy from the Wood Green! I could only have him for about 2 months and due to a relationship break up had to give him back. It broke my heart. He is the kindest, most cool, loving and fun dog ever! I hope he is having lot's of fun and hugs with his new family! Staffy's rock! x
Tammy Gray this is amber my mother in laws dog and she also is so dosile and loves to play wiv my children she pines when they go home, she is such a fantastic dog
Tammy Gray this is maye maye, or mayesoon if she has done something she shouldn't, lol. she is just over a yr old and is my 2 yr old daughters dog. she is so loving towards us all and who ever comes around its unbelievable. i have 2 daughters 1 of 2 yrs old and another of 4 months, and maye idolises both of them as do they her. i couldnt imagine life wiv out her and would strongly recommend tis breed to any 1. i trust my dog wiv my childre more than i do adults 100%. i get very annoyed wiv all the bad press in which this breed gets, as people do not understand every dog can attack any1, it is the way in which they are cared for and loved which makes any dog they way they are not the breed
Jayne Gernon The red staffy is Reggie, our baby boy we got when he was 6 weeks old, and the Brindle sitting on the brindle is Archie and Gem, laying down,came from an animal rescue centre in Bishops Stortford
Karen This is Zuki, my Staffie X. As you can see he is absolutely adorable! He loves to play frisbee, fetch and roam free in the woods. He is soft and gentle and while completely scatty is highly intelligent - extremely focussed when there is a sausage involved! He picked us as his family, convincing us both the other one wanted him when neither of us wanted another dog! He made easier the void from the loss of a father and Jesse, our previous dog, and neither of us knows what we would have done without him!
Cheryl Davitt How do I add a fan photo? I wanna share my ktty with you all!
Julia Wise Laura's now been with me for 3 months & took her 1st worming tablet from me this morning ... with no physical damage to my hands or loss of dignity to either of us!! How proud am I ... :o)
Heather
I would just like to say Thank you to the lovely lady I spoke to this morning at Dog intake when we had to bring Clyde back!(I didn't catch her name as I was a tad too emotional)
She was very kind and understanding for what was a bit of an emotional time for me.
I know Clyde will make someone the most amazing dog, sadly he just wasn't right for us!
Unfortunately every call to Wood Green is different so we need to ensure that we have as much general information as possible to cover all enquiries. We do aim to have as much information as possible on our website regarding the animals looking for homes and what will or won't be suitable however it may be that areas are missed if a member... Read More of staff is called away to deal with the animals here onsite. The majority of dogs on the website do have information about whether they can be housed with cats however this can be missed on occassions. Apologies.
