Feed a rescue dog — a week of real meals
Reviewed — suggested amounts · Editorial policy
The simplest gift in the shop and the one that started it: a week of good food for a dog who has known too little of it. The price is a suggested amount, not a shelter invoice.
How much does it cost to feed a rescue dog?
The “Feed a rescue dog for a week” gift has a suggested amount of £10. It is not a measured shelter cost — food costs vary by country, dog and diet — and the donation goes to WARN’s general fund rather than one dog’s bowl. Donate once, or give it as a present with a free printable gift card.
Who should skip this: Skip these picks if they wanted a live animal, a posted hamper, or Gift Aid on the donation. World Animal Rescue Network is a CIC — no Gift Aid, no pet in the hallway. Print our gift card if they need something to open.

Common questions
What does a week of meals actually include?
The tag is named after seven days of complete shelter meals for one dog — dry and wet food matched to the dog's condition, including special diets for dogs recovering from neglect. £10 is a suggested amount for that kind of care, not a breakdown of a shelter’s food bill.
Can I feed a rescue dog every month?
Yes — the £40 monthly kennel sponsorship is named after a dog's warm kennel, bedding and daily care, including food. One-off weekly feeds stay one-off unless you choose to come back.
Will I know my money bought the food?
Not for certain. The donation goes to World Animal Rescue Network’s “Where it’s needed most” fund, and the tag names the kind of care you want to support without restricting how WARN uses the money. WARN emails a payment receipt. If the meals are a present, you can make a printable gift card that names the gift.
