Clymping Dog Sanctuary

Clymping Dog Sanctuary We take in unwanted and abandoned dogs and also dogs from people who cannot care for them anymore. Our sponsorship scheme supports these types of dogs.

Clymping Dog Sanctuary is a Registered Charity under the Charities Act 1960 - Charity Reg No. 279937

Clymping first opened its doors back in 1952 by Mrs Kathleen Grellier and the then Duchess of Norfolk. As a sanctuary, we aim to find homes for any waifs & strays or otherwise unwanted dogs. We want all our dogs to be properly cared for and to feel safe and loved not only in the time they are with

us but also when they go to their forever homes. Our policy is to never put a clinically healthy dog down which means we sometimes have a few long-term "stayers" until the right owner comes along. From time to time, we do have dogs we take in that have health problems that require veterinary treatment. These health problems can sometimes be resolved after a few visits but sometimes they require regular checks or medication. Sometimes we have dogs that we feel will never be homed due to their condition or behavioural problems. It costs £20 per dog per day to house, feed and care for them. Add to that any vet bills (which can be huge!) on top of this means we rely on the generosity of others to help keep our shelter open, so we can help give all the gorgeous dogs the lives they deserve. You can help keep our kennels running by fundraising, volunteering or by donating, no matter how big or small, via the link on our page. We are so grateful for any support you can give us. Please remember, adopt don't shop! Your new best friend could be waiting for you at Clymping.

Well that’s a wrap for our 2026 show!!
And wow what a show it was🥹

This year has exceeded all other years financially raising a wonderful £13,059.50✨✨✨

Our tiny team managed to pull off what we think was a wonderful day. And it wouldn’t have been possible without the people who took their time to help us out•

After our sound man cancelled 14 hours before the start, the fantastic Mark Anstead - Musician stepped up and saved the day! A rollercoaster of emotions to get there and we are so grateful for Mark•
Our normal van man wasn’t around so the amazing Domanic, Darnell Man With Van filled in last minute and made sure all of our things for the show were loaded up Saturday evening and delivered 7am Sunday morning!
Absolutely Anything Cleared took all of our rubbish at the end of the day, a regular superhero for our show•

Another disaster was our paramedics dropping out Saturday. The wonderful Barbara at Kismet Services and Kismet Training & Consultancy changed her plans last minute to ensure we had someone there all day Sunday

Thank you to Mel and Lena for their new Clymping tarot stall! A huge success! Our fabulous judges, Ben and Simon, we love having you along with our category judges❤️

And finally is all our amazing organisers and volunteers. Our two trustees Hazel and Sophie for organising the day along with Dom and Wendy doing so much to make the day possible.
