Dog photographer donates to Kennel Club Charitable Trust
The Kennel Club Charitable Trust supports canine organisations suffering financially as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Funds will support dog organisations suffering financially from COVID-19.

A well-known dog photographer from Hungary has donated proceedings from a recent photoshoot to the Kennel Club Charitable Trust to support canine charities and organisations through the COVID-19 crisis.

Anna Szabó fought the disease earlier this year and has since made a full recovery. As a passionate dog lover and photographer, she wanted to give something back to the dogs and is now supporting the Emergency Relief Initiative, founded by the Kennel Club Charitable Trust.

Anna, who was most recently commissioned to take the cover photos for the daily catalogues at Crufts 2020, said: “I decided to organise photography projects in Sweden, with help from my friends in the dog world there, to raise funds so that I can give something back to dogs.

“I am a great admirer of the Kennel Club Charitable Trust’s work and its dedication to abandoned and sick dogs, the work they do with rehoming charities and also the many health projects they support,” she said. “Its work makes the dog world a much better place and I hope my donation inspires others to help those in need.”

The Kennel Club Charitable Trust Emergency Relief Initiative was set up to support canine organisations suffering financially or unable to continue their work as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Recipients of funds include Kennel Club Charitable Trust breed rescue organisations, as well as general smaller animal and dog rescues like Tag Pet Rescue in Margate or K-9 Rescue and Remedy in East Sussex.

Revd. Bill King, Chairman of the Kennel Club Charitable Trust said that the Trust is very grateful for Anna Szabo’s donation as well as all other contributions it has received.

“Seeing those important organisations - which work very hard to save lives of dogs every day and give many dogs second chance at life - face difficulties during the pandemic was very difficult,” he said. “We know how important funding is for those smaller organisations and we hope that support they received through our Emergency Relief Initiative will help them get through these difficult times and keep up their excellent and important work in the future."
