Welcome to Staffordshire Bull Terrier Welfare
In the beginning, there was the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, and those
who loved the breed. It wasn't the first among breeds, but it soon became
one of the most popular.
Which is why, many years ago, the need for a separate rescue group
was identified by some of the breed stalwarts, who, as a result started
The Staffordshire Bull Terrier Rescue.
As the need for help increased to major proportions, other areas
throughout the country formed their own local groups to help the
breed they loved.
Our Organisation
In August 1995, it was decided there was a need for a registered charity and
"Staffordshire Bull Terrier Welfare" was created, to work alongside the
other SBT rescue groups in the country, but to have a different unifying role.
The “hands-on” work would be left to the regional groups, whilst
"SBT Welfare" would become a support group, encouraging the others to
work together, as in unity there is strength.
Charitable status was conferred on “The Welfare” (as it's colloquially known)
on 14th October 1996.
“The Welfare” offers financial help to those who have Staffordshire Bull Terriers
and are in need of financial assistance, for veterinary fees, kennelling and similar contingencies.
Requests for such support are subject to a majority approval of the trustees.
Staffordshire Bull Terrier Welfare relies entirely on public donations for its continuing existence.
In their turn, many Staffordshire Bull Terriers rely on “The Welfare” to help them lead a healthy life.
You can help us to help Staffords in a number of ways: by joining as a Friend,
by making a donation, by Standing Order, a charity cheque, remembering SBT Welfare in your will. You may also be
interested in rehoming a Stafford currently in need, which you can do by contacting your nearest affiliated group.

Discover Dogs, Earl's Court, 15th November 2009
As South-East SBT Rescue, the Kennel Club was kind enough to invite us to have a stand at Earl's Court. As this was the first rescue stand,
we were delighted, and arrived early to set up, with the intention of showing that the Stafford is an ideal dog as a family pet. We did decide
to include the whole of the Stafford Welfare, we thought it was the fair thing. Alison & Dave Oakden came over, with a young rescue girl,
called Pixie. Being young and full of beans, she made a great impression on visitors to the stand, and certainly dispelled any doubts anybody
may have had about the temperament of the Stafford. Later in the morning, Val & Stuart came with their two , both rescues, Luna & Oscar.
Again these two loved all the attention they got , and at the end of the day, were quite worn out.
We were honoured to have Andrew Rosindell, M.P. spent a lot of time there, and spoke at length about the problems our breed is facing at present. One of the long time supporters of the Stafford, Juliet Glass also came, with her John. It was good to see such stalwarts fighting so hard for us.Also Mr Mike Townsend, chairman of the K.C. Charitable Trust, came and we had a good chat over the situation.
So at the end of he day, we went home tired but happy ,that we had a fruitfull day, and hope that the public got a good impression of the Staffordshire Bull Terrier.--- John Laker Chairman SBT Welfare.
