Where Recruitment Meets Rescue

At The Animal People Recruitment Company, giving back isn’t a bolt-on. It’s part of who we are.

Our relationship with Birmingham Dogs Home  is deeply personal and incredibly important to us. As a business built by animal lovers, working every day within the pet and animal health industry, we believe we have a responsibility to use our platform for good.

Birmingham Dogs Home rescues, rehabilitates and rehomes hundreds of abandoned and mistreated dogs every year across its two centres. They receive no government funding and rely entirely on donations and supporters to keep their doors open. It costs thousands of pounds every single day to run the charity and provide warmth, safety, medical care and love to dogs who have nowhere else to turn.

That’s why we became a Platinum Corporate Partner and why we donate every single time we make a placement. Every job we fill helps fund food bowls, vet care, bedding, heating and the incredible team who give these dogs a second chance.

In 2025, our Managing Director & Co-Founder, Chris, was honoured to be appointed an official Ambassador for Birmingham Dogs Home, following nearly a decade of fundraising, awareness-raising and hands-on support. Through our work, events, podcast, trade shows and community, we’ve been able to introduce the charity to thousands of “animal people” across the UK and beyond.

What started as a love for dogs has grown into something much bigger - a mission to ensure that every success we have as a business helps change lives not just for people, but for pets too.

When you work with The Animal People, you’re not just building your team. You’re helping rescue dogs find warmth, safety, care and a future.

That’s something we’re incredibly proud of.
