Wild at Heart Foundation is powered by a team of dog-lovers, all of whom are passionate, driven and deeply committed to bringing about change. Alongside the inexhaustible drive and compassion of our founder Nikki, a full-time team of five are responsible for all the charity’s adoptions, global projects, campaigns, and events.
It is only thanks to the amazing support of a team of dedicated volunteers (and the less practical, but well-meaning support of our canine contingent!) that Wild at Heart Foundation is able to achieve our goals, and we’re so grateful to all our volunteers, partners, and ambassadors for helping us on our mission to end the suffering of dogs all over the world.
Though we all have different roles, every member of the Wild at Heart Foundation team works tirelessly to achieve the same goal – to facilitate the rescue and adoption of thousands more dogs from all over the world.

The Wild at Heart Foundation team would be nothing without the wagging tails and wet noses that power them! As a team of dog-lovers, it goes without saying that we owe our unending thanks to the dogs that get us through each and every day.
We’re so grateful to have a truly amazing team of volunteers on board, all of whom play a vital role in helping us achieve our goals. As a small charity, we’re reliant on the support our volunteers provide, and we can’t thank them enough for giving us their time, commitment, and expertise in the name of all things dog.
A special thanks goes to:
Our home checkers
A team of volunteer home checkers help to ensure that the adoption process runs as smoothly and efficiently as possible. They give up hours of their free time across evenings and weekends to help liaise with all potential adopters, and ensure that we’re rehoming all our dogs to honest, caring and responsible homes. During the home check video call, our lovely home checkers are also there to answer questions, talk through any potential concerns, and generally provide an invaluable insight into the experience. We couldn’t do it without them!
Our fosters and drivers
We’re incredibly fortunate to be supported by a wonderful community of dog-lovers who play a crucial role in helping bridge the gap between shelter and forever home. Our foster carers provide a safe and stable home for a dog to settle in between locations, be it for a few days or a few months. Our volunteer drivers have also helped transport so many of our dogs across the country (and sometimes even across continents!), all in the pursuit of helping more dogs into happy homes.
Our events volunteers
As we continue to build and expand our charitable events calendar, we’re more reliant than ever on the support of volunteers. We’ve been so honoured to meet hundreds of people who are willing to roll up their sleeves and help out at our events and fundraisers. Whether its manning the bar or selling raffle tickets, rattling a collection bucket or even hosting a specialist event, we’re so grateful to anyone who donates their time and skills to help raise money for our cause.
Friends of the charity
