Fresh, insect-based dog food company Tuggs has announced a partnership with Wunderdog Rescue.
Wunderdog Rescue was born in 2018 when Kasey Carlin, the charity’s founder, fostered Maggie, a rescue dog from Lebanon who had suffered heart-wrenching abuse. Maggie had, devastatingly, been used as target practice. She was covered in wounds and had been left blind, with broken bones and a missing ear.
Kasey’s plan was never to adopt Maggie, but to provide her with temporary foster care until Maggie found her forever home. Due to Maggie’s condition, however, there had been little interest in adopting her, and she went months without a single application. But Kasey quickly fell in love with Maggie’s kind-hearted nature and lust for life – and decided to take her in permanently.
Kasey saw that perfectly healthy and happy dogs were spending their lives in shelters because past abuse had left them with appearances and abilities that differed from society’s norm – but she also recognised their beauty and knew that these dogs made caring and affectionate pets if given the chance.
Fast forward to today and Wunderdog Rescue has helped countless dogs settle into their new lives, and find their forever homes.
Along with their disabilities and differences, most of the Wunderdogs have lived difficult lives with a lifetime of poor nutrition – but Kasey works hard to rehabilitate each dog so that they can live happy lives in the UK. To aid their recovery, every month Tuggs will provide all of the food required to feed the dogs at the Wunderdog Rescue.
Tuggs uses fresh, human-grade meat, vegetables and insect protein to create complete, balanced meals that are not only the healthiest choice for your dog but also contribute to reducing your carbon pawprint. Tuggs is proud to be fueling all of the Wunderdogs with what they need to thrive, and to play an important role in their rehabilitation.

Harry Bremner, Founder of Tuggs, said: “At Tuggs, we believe that every dog deserves the best. So deciding to make Wunderdog Rescue our charity partner was an easy choice. The Tuggs team recently spent a day in Brighton with Kasey, Maggie and all of the other Wunderdogs. Despite the traumas of their past, the Wunderdogs are incredibly trusting, playful and most importantly, happy – which is a testament to the care that Kasey has put into ensuring that they each get the best second chance. It is clear to see how special these dogs are, and how deserving they are of a loving home.”
Kasey Carlin, Founder of Wunderdog Rescue, said: “The dogs that make their way to Wunderdog Rescue have often lived their early years trying to survive. They have physical differences, disabilities or higher needs and most will need intensive rehabilitation in the form of physiotherapy and in some cases surgery. In order to set them up for success we chose to seek out a complete dog food that would provide the substance they need to live long and happy lives despite their past experiences.”
