Giving back

Paws, hearts and helping hands

Hi, I’m Leon Warren, founder of ORLAGH’S. This is more than a project to me — it’s a calling. For many years dogs have filled my life with joy, comfort and purpose. I believe every dog deserves respect, love and a fulfilling life, and every dog parent deserves support, confidence and guidance.

The full story

I started ORLAGH’S to make that belief real. Over the years I’ve poured my heart, time and every spare penny into offering free and accessible educational services — engaging training classes, a comprehensive puppy guide, workshops and outreach — all to help owners raise balanced, healthy and happy dogs. Without external funding, I’ve built this from scratch, even while studying for my degree.

Now I’m ready to take the next step. That’s why I’m asking for your help.

What I’m raising money for

A professional agility kit

To expand ORLAGH’S free weekly community events, so dogs and their people can bond, build confidence and benefit from structured enrichment.

A mobile Emergency & Enrichment Van

I’m converting a van into a fully equipped hub to serve dogs and communities in need. It will have:

  • Safe transport and cages for emergencies, rescue or rehoming
  • A grooming station for stray or community dogs
  • A “dog kitchen” to prepare nutritious treats and enrichment
  • Tools for first aid, health checks, behaviour education and wellness outreach

This van will let me reach far more dogs — especially those in crisis — and give support where it’s most needed.

Why this matters

  • Rescues & rehoming

    Many dogs need help right now. With the van, I can respond directly.

  • Owner support & education

    Giving people the knowledge, tools and confidence they need helps reduce surrender rates.

  • Community & connection

    Agility, classes and public events bring owners and dogs together, reduce isolation and strengthen bonds.

  • Transparency

    Every purchase, upgrade and expense will be documented and shared with donors, so you know exactly how your support is used.

How you can help

  • Donate

    No amount is too small. Every pound moves us closer.

  • Share this campaign

    Tell friends, family and dog lovers, and share it on social media.

  • Engage

    Ask questions, follow our journey and spread awareness.

When you support this campaign, you’re not just funding equipment or a van — you’re investing in a future where dogs in crisis get help, dog owners feel empowered, and whole communities come together through love, care and action.

Empower growth

This is more than a project to me — it’s my life’s work. Dogs are with us for far too short a time, and every day with them is precious. With your support, I can grow ORLAGH’S into something much bigger: reaching more families, helping more shelters and, most importantly, giving more dogs the long, happy lives they deserve.

Your kindness will directly help create a future where no dog is left behind and no owner feels alone. Together, we can make every tail wag a little longer, stronger and happier.
