Is your dog registered?

All dogs over 3 months in age are required by law to be registered by 1 July. For more information about registration go to:

Warm bedding wanted for the dogs

We are in need of dog bedding for winter. We would appreciate donations of woollen blankets, jerseys and polar fleece as it is difficult to get the bedding dry during the winter months. We often have up to 55 dogs at the centre that require that extra warmth during colder nights.

Any donations of unwanted dog covers would also be extremely useful.

If you can help our K9 friends out in this regard please drop the items off at the Animal Centre during opening hours (see below).
