'Generosity and dedication have made a huge difference to dogs in need' - Your Letters: January 1

MANY THANKS FROM DOGS TRUST

As 2024 draws to a close, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone in Shropshire who has supported Dogs Trust this year. Your generosity and dedication have made a huge difference to dogs in need.

I am proud to share that, with your support, we have found new homes for thousands of dogs this year, and while these dogs waited for their forever families, we made sure they were cared for in a safe and happy place

This would not have been possible without our dedicated Dogs Trust team, and an army of volunteers, who selflessly give their time and energy to support our work. From walking and playing with our dogs to helping with administrative tasks, tackling the mountain of washing in our centres, and even reading to dogs in kennels, every moment they spend with us makes a real difference. Our foster carers also play a vital role, providing temporary homes for dogs until they find their forever family. To all of them, we are incredibly grateful.

Throughout this year, I have been inspired by the fundraising support we have received, too. Whether running marathons, climbing mountains, or attending our events, each effort helps us go beyond our mission.
