Dogs Trust is the largest dog welfare charity in the UK, dedicated to the mission: "A dog is for life, not just for Christmas." They never put a healthy dog down and are committed to rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming thousands of dogs every year. Their Shrewsbury Rehoming Centre works tirelessly every day of the year to care for dogs who are patiently waiting for their forever families.

To see their work and dedication first-hand, Andrea Scott, DB Roberts Branch Manager and Emily Little, DB Roberts Sales Negotiator, recently went for a tour of the centre. They were kindly guided by the incredible Dogs Trust team members, Lee and Helen.

Andrea and Emily shared how impressed they were by the care each dog receives. From playful puppies to older dogs needing gentle care, the dedicated team ensures the treatment they get is nothing short of amazing.

Your generosity helps provide comfort, enrichment and a touch of festive joy. Every donation supports essential care, warmth and the small luxuries that show these dogs they haven’t been forgotten.

We are collecting your kind donations until December 19, which gives our team time to deliver every food tin, toy, treat and blanket directly to the dedicated staff and deserving dogs at Dogs Trust Shrewsbury just before Christmas Day.
