THE DOGS TRUST


One of the most enjoyable parts of being a parliamentary candidate is the opportunity to visit and see the valuable work done by the charity sector.
I have recently been lucky enough to visit the Dogs Trust, our local branch is based in Shoreham. I met up with their Chief Executive.
As a dog lover and owner, it was for me a great opportunity to see first hand the valuable work done by the Dogs Trust locally.
Every year the Dogs Trust cares for about 16,000 dogs throughout the UK.
Their valuable work is funded by donations.
Apart from caring for stray and unwanted dogs, they also run neutering campaigns, have education officers who talk to schools, and advise the government on all matters concerning dogs.
They are also campaigning for the compulsory microchipping of dogs - to more easily identify stray animals.
It is great to see local people giving their time in support of animals.
If you are thinking of supporting a charity, then you could do no better than support the Dogs Trust.
