National Pet Month
Dogs Trust West Calder has been celebrating National Pet Month this year by highlighting the benefits of pet ownership.
Canine Carers at the West Calder centre have been raising awareness of some of the amazing benefits associated with owning a dog, including companionship, mental wellbeing and physical health.
Throughout April they have been creating videos and using social media to promote how their residents have been bringing these benefits to the team.
Two current canine residents looking to bring joy to new families are:
- Mindy – This Papillon cross Terrier is a very loving and loyal friend; and a real bundle of joy to be around. Mindy is seven years old and she loves to be outside running around the garden, playing with her squeaky toys. As well as providing companionship and plenty of joy and exercise to her future family, Mindy requires a little extra TLC as she has an ongoing medical condition which will maintaining her treatment in the home.
- Rory – A one-year-old Crossbreed who loves to be active and will most certainly help his potential new owner stay physically fit. Rory is a happy and enthusiastic boy with a real zest for life; and he would benefit from new owners who are patient and understanding. He would also benefit from a family who are willing to continue his training. Having a pet like Rory is a wonderful way to ensure you get plenty of daily exercise and fresh air.
Advice and support is available to anyone thinking of adopting a dog by calling the West Calder centre on 01506 873549 or visiting www.dogstrust.org.uk/our-centres/west-calder/
