Turning the winter woes into winter wows!

Winter is here and aren’t we all feeling it? Many of us will struggle to muster up the motivation to exercise, not to mention even waking up in complete darkness and cold! We will look at how a pet can turn all of this around with their warm morning cuddles and up-and-go energy that will kick the winter blues right out of you!

Winter at the Home

The Lost Dogs’ Home is expecting to receive almost 6500 cold, terrified and lost cats and dogs over the next few months. Winter is a time when staff and resources at the Home are stretched to their absolute limits as a result of lower and slower reclaims of pets and a decrease in adoptions due the cold and wet weather.

We look at what you can do to help and why adopting in the winter months can be a time to form a close bond with your new pet.
