Dogs Trust

We're back! It's been a busy summer for Dogs Trust, and here at the Salisbury rehoming centre, we celebrated a very 'yappy' first birthday for our Specialist Rehoming Unit. In this episode of our Pawcast, Lucy talks to Jacinta, Gemma and Nico about everything that's been happening at the Stepping Stones facility over the Summer. Also, with Halloween and Guy Fawkes just around the corner, the team discuss some helpful tips to keep your four-legged friends happy, calm and comfortable during this time of year. We're all super excited to be back with our Pawcast and have plenty of exciting news, advice and training tips coming during the remainder of 2019 and on into 2020.

Well here we are, 2019 is well underway, and many of us are have made resolutions, signed up to gyms and promised to do all sorts of activities in the attempt to live a little healthier. On our first episode for the new year, Lucy talks to Ron Lightfoot about how he lost 48lbs (almost three and a half stone) and reversed his Type 2 Diabetes by getting outside and walking his new best friends Charlie. Ron adopted Charlie from the Salisbury rehoming centre in January 2018, after a little advice and encouragement from his doctor. Several life events had left Ron with low self-esteem, overweight and a bit of a recluse; then Charlie came into his life, and everything changed. You can hear for yourself what a fantastic impact both Ron and Charlie have had on each other. Not only does Ron give Charlie the loving home we want for all our dogs, but Charlie in return also gets Ron out and about, exercising, meeting people and living a healthier, more positive life. We couldn't have thought of a better conversation to start the year. At a time when we're all thinking about making more decisive steps to healthier living, Ron and Charlie show us the power of companionship and getting outside beats any gym or sports club membership.

Here we are, the very first episode of our brand spanking new podcast...or pawcast, as we like to call it. In this episode, coming from the Salisbury rehoming centre, we are introduced to some of the team and discuss the launch of the new Stepping Stones facility, and it's accompanying S.T.A.R. block at Salisbury; what they are exactly and how they can further help the dogs in our care. Being the festive season, we couldn't pass up the opportunity to discuss 'Santa Paws' and what will be happening over the coming weeks. We hope you like our first episode, its very early days and we have big plans for 2019. Please feel free to comment, give us a review and share across the various social platforms. 2018 has been a fantastic year for Dogs Trust, but it wouldn't be at all possible without our fantastic supporters. We would like to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a pawsome New Years.
