Today, we have launched our second annual Pupcake Day which takes place on October 5th. We are asking the public to hold their own bake sale to help raise vital funds for our Rehoming Centre.

Sadly, over the last 12 months, Dogs Trust has received 98 requests from expectant parents and 39 requests from parents who had just had a new baby, wishing to surrender their dogs. We want to highlight, through their ‘Be Dog Smart Week’, that having a baby doesn’t have to mean giving up your dog and that preparation is key to introducing your family dog to your new arrival.

‘Generation Pup’ is the first study to follow dogs of all breeds from puppy-hood as they grow up into adults
