In May, Scotland heads to the polls, and we believe dogs deserve a voice in that election too. Our manifesto shows candidates what we want to see if they are elected to make Scotland the gold standard for dogs 🐶🏴 Sign up as a Pawlitical Champion: bit.ly/3YHUINu

After years of campaigning, we’re proud the Dog Theft (Scotland) Bill has PASSED! 🐾 ✅Dog theft is now a standalone crime ✅Emotional impact considered in sentencing ✅Scotland joins England & NI in protecting our beloved pets.

We did it! 🙌 With your help, our decade long campaign to end puppy smuggling has resulted in a new law to protect dogs. Thank you to all our supporters who help us to make the world a safer place for dogs 💛 But we still need your help ➡️ bit.ly/47QA17l







A pet can turn rented accommodation into a home.🏠 If passed, the Housing (Scotland) Bill will strengthen the rights for tenants to keep a pet, but we think it can go further. We are asking MSPs to support the key changes we want to see in the Bill. dogstrust.org.uk/support-us/cam…






As we have been experiencing warmer weather, we have some advice for keeping your dogs safe. Within minutes, a dog can die in a hot car so don’t take the chance.




A huge thanks to @colinsmythmsp for sponsoring our event today. It’s been great to see so much support for dog welfare 🐾


Toby is here to give some good advice to prepare for the dreaded fireworks 🎆 Toby is just one of many of our dogs who are quite noise sensitive and struggle with the loud bangs of fireworks 🥺
