Happy National Dog Walker Appreciation Day to our brilliant volunteer dog walkers who turn up every week, come rain or shine, on weekdays, weekends, Bank Holidays and Christmas Day.
Whether you’re heading off on an hours long trek through the countryside or having some cuddles in a paddock, you are the highlight of our dogs' days, and we are so grateful to you for loving them as much as we do!

Pepper zoomies
Sweet Pepper, she can be a timid girl but she has a cheeky side ready to come out! She is smaller than our usual lurchers at about 20kg she is more collie-sized, so if you love a pointy nose but don't want such long legs taking up room on the sofa* then she may be the girl for you!
* not guaranteed.

Microchips and strays
It is National Check your Chip Day, so we thought we'd show you what our Intake team do when we get a stray animal in, to highlight the importance of making sure your details are up to date on your pet's chip!

Thank you everyone for the treats and toys!
Thank you everyone for the treats and toys, we were very touched by the response to our call out and we had fun unwrapping parcels - hope you had fun choosing too! Everything has gone out to all the dog blocks to be used everyday.
Here's just a few of our dogs enjoying them - Marli with her excited feet for schmackos, learning to wait and 'look at me', Spot playing catch and puppies experiencing new textures and shapes as part of their socialisation. And a thank you to Green & Wilds for several kg of treats plus a box of strong big toys for our strong big dogs - Womble is a fan!
Lyle is our resident gentle giant - a big chap with a very soft side.
As a young dog, he has tons of potential and he's made big steps forward with his socialisation training so far.
Think you could provide a home for this handsome boy? Find out more about and apply to adopt on our website: https://www.bathcatsanddogshome.org.uk/adopt/lyle-terrier-staffordshire-bull

Chance is doing a fantastic job with his training. Here he is parallel walking with Norman where he can learn how to mix well with other dogs and conquer some of his fears.
Chance is a Lurcher with bags of energy. We're looking to rehome him with an active household who can help him enjoy playtime and adventures. If you think Chance could be your new companion, complete our adoption forms on our website: https://www.bathcatsanddogshome.org.uk/adopt/max-lurcher
