Existing Campaigns:

#Pawsforthought - A campaign that encourages people to stop and think before getting a dog for christmas. A dog is not a novelty, its a responsibility. Many dogs are dumped after christmas so this campaign tries to make people think twice about buying dogs for christmas when it might not be something they are really willing to take on for the many years to come. 



Other campaigns include:
  • Awareness of puppy smuggling.
  • Greyhound welfare.
  • Breeding and advertising of dogs.
  • Dangerous dogs act - 1991.
  • Restrictions on dogs in public spaces - PSPO and DCO powers.
  • Dog fouling.
