The centre is currently caring for six dogs like Bruno, but expecting that number to rise to around eight by the end of the week, and is running low on treats. <\/p>\n
Items can be purchased from the centre\u2019s Amazon wish list or via any other online retailer offering direct delivery to the centre. Donations can also be handed into the centre reception between 1pm and 4pm daily.<\/p>\n
Centre manager, Lynda Hourston, said, \u201cWe are in need of treats for the dogs in our care.<\/p>\n
\u201cMany of the dogs in our care have not had the best start in life and have missed out on learning basic commands so we use treats to help with their positive reinforcement training. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis helps them become well-mannered canine citizens and helps get them ready for their new homes.<\/p>\n
\u201cChew treats also keep the dogs stimulated and are longer lasting therefore more enriching for the dogs.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour support means that we can continue to provide the best possible care for the animals at our centre.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019d be so grateful for any donations that people can spare and we know the dogs will be too.\u201d<\/p>\n
