Newbury MP Laura Farris visits Dogs Trust Newbury on Valentine's Day

Rescue dogs looking for new owners at Dogs Trust Newbury were treated to a visit by Newbury MP Laura Farris on Valentine’s Day.

It was Mrs Farris’ first tour of the Hamstead Marshall rehoming centre and she was greeted with multiple wagging tales and excited barks.

Mrs Farris said: “I really enjoyed visiting Dogs Trust Newbury, and it is fantastic to see how hard the staff work to ensure that all of the dogs in their care are well looked after.

“I was impressed by the passion and enthusiasm that Dogs Trust staff have for the well-being of their canine residents and the way they go above and beyond to rehome so many unwanted dogs across Berkshire and beyond.”

Dogs Trust Newbury’s deputy manager Karla Haines said: “We were delighted to welcome Laura to our rehoming centre to show her the work we do for the dogs in our care.

“Like all of us at Dogs Trust Newbury, it is wonderful that Laura also cares so deeply about animal welfare and it was a fantastic opportunity to show her the hard work and dedication that goes on behind the scenes to prepare dogs for their forever homes.”
