The Trust also ran 12,806 dog school classes, providing an opportunity for people to get to know their dogs better.

Each shop is run entirely by volunteers with a strong ethos of warm friendliness, and a love of dogs.

Commenting, Peter Fox MS said:

“It was a pleasure to visit the Dogs Trust here in Monmouth.

“As the proud owner of Poppy, a golden Cockapoo,  this is a matter that is very close to my heart, and I am incredibly sympathetic to the aims and objectives of the trust. 

“I would encourage everyone to visit the shop front, browse the wide variety of clothes on sale and support this brilliant charity by visiting their website.”
