Come and join us for a fun afternoon at Langore. All proceeds from the dog show will help to find new homes for trailhounds across the country. On behalf of Lakeland Trailhound Welfare (and myself), I would like to thank Glebe Veterinary Surgery for providing us with the most fantastic rosettes 😁

Imagine being scared… and the person you rely on most pulls you harder. 💔

For so many dogs, especially those with sensitive histories or sighthound temperaments, shouting or lead corrections don’t build trust… they create fear and confusion.

Kindness isn’t weakness. It’s the foundation of learning, connection, and lasting change.

If your dog freezes, flinches, or shuts down on walks… it’s not stubbornness. It’s communication. And they’re asking for space, time, and understanding.

Let’s normalise giving dogs time to feel safe. If you agree, pop a 🤍 in the comments.

We just wanted to thank everyone for coming this afternoon and I hope you had as good a time as we did. Arlo is happily crashed out on top of Percy Pig (much to Poppy’s disgust!!) and looks forward to seeing you all again in a few months.

Do Good on Good Friday 💛

Real Rabbits come with Real Responsibilities & with the UK in a rabbit welfare crisis, we think it’s time for change!

We’re calling for:

- Stronger breeder licensing laws
- Better enforcement & resources for Local Authorities
- A statutory Code of Practice for rabbit welfare

This Easter, please consider writing to your MP and ask them to support our call for change -
We have produced a letter template that you can download here: https://rabbitwelfare.co.uk/better-legislation-for-rabbits/

THANK YOU 💜
