Thanks to our
Friends Group
Since our last newsletter, the Friends
of West Hatch have been busy supporting
the Centre by purchasing items which
make a world of difference to the animals
in our care and by providing ongoing
financial support to adopters. Thanks to
our Friends group, we now have:
• Memory foam beds
For our elderly and large dogs to make
their stay in kennels more comfortable.

• New gazebos
To replace the ones that were damaged
beyond repair during our Easter Egg Trail
due to inclement weather.
• Water bowsers
To enable us to fill in the pools and
water bowls in our dog exercise areas.
• New pig arks
To replace our existing, tired ones as
part of our new pig field development.
• Stuffed dogs
To help us assess canine behaviour more
effectively and safely.
• Cat activity centres
To keep our moggies entertained.
• Overnight treatment room
To add a hatch to the existing room so
resident dogs could have access to a
secure outside run.
• Sandpits and paddling pools
To provide enrichment and stimulation
for the dogs in our care.
• Gravel
To create borders around the waterfowl
paddocks to help with water quality and
disease control.
The Friends Group have also provided
support for the following:
• Microchipping days
Fully sponsored our microchipping
events so we could offer the service free
of charge to members of the public.
• Adoptions
Lifelong supply of Apoquel for Tara the
Labrador who was adopted and suffers
from recurring itchy skin.
