Dogs Trust is holding an online poll right now to help name five puppies born during the coronavirus lockdown.
Videos and photos of the pups will be appearing on the charity’s social media feeds throughout Thursday May 7, with voting closing at 10am on Friday May 8. Anyone interested in voting can do so by visiting the charity’s Twitter, Instagram and Facebook accounts using the @DogsTrust handle.
The litter of five terrier pups were born at the Uddingston centre five weeks ago, after their mother was found as a stray by local authorities, while heavily pregnant. The mother, who was named Linda by staff at Dogs Trust, has been receiving lots of TLC and is fully recovered.
The charity’s canine carers have also been giving the puppies round the clock care, to make sure they remain as healthy as possible. This has all been happening while adhering to the government’s social distancing restrictions, as the charity’s rehoming centres are currently closed to the public.
Sandra Lawton, rehoming centre manager at Dogs Trust Glasgow, said:
“At Dogs Trust we’re very lucky because we get to spend lots of time with gorgeous puppies like these. We know that with Government restrictions in force many people are spending much more time at home, with fewer distractions and may need a little pick-me-up in the shape of five bundles of furry joy to behold – and name!”
