The Centre
At Dogs Trust Bridgend, we have 40 kennels, and can care for around 80 dogs at any time. We have 2 large enclosed fields, where the dogs can burn some energy and play with some friends during an off-lead run, a training barn, 2 exercise areas filled with fun areas to explore, and on site vet suite.
We have a team of 24 staff, and an excellent group of dedicated volunteers who help with tasks from dog-walking to fundraising. We are located on an old farm site near the village of Pen-y-Fai, surrounded with lots of lovely rural walks for the dogs in our care to enjoy, while they are waiting for their new homes.

Charity Shop
We are really excited to announce that following our online and charity shop sales of the clothing and personal items of singer, actor, author and all round entertainer, John Barrowman, we have raised £6,955.88 for the dogs in our centre! As many of you will know John is a huge supporter of Dogs Trust and kindly opened the shop in September last year. We're so grateful to him for his amazing support!
As he said on his website when we launched the sale:
"It's no secret to anyone who knows me that two of my favourite things are shopping and supporting Dogs Trust. After a recent spring-cleaning, I donated lots of stuff to the new Cowbridge shop, including posters, watches and boxes of clothing. I hope you'll pay a visit and share in my favourite things."
