About the West Calder (Edinburgh) centre
Welcome to Dogs Trust West Calder! We're a happy, friendly team and would love you to come and visit us at the centre to see our fantastic facilities and all the waggy tails of our doggy guests.
We can care for up to 55 dogs in our 37 kennels, and we make sure our residents get plenty of enrichment in our training barn, and walking areas. We also have a garden with a log cabin, and an on-site vet room.
