It’s our birthday!
This year marks 140 years of Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home.
In 1884, founders William Chambers and Dr John Brown knew that there was a better way to manage Edinburgh’s stray dogs, so they began campaigning for a dog home for the city.
Thanks to them, thousands of dogs and cats have had a second chance at a happy home in the 140 years since we opened our doors.
Did you know?
Founder, William Chambers, even helped Edinburgh’s most famous dog, Greyfriars Bobby, get a second chance at life when he paid for his dog license in 1867.
