Pats supports Birmingham Dogs Home

Charity for 2025: The next Pats will take place from 28-30 September. At the end of the pet supplies and aquatics show, products from the New Product Showcase and Pats exhibitors will be donated directly to Birmingham Dogs Home. The charity cares for stray, abandoned and surrendered dogs from the West Midlands and South Staffordshire, 24 hours a day, every day of the year. The charity has been in existence for almost 130 years, making it one of the oldest animal welfare organisations in the region.

From toys and dog beds to food donations, Gordon Thomas, director of Pats, said: “We chose Birmingham Dogs Home as our 2025 charity because of the great work their dedicated team does. With Pats set to be bigger than ever next year, we hope to donate even more product to the Birmingham Dogs Home.” The next Pats will be held at the NEC Birmingham for the first time and will host up to 500 UK and international exhibitors.
