Skoda partners Dogs Trust

Skoda is partnering with Dogs Trust, becoming the official vehicle supplier to Dogs Trust Ireland supplying the Trust with two Skoda Roomsters this year to complement their current fleet of Skoda vehicles, writes Trish Whelan.

The two customized Skoda Roomsters will help transport dogs to and from the Rehoming Centre. The Roomster was selected for the Dogs Trust partnership because of its spaciousness and functionality.

In addition, Skoda dealerships nationwide will be collecting funds and raising awareness about the Dogs Trust partnership.

As Ireland's largest dog welfare charity, the core function of Dogs Trust is to reduce the number of stray dogs that are destroyed in Irish pounds each year and to educate the public about canine care. Since opening its state-of-the-art rehoming centre in Finglas, Dublin in 2009, the team of staff have helped over 2,500 stray and abandoned dogs get back on their paws and into loving homes.

The Skoda Roomster entry price is €16,095.
