A lesser known impact of picking up #litter is the boost it gives to our #mentalhealth You can immediately see the difference you’ve made, can be satisfied knowing that litter will not harm an animal or child, that it won’t reach the sea or be someone’s excuse to drop litter. Try it & see #dogs
It’s Friday!!! Get that #FridayFeeling every day of the week by picking up a couple of pieces of #litter on walks. It’s the simplest (& quickest) way to protect animals, communities & the environment there is! 😜 Join us! 29,600 dog owners & counting… #dogsofbluesky
Congratulations to Corran winner of our #pinthepark Selfie Competition! Thanks to all who tagged us in photos. We loved them! Many thanks for supporting our charity’s message & encouraging more to pick up #litter on #dog walks Do YOU have a great #tongueouttuesday photo? #Edinburgh #dogshow
To a labrador absolutely everything is edible. That is their truth. 🙄 We pick up litter to protect animals from harm & don’t encourage an interest in litter as so many are injured by it. Is this something YOU do? #dogwalk #forestwalks #dogsofbluesky #litter #litterpick
It’s easy to feel helpless at the scale of #litter but when you’re part of a community of 29,500 dog owners removing 43 million pieces every year on #dog walks, you’re actually quite powerful. Help protect animals, your community & the #environment Join us & make a difference!
#PinthePark starts tomorrow at Cousland #Midlothian! Visit us in the Wee Market tent - enter our gin raffle & tombola, pose at our Selfie Station & try our litterpick challenge. Loads of fun with activities,dog show & beautiful dogs!! 🐕 See you there! #dogshow #edinburgh
The @commonwealthgames.bsky.social Baton Relay’s coming to #Stonehaven this Friday 10th July at 2.30pm Many thanks to Clare Smith from @scottishwater.bsky.social for bringing the event here & inviting our charity to be involved. If you’re in the area, bring your #dogs along & join in. All welcome!
Just as labradors never fail to remind you of dinner time, here’s your reminder that if you REALLY love animals you don’t drop #litter & you pick some up when you can. It only takes a minute & collectively removes 43 million pieces every year. What have YOU picked up today?
Refuse to accept #litter as the norm, it’s NOT! Don’t walk by, don’t accept it. Pick it up when you see it. Lead & others will follow. We are a powerful force. Litter is a danger to animals, our communities & the environment. #dogsofbluesky #protectanimals #litter #dogcharity
What’s #PawsonPlastic all about? Here’s our founder/chair, Marion, showing us the #litter she picked up on a walk in #Stonehaven with dogs Paddy & Ted today. If only takes a minute to leave a place better & safer than you found it. Too many animals are injured by litter #dogs #dogcharity
Happy Monday! How’s yours looking? 😴 #mondayvibes #summer #doggolove #sleepydog #dogcharity #dogsofbluesky
Well done to the #TartanArmy clearing #litter in Boston & Miami. The more it becomes the norm the better. Does YOUR club encourage it? If you REALLY love your country, animals & community, you don’t drop litter & pick up some when you can❤️🐾 #WorldCup2026 Photo @dailyrecord.co.uk.web.brid.gy
#McDonalds litter in the middle of Dunnottar Woods #stonehaven - 10 minutes drive from where it was bought, at least 5 minutes walk from a carpark where it was carried past a bin & thrown into the trees! Crazy! #litter #dogsofbluesky
Happiness is finding NOTHING except one submerged @irnbru can on the beach!! How much have YOU picked up today? Ok we picked up 2 receipts & 1 pack of matches on #Stonehaven boardwalk but that was it on a morning walk! Well done Stonehaven!! ⭐ #dogsofbluesky #saveourseas

‘Selfcentered-ism’ It may not be a word but we see examples of it every day so often in beautiful places with the ‘insta photo’ taken & #litter dumped with no care for the next person or the animals, community & #environment impacted It could be YOUR #dog or cat next. Join us!
