The duchess was smothered with kisses from Labradors and Golden Retrievers as soon as she exited her car in a rather rainy Reading.
She smiled as she was bent down slightly to stroke one of the dogs, while speaking to those who volunteered for the charity.
Sophie looked elegant as she donned smart scarlet trousers, paired with a white floral patterned blouse.
To complete her outfit she wore a tan coloured blazer, paired with a brown bag and camel wedges.
Her golden tresses sat below her shoulder, showing off her small gold hoop earrings and she wore natural makeup - with a touch of eyeliner and highlighter.
The duke and duchess have volunteered as part of The Big Help Out - a day when people are encouraged to volunteer in their communities.
Prince Edward looked dapper as he wore a brown blazer, blue shirt and navy coloured smart trousers, with polished shoes.
