The sponsored walk around Dimmingsdale on Sunday was blessed by lovely weather- which was a great relief to walkers and dogs alike! It was wonderfully supported and the Society is delighted to say in excess of £1,000 has been raised to help the waifs and strays in their care. Additional sponsorship money is still due to come in too.
A big thank you goes out to everyone who came and took part in the walk and to everyone who also gained sponsorship for their own dogs. Fantastic amounts were raised by each. Also many thanks to everyone who sponsored the nine dogs who were walking who are currently in the care of the Society and looking for homes.
All nine were brilliantly behaved and couldn’t have advertised themselves any better- they were absolute stars. Hopefully word gets round how lovely they are and that they get fantastic new homes quickly as a result!’ They are Zeus, Ebony, Axel, Cass, Anya, Roger, Fudge, Melody and Tommy.
Rusty the little Yorkshire Terrier raised a massive £200 towards this total which was brilliant.
Photos will appear on the individual dog rehoming pages but just a few here show how everyone enjoyed the day.
