Busy Day At Hedge End!

Thank You Hedge End retailer park – Marks & Spencer’s and Sainsbury’s!

We had a wonderful day on Saturday meeting your staff and the public, everyone was so nice to us.

During the day we spoke to so many people about adoptions, the staff gave our greyhounds lots of sausages, to keep their strength up, for all the hard work they were doing!

The local police came to say ‘hello’ and had to have a greyhound cuddle!

Our youngest kennel dog – Boo (18 months) got himself reserved, lots of interest in our other greyhounds too and we raised a huge £700.32!

Thank you so much Hedge End, we had a fabulous day and we are all looking forward to coming back in a few months time.

Over the weekend Mufasa went home with his new family and Violet got herself reserved!

A busy weekend but with lots of joyful moments!
