Who needs to go to the Ritz?
Our Afternoon Tea Event – all set up and ready to go!
We are very pleased to report our first Afternoon Tea event was extremely well received by our guests. 76 people attended and between them £1,013.50 profit was raised to directly benefit the greyhounds in our care.

We are very proud of our network of volunteers who helped to make this event so successful.

Thank you to all the organisers, shoppers, donators (of food/gifts and money), cake makers, stall holders, kitchen volunteers, waitresses, waiters, door and carpark attendants and volunteers who helped to set up and take down all the hall decorations/tables. Many of the volunteers on the day had multiple roles, some worked a 12 hour day. They all worked tirelessly, but managed to keep a smile on their faces throughout the exhausting but totally rewarding day!
During the event.
We would also like to thank all of the attendees who donated so generously during the event.
Well done everyone!
Summer Time:
As the days start to warm up, we would like to remind you of some top tips to ensure your dogs stay cool and happy.
Walk your dog early morning or late at night when the temperature is cooler, try walking them in shady places and avoid tarmac
“I love footballs but I am only allowed to play with them when it is cool” Marshall explains!
2. Ensure your dog has access to cool areas inside
3. Avoid car journeys and use air-conditioning if necessary
4. Ensure your dog has access to clean fresh water, dogs may drink more in hotter weather so ensure their bowls are checked regularly
5. NEVER leave your dog in a parked car during hot weather – dogs can overheat in a matter of minutes causing multi-organ failure and death
6. Use cooling pads, fans or cooling coats to cool your dog down
7. If concerned about your dogs excessive panting or unusual symptoms in this warm weather, contact your veterinary surgery for advice immediately.
