A Lovely Day at Pawty in the Park

Thank you Pawty in the Park!
The team had a lovely day on Saturday, meeting new people and their dogs. They also saw some familiar faces too!
The sun shone all day which made everyone come out to see us.

Tink overseeing the greyhounds!

The team raised £400.71 and our little Pudsey got herself reserved too!
Pudsey has since been adopted and is now living with one of our previously homed greyhounds Suki. Well done girl.
