Farnham Street Collection
On Saturday 11th May the team were out in Farnham town raising awareness of greyhounds as pets as well as collecting for Greyhound Lifeline.
The day was a huge success, we met lots of lovely new people and some old friends too – human and doggies! It did rain a little but that didn’t stop the shoppers or our volunteers!
The team yet again raised a significant sum – £662.42, 100% of this money will be used to look after for the greyhounds in our care. Well done team and of course well done too – Annie, Blake, Razzle, Sparrow, Izzy, Reggie, Ice, Hammy, Ferret, Arty, Joe and Hope for being excellent greyhounds on the collection.
Kennel Opening Hours:
Please note all volunteers (kennel hands included), visitors and customers must pre-book visits to our site which will involve bringing a non-resident dog on site.
We are asking for at least 24 hours’ notice of your dog’s arrival, details of the day/time you wish to bring your dog(s) and how many dogs you propose to bring. We will endeavour to give you a suitable appointment time, but please appreciate that we can only be as flexible as our lease permits and you may be offered an alternative time/day instead.
You can pre-book your dog’s visit by:
Email to [email protected], by text or phone to 07828 138378 (Marie) or 07769 348310 (Lucy).
The above pre-booking applies to visiting dogs only.
Volunteers and customers without dogs joining them are welcome during opening hours as per normal. Viewings remain by appointment only as previously.
