August Updates

What a year so far!  We have been very lucky again this year with our homings and support from all our followers.  Without the help from all of our volunteers, supporters and the public we wouldn’t be able to continue the work that we do.  Thank you to everyone who gives up their time to help our greyhounds and all of those who donate to the work that we do.

This month we have already had two events, Lymington was our first one.

The team spent all of Saturday 2nd of August in Lymington High Street collecting, sharing their knowledge of greyhounds with the public and the greyhounds giving away lots of free cuddles!  It was a great day and everyone was very tired by the end of the day!  The team raised £626.98, this was fantastic and it was our first time collecting in this town.  Thank you to everyone who came along to support us.

On the 9th of August we headed over to Hedge End for another collection.  It was again another busy day, lots of interest in adoption and we also had lots of monetary donations as well as dog food and treats.

It was an amazing day and the team raised a huge £944.66.  Thank you for your support and Stewart at Hedge End for making this collection possible.

Appeal:

We are getting low in stock in our tinned dog wet food and sardines.  If anyone is able to purchase some we would be very grateful.  Our greyhounds like all tinned meat and love their fish but would prefer if they don’t have them in brine!
Rocco and friends will be very happy and there are plenty of cuddles available in return!
