A Fantastic Day!

13th Aug 2024

We were absolutely blown away by how many of you, our amazing supporters, and your canine companions came along & enjoyed our Country Dog Show on Sunday 4th August.

The dog show classes were constantly busy, food & drinks were flowing, raffle tickets were flying out and we couldn't be more grateful to everyone who supported this 'pawsome' event. 

It brings us so much joy to share that you helped us to raise over £16,500 on the day, which is a phenomenal amount and will make a huge difference to the many vulnerable animals who need us now & in the future!

We can't thank you all enough for attending the event and for helping us to give our rescue animals the second chance at happiness they truly deserve.

We were delighted to be joined by Dorset Car Club, Dogs Trust Dog School and many fantastic local traders, including those who brought a delicious selection of tasty refreshments for you all to enjoy.

We were also pleased to host our Rescue Dog Reunion for the second time, where we got to see lots of new & familiar faces, as well as our Have-a-go-Agility, Doggy Dash, face painting & glitter tattoos, Rehome a Teddy, Tombola, Raffle and Grand Draw.

It was a pleasure to be joined by the amazing teams at Damory Vets, who were on-site to showcase their fantastic veterinary practice and to help with any dog first aid, and Hoburne Holidays, who ran an incredible Holiday Raffle, along with a Tombola & 'Spin the Wheel'!

We would like to extend our thanks to David Craig & Sarah Oldfield, who dedicated their time to hosting our PA announcements and keeping everyone updated on the times & activities across the event. They also did a fantastic job of interviewing some of our dog show winners' 'paw-rents', and enabling us to hear many heart-warming stories about their four-legged friends. 

We would also like to thank our fabulous team of volunteers, and our sponsors, local businesses, traders & staff who made the day possible - we really could not have organised this event without everyone's support. 

Make sure you check out a selection of images below, which were taken by Laura Fea & Jason Butcher, and visit our Facebook page here to see more photos from the day.
