Well the ususal British Summer did us proud for the Newton Abbot Carnival on Saturday 11th July! Considering the awful weather we were pleasantly surprised by the number of people that came to our stall and we raised a respectable amount of money.
One of our youngest volunteers Phoebe, did a sterling job, going around the crowd, giving out information leaflets and stickers and we’d like to say a Big Thank You to her for that. Lots of people commented that they’d seen our new shop in Newton Abbot, so if you haven’t visited it yet, make it a priority.
We recently had a wonderful donation of brand new clothing from a local company, some of which were designer labels so get along there before they’re all gone! Thank you to everyone who took part.
Here we all are, sheltering from the rain!
Here are some of the walkers and their dogs with their certificates outside the Clinic after the walk was completed.
We had great weather for the occasion, nice and warm but without blazing sun. Everyone had a welcome drink and a biscuit when they got back including some of the dogs!
We’d like to say a HUGE THANK YOU to all who took part, including the volunteers that helped with marshalling and tea making.
We raised an AMAZING total of just over £444, so well done to everyone.
We’d like to say a Big Thank you to all who attended the show.
A brilliant total of £107 was raised and we are very grateful to all who donated.
We will shortly be opening a new shop in Newton Abbot and are looking for volunteers to help run it. If you love animals, are enthusiastic and hard working we would love to hear from you.
