Nicky Steven’s fundraiser for DAWGdogs

Nicky has so very kindly donated one of her audience with Nicky Steven’s shows
‘The Road to Eurovision and Beyond’
to help raise funds for DAWGdogs.

Claire at The Candle Jar is organising this so watch this space for more details!

Thank you !!

I would like to thank everyone who volunteered to sell raffle tickets at Pets at Home-
you all worked so hard and it was much appreciated.

Thanks also to all the Canine helpers who won people over and didn’t steal the cakes or treats.

Thank you also to Chris and his staff at Pets at Home who sold tickets on our behalf and joined in the spirit of the fundraising by dressing up and baking cakes.

Thank you to those that baked cakes for us and also all the people who bought tickets!!

Sat / Sun : Cakes at Pets at Home, Branksome!!

[update Sun 11th pm]

The cakes and dog delights that we have taken into Pets at Home this weekend have been a great success.
There may well at the end of the day be a few left over for tomorrow if you are lucky so do come down to Pets at Home at Branksome and buy a few raffle tickets.
I had to test them of course and can confirm they are heaven in cake form.
Lord Ash tested the dog delights and has confirmed they too are worth a second tasting if he can nick a few from the table.

Thank you to Viki, Angela, Scarlet and Stephanie for keeping us supplied with cakes
( I do hope there are a couple left over for me to finish off tomorrow. They are well worth breaking a diet for)
Thank you also to Lee , Marjorie and Webster who cooked up lots of dog Doughnuts, Muffins and Paw shaped carob treats for the dogs.

[update Sun 11th am]

Spike has been hard at work this morning and all day yesterday helping to sell raffle tickets.
Here he is taking a well earned break.
This afternoon Lord Ash known as Ash to his friends will be helping Pat and Frankie.
Lots of delicious cakes left so do come along and buy a ticket to support the Rescue.

We will have in addition to cakes;- Muffins and Doughnuts specially made for dogs for all those woofers that may want to buy three tickets and grab a treat!

–

Ask Spike nicely and he’ll let you have one for free if you buy some raffle tickets from him!

April + May: Fundraising at Pets At Home, Branksome

DAWGdogs volunteers and our dogs will be at Branksome Pets at Home for the next three weeks selling raffle tickets to raise money for the Rescue!
Please do come down to meet the dogs we have needing homes and also please do buy a ticket or two (or three!) from us.
The more raffle tickets we sell the more money will be donated to the rescue by Pets at Home!

Adverts on DAWGdogs.net

We need to raise more money for the Rescue.
There are several high vets bills to be paid ( not least that for Hope’s recent treatment ) and there have been plans for several years to improve facilities at the Rescue which we would love to impliment and which now at last are becoming a possibility.
Also Helen’s trusty old Volvo estate which has been cheerfully destroyed by many DAWGdogs in the past ( most notably Dooley who ripped out the roof, interior door panels and large sections of the wiring! ) is about to be replaced because the locks are persistently failing to work and this has gone from being an annoyance to a liability.

So, experimentation is being made with having more adverts on the website to help to try and bring in a bit of extra revenue. Likely amounts are small, but since the outlay is zero then it is worth it.

However, we don’t want to annoy YOU, the loyal visitors to this site who make it all worthwhile.
So please let us know if you feel that the balance has been compromised or if you find the adverts detract too much from the rest of the website.

If you REALLY can’t stand adverts then I’d recommend ADBLOCK PLUS https://adblockplus.org/en/firefox to blank them all out, but as it stands the Google adverts will generate us a small donation every time that they are clicked, and the other adverts will generate small donations based on a percentage of any subsequent purchases on the promoted websites, and all of these will slowly mount up over the life of the website and be useful to us and to the DAWGdogs, so please only block them as a last resort.

Please feel free to email either helen@dawgdogs.net or mark@dawgdogs.net about this at any time.

Best wishes,
Mark
