LUSH Charity Pot for DAWGdogs this weekend!!

LUSH will be hosting a Charity Pot Party this weekend with DAWGdogs.

All proceeds from any sale of Charity Pot* (minus VAT) will provide funding towards the running costs for such a fantastic organisation working tirelessly to find new homes for rescue dogs.

Money raised will be contributing towards the construction of some brand new living quarters for dogs awaiting to be homed.

There will be face painting on hand, doggy treats as well as information galore for anyone considering re-homing.

Hope to see you there, Jaime & Hazel x

*Please note that money raised through Charity Pot for DAWG dogs is only for these two days (22nd & 23rd November).

Warning

One of our members has spotted cooked chicken carcasses in undergrowth in Highland Water Enclosure near Minstead.
Please be aware that cooked bones can splinter in the dog’s mouth, throat, and digestive linings causing serious injury and even death.
Also, please be extra vigilant in checking your dogs over for sores now, cases of CRGV (Alabama Rot) have started in October for the last two years.

Please bring your DAWGdogs !!

 

As many of you know, Eileen in Ireland has worked endlessly saving the lives of many dogs who otherwise would have been put to sleep.

Eileen has come over this weekend from Ireland especially for the DAWG Dog Annual Dog Show and would absolutely love to see as many of the Irish dogs as possible.

If you own one of these Irish dogs, it would be very much appreciated if you could bring them along to the show on Sunday for Eileen to meet.  This would mean a great deal to her.

Thank you so much

Helen

Please take a moment to help the Oldies Club

The Oldies Club have often helped out DAWGdogs by featuring some of our older dogs needing homes on their website.
It would be nice to return the favour by getting as many people as possible to vote for them please;-

We are taking part in the Big Break for Charity and need lots more votes to hopefully push us into second or possibly even first place in the contest, and help us win up to £2,000 for the dogs in the care of the Oldies Club rescue. I hope that you will have a spare minute to vote for us here:

https://www.directdebit.co.uk/DirectDebitPromotions/BigBreak2014/Pages/CauseDetail.aspx?CauseId=616

You can also vote by texting BIG BREAK 0616 to 78866

If you could spread the word amongst your friends and colleagues too, that would be wonderful and very much appreciated.
Thank you!

Kind regards

[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.
