Christmas is on it's way - just ask a dog rescuer!

Saturday was another long day, we had already decided to go to the Bulldog of the Year show and collect 2 dogs on the way back. One of the dogs we were due to collect pulled out as thankfully they decided that they could keep him afterall, but whilst at the show a call came in from someone who needed their dog picking up as soon as possible so we decided to wait for the lunch break, as we had an item in the auction, and then head off to Staines and then round to Kent as originally planned. The morning show took longer than anticipated so by the time lunch was over and the auction was done it was gone 3pm. However, the auction items which we had donated which consisted of 5 Our Dogs and Dog World annuals dating from 1949 through to 1967 raised a fabulous £35.00 for the rescue, thank you to everyone that placed bids on those items. Some of the bulldog adverts inside are very amusing. It was very late by the time we got back here with two very bewildered bulldogs, both of which are now settled in their kennel awaiting their intake assessments. There are still a large number of bulldogs waiting for homes and with Christmas fast approaching it's only going to get worse so if you can help us in any way please do as in the words of that very well known SuperStore - every little helps ....

  2. I meant offers of homes and donations LOL. Help wise I've got all I need here and around the kennel, but of course having to work a full time job as well doesn't help ;o)
    Thanks Elizabeth.
