A Thank You from The Little Dog Rescue - 24th June 2010

We would like to thank all of our supporters for everything that you do to help the dogs that we have already helped or are currently helping this year.

It has been a very busy year already and to date we have seen 168 dogs come in. Not only is this an increase on previous months, but the condition of the dogs has been a lot worse than we have previously seen. Our vet bills for the last quarter (Feb-May) were £22,825 (about the same as the whole of last year) whilst adoption fees for the same period were £9,155.

As you can see from these figures there is a massive difference between costs and 'income', hence our thank you. The rest of the monies have come from all the fundraising activities that you have all taken part in, the raffles, auctions, dog shows, shop sales etc.

We have lots more events planned for the coming months, but if you have any good ideas or fancy doing a car boot sale let us know, as every little helps.

Without you help a lot of little dogs would be in a pitiful state, so on their behalf a massive thank you.

Companion Care Fun Day at Ventura Retail Park, Tamworth, Staffs - 10th July 2010

The Little Dog Rescue were very kindly invited to hold a promotional stall at their recent event within Pets at Home, Ventura Park,Tamworth.

The stall was organised and manned by one of our most supportive transporters and foster Mum to Snowy, whose story you can read here. She was joined by other fosterers with some of their dogs, and they had a lovely day meeting members of the public and explaining about the rescue and what we do. Snowy was a wonderful Ambassador for The Little Dog Rescue, and gained much attention, greeting adults and children with his little kisses and waggy tail.

The day was immensely successful, raising £83.04 in our collecting tins, but more importantly and rather wonderfully it led to one of our foster dogs finding her forever home, with enquiries being made for others. We also welcomed a couple of new volunteers to our team, including a new fosterer.

We were made to feel very welcome by the Companion Care team and the Pets at Home staff, and we would like to thank them all for their support.
