'Pawsome' Events!
12th Jun 2024We would like to say a huge 'thank you' to everyone who attended our GroundDog Day in Dorset on Sunday 2nd June, and our Novelty Dog Show in Devon on Sunday 9th June!
We absolutely loved welcoming you & your four-legged friends to our centres for these fabulous days, where we got to celebrate the magic of rescue & rehoming and raise vital funds for the animals in our care.
We are thrilled to share that across both events, you helped us to raise over £6,400, which is an incredible amount and will make such a 'pawsitive' difference to the many vulnerable animals who need us!
In the beautiful sunshine, our supporters & their gorgeous pooches entered many exciting dog show classes at GroundDog Day, and took part in the Have-a-go-Agility & Doggy Dash courses.
We also had a wonderful selection of local traders there throughout the day, as well as tasty refreshments from Purbeck Ice Cream & Fanny Annie's.
We would like to extend our thanks to all our amazing volunteers, staff & traders for helping on the day, and to Laura Fea, Jason Butcher & Steve Cole for taking many fabulous photos during the event.
Make sure you check out a selection of photos below, and visit our Facebook page to see even more from this memorable day.
If you would like to get your hands on the original versions of the lovely photos that were captured of you and your pooch pal, please email comms@mgar.org.uk where we will be pleased to chat to you about how to make a donation towards this.
For our Novelty Dog Show, we were overjoyed to see so many new and familiar faces at the event.
With lots of fabulous prizes up for grabs in the Raffle, tasty cream teas & refreshments and new & pre-loved doggy items for sale, we hope everyone enjoyed the day as much as we did!
A big 'thank you' goes out to all of our incredible volunteers, sponsors, staff and Megan Carine Photography & Red Squirrel Tree Care for capturing the day with their fantastic photography.
We'd love for you to browse through some of the photos below, and check us out on Facebook to discover more.
We look forward to seeing you all at our upcoming events in Dorset & Devon very soon!
