Volunteers
Could you spare a few hours to help at the kennels? Helping walk the dogs is a great way to get some excersize and really make a difference to the dogs time in the kennels.
It helps socalise the dogs, gives them some excersize and burns off pent up energy. Keeps the dogs healthy and really helps the over run kennel staff.
You are also welcome to help clean out the kennels and bath the dogs, any hands on help would be much appreciated.
Fund raising
Fancy doing some fund raising for the kennels?
If you have a few hours spare how about lending a hand to do tombollas, street collections, car boots etc to help raise funds. Please give us a ring to be put in touch with our helpers who fundraise for us.
Could you organise a carboot and send us the proceeds? Great way to make new freinds and you would be helping a worth while cause at the same time.
We need:-
Dog Food, dried is better- can you organise a food collection with family and friends. Buying an extra tin or pack of food with your weekley shop?

Items needed
Builders/ workmen
We are in the process of building more kennels. The more kennels we have, the more dogs we can help.
Have you any building skills, or plumbing, decorating etc you would be willing to give you time and skill to help build some extra kennels and help maintain exsisiting ones?
Are you in a position to help with building materials? Bricks, fencing, cement etc.
ALONE AGAIN
I wish someone would tell me
What it is that I've done wrong.
Why do I have to stay chained up
And left alone so long?
They seemed so glad to have me
When I came here as pup;
There were so many things we'd do
While I was growing up.
They couldn't wait to train me
As a companion and a friend,
And told me how they'd never fear
Being left alone again.
The children said they'd walk me
And brush me every day;
They'd play with me and feed me,
If only I could stay.
But now the family hasn't time,
They say I often shed;
They do not want me in the house,
Not even to be fed.
The children never walk me -
They always say, "Not now".
I wish that I could please them,
Won't someone tell me how?
All I had to give was love,
I wish they would explain
Why they said they wanted me,
Then left me on a chain.
