Hello, what is the Book Stall about, please? Is it second hand book sale? I am asking because I have some paperbacks here that I was about to drop off at a local charity shop - shall I bring them along?

Kerstin, if you want to keep them for the stall that would be great, your right it is a second hand bookstall.  :)

Is it ok to bring our dog along? He's not neutered yet.
Also, do you know which foster dogs will be attending?
Thanks

All Dogs are Welcome, We're not sure which foster dogs will be coming as yet but we'll try and get as many there as we can, If there is one you would like to see maybe let us know and we can ask the foster carer.

Hi, I answered the call for volunteers via email a while back, but realise now that I haven't really followed up. Me, my wife, 9-year-old daughter and Teddy (was Albus) will be there and are available to help wherever we can. Teddy may not be much help to be fair! Please PM me with details of help required / time to be there etc.

Cheers, Tavis

 :) Lovely to meet you too ......... you've got a gorjuss one to start with ;) :-*.
I really enjoyed catching up with everyone (2&4 legged) today & meeting the "new faces", it seemed to go very well, all the doglets were soooo well behaved & I could have smuggled a few out ;), let's hope the lovely people who came to see us spent loadsa money & went home with a lot to think about rescue work ;)xxxxxxxxxxx

Me & Dolly had a lovely afternoon & I'm very proud of how well our girl coped with everything! Was great to meet some new people & put faces to names! Rena, your new foster looks such a cutie!

The highlight of my day (apart from seeing Dolly so confident of course) was getting to see our foster boy Buster with his fab new family! He is clearly adored & very, very happy. Couldn't ask for more :)

Hope lots of money was raised & maybe some of our lovely doggies will find their new homes!

Our foster carers and Trustees.
And never forgetting all our fab supporters who spent their pennies  :D
