Gizmo and Sprocket Memorial Appeal
POORLY DOGS APPEAL IN MEMORY OF GIZMO & SPROCKET
AND OTHER VERY SPECIAL ANGEL FRIENDS
As you know, times are very hard for IRR at the moment with so many dogs recently coming into rescue and with many of them needing expensive veterinary treatments.
We asked the angels for help and they suggested a Memorial Appeal because they knew our wonderful friends would come up trumps for us once again.
To lighten the load for the IRR girls, Pauline has been organising an on-going appeal in memory of her beloved Gizzie and Sprocket and other dog angels who have also loved the freedom of their field just outside Bath.
Although initiated back in September 2018, the appeal is still ongoing and is a great way of helping the old and poorly, so often forgotten, IRR rescues whilst remembering our own dearly departed dog angels.
It will be much appreciated if cheques should be are made payable to:
IRISH RETRIEVER RESCUE
then, to avoid overloading the IRR Team, please send the cheques to:-
Pauline Jefferey, 27 Bath New Road, Radstock, N E Somerset. BA3 3ED
For the other methods of payment, could you please contact Jackie Juffkins (IRR Hon Treasurer) on
THANK YOU ALL EVER SO MUCH FROM ALL THE NEEDY DOGS
GIZMO’S COMPLETE BOOK OF PAWITRY THANK YOU
As a thank you from Gizmo, we will send you by email his compilation of old and new pawems for you to download and treasure forever.
Also, we plan to add the names of your dog angels and a dedication to our memorial list.
Our Super Gizzie would want his legacy to be helping as many needy dogs as possible so we would be more than happy for you to gift his pawitry to other doggy friends.
If they happen to be associated with other doggy charities then we would be more than happy for them to use his life’s work to raise much needed funds for his cousins anywhere in the world who, as he was as a rubbish heap pup, are down on their luck.
For those few lucky dogs who made it to our Memorial Meet on Sunday 28th October 2018, we are so grateful to them for raising £140 which will be £175 with Gift Aid.
It is a great start but Gizzie & Sprocket would love it to be loads more so that loads of poorly IRR dogs can be helped as much as possible.
We want all of their needy cousins to get the help they are desperate for too so please tell all your friends and be sure to keep your paws tightly crossed.

THANK YOU SO MUCH TO YOU ALL FOR YOUR GENEROSITY
We are still not done yet as the pawems are still available as thanks for a small donation.
The Dog Angel Memorial List is still a work in progress by Mossie and Rhani. They too want all of their needy cousins to get the help they so desperately need whilst remembering their dearly departed but still much-loved siblings, Gizzie and Sprocket.
