All the dogs names have gone into a draw for a chance to win their own pastel portrait, and the lucky one picked is “SAMMY” Denning, the Shiba Inu, from Tunley Dog Training Club. Well Done Sam.
(This was donated by Lynne Jones, in memory of the many dogs who have walked with us a while……….and brought us to where we all are now).

A special thank you also goes out to Sheena Brown, Ronnie Berganthal and Sue Frankcom who very kindly gave donations to IRR at the time of our Reunion AND especially to “Shawnee” Upton, who raided her doggie money box for us.
THANK YOU EVERYBODY

Burns Pet Nutrition, a thank you

We wish to thank you John Burns and Burns Pet Nutrition for your kind sponsorship of our 2006 Reunion. Our day was a great success. We managed to raise over £500 and still have to collect money for a sponsored down-stay. This money will go a long way towards our hefty veterinary bills as we’ve had quite a few poorly rescues recently who have needed/will need ongoing medical attention. Once again, a big thank you from all the dogs you’ve helped through your kind sponsorship.

Regards
Sandie
