Its That Time Of Year Again
CHRISTMAS !!
Every Dog & Cat deserves a present at Christmas , sadly the ones in rescue kennels wont have a christmas in front of the fire with turkey & trimmings , they are sat in their kennels hoping that this time next year i will be that lucky dog with a new family and a stocking full of presents , but we try in a small way to make sure they all get something on Xmas morning to play with and some special treats which is why we ask for the following.
Each year we put out an appeal for our Shoe Box Gifts for the dog & cats and the response is always tremendous.
all you need to do is get an empty Shoe box and fill it with the following.
Tin of Food Toy Ball Treats Dog/Cat collar Lead a christmas card
Wrap it up in christmas paper and a tag with "for a dog " or "for a cat" and put who it is from.
Then you can either drop it off at the Kennels , leave it with Rank on the friday market stall or if you are in Retford i can arrange to collect it (Annalise & Mark has my number)
On Christmas day they are shared out between the dogs & cats by the Staff and that extra bit of fuss goes a long way with the dogs.
Again a big thankyou to everyone that donates a box/boxes each year they are very much appreciated.

I know the weather has been extremely shitty and awful and that no one can get out, but...............I am appealing for people to ask others to donate towards the shoe box appeal. So far there are only 4 presents for the dogs. Last year was fantastic! There were soo many presents that it took 6 of us over an hour to open all the presents. So come on people spread the word. Let's give these dogs and cats a happy christmas even if it is a lousy cold one! Many Thanks X
