Well that's our 4th year completed!! This years shelter was my absolute favorite and I'm so happy to announce that it was Just For Dogs !!
The staff are so friendly and appreciative, they were really interested in how we have been raising money and our previous shelter runs. I was given a tour around the kennels, got to see the rescue animals in their care and it was so nice to see such a clean and well kept kennel. I was also able to learn about how they get their enrichment, more about their individual time at the kennel, length of stay and overall come away with more knowledge than what i previously had🥰
This year was an extra special year. We understand running cost for rescues can be really expensive and we were able to donate £200!! Along with all the donations you lovely people gave us and those we had brought before hand🥳
They have a shop onsite too, its such a little treasure trove and I highly recommend taking a look round!! the prices are really good too and the money goes directly back into the animals. We also took some donations for them to sell here too!🧸
Want to meet some of the dogs after their forever home?? Meet Blaze & Zoe!! They’re quite a shy pair who are nervous and mistrusting of humans but are absolutely gorgeous and they just need the right people to come along who can give them the time and care they deserve🏡
We have also taken donations during earlier parts of the year too PDSA Hospital & PDSA Charity shop this consisted of a haul of blankets, sheets, towels, bedding, cat toys, bowls, beds, carriers and other accessories during their in house appeals. As well as 10 black bags and 5 large boxes full of donations for them to sell🐾
A special mention goes to those of you who gave us some donations & brought treat bags to take with us during the shelter run, these really helped to bulk out those physical donations!! Margaret brought 6 of our treats bags, one for every long stay resident at the rescue, as well as boxes for her own furbabies, your ongoing support means so much to us. Thank you to Susan who brought one of our treat bags too, along with a box for her furbaby. Penelope & Carla, thank you so much for your blankets, towels and bedding, they're so thick and cosy. Kaat thank you for your bundle, those jackets are gorgeous!🫶
A further special mention to the amazing ladies Tina and Kathy who provide alot of the donations we are able to sell and raise money from, they helped make this year possible and extra special!🥹
One Last special mention to Helen, Thank you for all the driving around you do. Whether that be collecting donations, delivering during our Christmas sales or helping get us to the shelter to drop off all the goodies. You've been a huge help :)
Roxie's Rescue Nottingham Registered Charity 1190487 will be receiving our cat donation this year!! we have some scrummy treats coming their away along with some food and toys. They have a collection box in one of our stores that we are going to place this in😺
This time 4 months ago I thought this would be our last one, the big lets make it our best and its been a good run (mainly due to life circumstances changing with work and moving house). But, I don't think I'm ready to let go just yet... Just for dogs really put into perspective what we’ve been doing this for, as well as the people who have continued to come back to us year in and year out. You’ve all had such nice things to say and have been so generous when helping with donations. What's one more year??? Christmas Shelter Run 2024!! This year we will be posting a lot more, keeping updates with the donations for sale and maybe some new things ?? Stick around!!🎊
