The sun is shining and before the big game tonight why not pop along to Chalkwell park for some fun with your pooch!

The starts tonight, this means there is only 1 month left before our show!

Although the Final is 14th July at 8pm, our show is from 10am until 4pm, so all you footy fans won't miss the game and can spend the rest of the day enjoying a day out at Chalkwell Park with over 20 stalls to browse, including numerous food stalls and an ice cream van (sorry, no alcohol is allowed on site)

If you want a quiet evening, make sure you tire your dog out by letting them have a go on the activity stalls and why not enter them into the fun dog classes for a chance to be Best In Show.

We can't wait to see you there!!

How has this gorgeous boy still not found his forever home 😩. Milo is a 6 month old Jack Russell cross. He was born at the kennels when his Mum arrived as a stray. He was rehomed but sadly returned due to his owners ill health, and despite a fair few enquiries Milo is still having to live his best puppy days in a kennel. He is a cracking little lad, with lots of energy. He is good with other dogs and could live with children aged 10 upwards. He will need a home willing to continue his training and meet his exercise needs. Please contact the office for further information on 01268 770402🐾

We would like to say thank you to these two lovely gentlemen Terry and Neil for helping to support one of wonderful volunteers Roz with her fundraising efforts for the rescue.

If your spring cleaning and have any bits that Roz might be able to sell on her stall let us know!!

Danielle had some amazing playtime with some of our longer serving residents today. We love to see them run and play and long for the day they can do it with a family of their own. Larger dogs always seem to be over looked in rescues but have as much love to give as their small fluffy counterparts!
