News & Appeals
| Hi Friends of Holly Hedge Just wanted to say a huge thanks you to everyone who participated in making the Fun Day at Ashton Court such a great success. In spite of the licence for the event costing over twice as much as previous years, and having to pay for first aid cover as St Johns Ambulance had to pull out at the last minute, we did brilliantly. Sue from Andersons Waste came up trumps after learning we needed an extra van, and paid for us to hire one - we are truly grateful for her kindness. Also Andy Davies from Ceva Logistics came to our rescue when we were struggling to borrow a lorry suitable for holding our auction. Two of his men turned up at 6am on the day, and collected the lorry at 5pm. Their help was free of charge and very much appreciated. We had some terrific items to auction, and we are extremely grateful to the kind-hearted people who donated them to our cause. Jodie and Steve did an excellent job of organising the event (as they always do), and everyone involved pulled together to raise money for Holly Hedge. £8,000 surpassed our expectations, especially as we decided not to hold the sponsored dog walk this year. Congratulations and thank you all once again for your hard work and dedication on behalf of our rescued animals - you did us proud. Best wishes Pauline Leeson Founder |

IN PRAISE OF GREYHOUNDS If you have always wanted a dog but are worried that you may not have the time or energy for one consider a greyhound! Often overlooked because of their long legs and thin bodies greyhounds are very easy to own—they are the closest thing in the doggy world to a “couch potato”. It is a myth that greyhounds need loads of exercise—a good run twice a day is quite sufficient. In between they are content to laze around and enjoy comfortable surroundings. For many of them their early lives have been miserable, neglected and shut away in the confines of a dark, dismal kennel with little or no bedding, discarded when they are no longer of use. We have several greyhounds or greyhound X’s longing to be chosen and they are all truly deserving cases. They are all sweet natured and loving and make gentle and loyal pets. They reward their owners with love, loyalty and affection, not to mention company whilst watching your favourite TV programmes. |
