| WE NEED YOUR HELP We desperately need volunteers to help with fundraising. “Friends of Holly Hedge” have been actively fundraising for approximately 3 years and to date have raised almost £150,000 towards the new kennel block project. We have numerous events organised throughout the year but are looking for people who can spare a few hours to help. We meet approximately every 8-10 weeks (always on a Sunday evening) at The Anchor in Pill. The pub does great food if you fancy a meal before the meeting. We are a friendly group of people who all want to support Holly Hedge, so if you can spare a few hours, please give Gerry Watkins a ring on 0117 9695332 to obtain further information. |

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. |
| If you would like to support the Sanctuary, there are many ways you can now do this. You can send a cheque or purchase any of the following items: New stock in! Wristbands - 50p each Keyring - 50p each (with your own Holly Hedge pet's picture if preferred) Or you can order a T Shirt or Sweatshirt T-Shirt - £8.00 Sweatshirt - £14.99 (range of colours) |
| TOMBOLA APPEAL Do you have any unwanted presents or new items that you could donate to our Charity? Quality gifts like toileteries, drinks, toys, dvds etc are urgently required for our fundraising tombola stall. By donating things which may just be taking up space in your home, you could make a real difference to the well-being of the animals at our sanctuary. Please ring the sanctuary on the usual number. |
