Website online shop have a look
We have decided to make better use of our online shop. We will be posting things all the time.
There will still be all our usual stock items but we are also adding items that we get donated. We get some really lovely and varied items and we will be updating the shop on a regular basis.
When I say we, I mean Emma our Pickering shop manager. She is brilliant and does this voluntary, in her own time.
We aren’t in a good place financially but I will post more about that after the shows and Zip Wire challenge.
Happy shopping….Deb
Hello Khiara
We had a phone call to say a local trainer had lost his licence, he had been filling out retirement forms saying the dogs had been rehomed. They hadn’t. They are no longer alive.
There were another 18 dogs in the kennel. This is Hello Khiara she has faithfully served her trainer. At 5 year’s old she has had 156 races at Doncaster. Yes !!!! 156 so in around 3 of her racing years, she must have raced every week sometimes twice a week to make up for injury time. She has a gracias muscle injury (it will heal well without treatment now she’s not racing) and a tear on her shoulder (trainer said she’d done it the night before we collected her, Chris from Donaldson’s disagrees more 4/5 days and was left untreated.
I seriously hope the other dogs have been taken off him. How many dogs have you had killed? Lee McManus….
Penny
Penny (Pennys Draiochts)
Update….she hasn’t been spayed the lying tw—.
Her racing name was Penny’s Draiochts
Born 12th September 2018.
She raced at Doncaster up until July last year, clocked up 71 races. She has been spayed and she was rehomed in February this year….shame it wasn’t a better home.
Shame they left her in the stray kennel for a week.
Thanks to Cliffe kennels again for letting us know about this little beauty and thanks to foster parents for stepping in and getting her out of the pound.
We’re calling her Penelope for now.
Penny is currently in South Yorkshire on foster waiting for her retirement home, transport and meetings can be arranged. She raced over 70 times out of Doncaster, and this gentle sweet girl is now ready to be homed.
She is a clean, sociable and happy girl. Mixes well with sight hounds and other breeds. She travels well, very calm on the lead. Whilst in her foster home she has been a joy to have around, she has an appetite as big as her heart and has easily settled into home life.
Pets at Home Lifeline Vouchers
As many of you are aware, some bright spark ( very expensive marketing company no doubt ) has changed the way that people can choose the “Charity of their choice” to receive the lifeline vouchers. Which I have to say, are worth having. We have just saved £150 on a £240 shop.
To cut a long story short, bright spark has decided that the Charity has to be within a 20 mile radius restriction of the store….and so do you!! So no longer can you chose your preferred Charity…you just have to chose a local one.
This will impact us greatly for any new people wanting to support us, but I have been assured that if we are your chosen Charity that will still be the case.
A lot of Charities are not happy and rightly so. I have just spoken to Adam who is the Charity Co-Ordinator at Pets at Home. He says the radius restriction will be removed but he doesn’t know when. He has asked that we email in so he can put pressure on bright spark to sort it out asap…
