Dogmobile Update - July 2013

Some of you may be familiar with our Dogmobile, two mobile units that travel the country, visiting county shows, town centres and supermarkets, showing people what great dogs rescue dogs are. The bright yellow Dogmobiles contain two comfy kennels for the dogs to lounge in for the day, (whilst looking for that perfect home), plus all sorts of other ‘doggy’ information leaflets and ‘goodies’ are on board.  Cathy, Dogmobile 1 Manager, is always here to keep you in the loop about all that is happening in the mobile unit world... :)

Hi, Cathy here!


I’ve just touched base to drop you a line about the Kent County Show we’ve just been to with the Dogmobile.

We had a great time, with two out of the three days being the hottest days of the year so far! (A far cry from the washout last years show was).
 
Everybody was walking around smiling eating ice-creams or strawberries and cream, not having to carry brollies and raincoats for a change! It was so nice.

Dogs Trust Chairman Mr Philip Daubeny and Mr Tim Pearey another of our Trustees were enjoying the show with friends on the Sunday and they popped over to say hello.


Philip, John, Tim, Olivia, Stanley, Otis & Hebe!


Dogs Trust had a Free ‘Doggie Crèche’ at the showground this year. It was the first time we had done it, and it was a roaring success. We had plenty of hot, tired dogs getting a couple of hours well-earned rest and a cooling paddle in the paddling pools. They LOVED it!

Talking of the sun, it’s actually been around for a few of our events recently - Stirling Town Centre in Scotland, Cheshire Show, and the Norfolk Show where I met Jake Humphrey and couldn’t resist getting a photo with him!

Amway, I’ll let the pictures do the talking. Here’s hoping the warm weather stays around for a few more months………. maybe till November??
