What a wonderful day! Thank you to everyone who worked very hard to make
it such a success. A barking mad £670.30 was raised for local animals.
From the prettiest eyes to the best six legs, to children’s games and
home-made crafts, there was something for everyone to enjoy, as animal
lovers and their furry friends had fun in the sun at West Park, Goole.

vouchers, free treatments and a chance to win luxury rabbit hutches. 9
rabbits and one guinea pig were issued with neutering vouchers, 28
rabbits , 2 guinea pigs and 2 rats were health checked.

running until 2 Oct 2009 – lots of application forms were given out.
The weather was kind to us once again as you can see on the selection of

there are one or two cute dogs on these photos. The classes were as
follows:

Prettiest bitch or handsome dog
Sausage scurry- 3 heats and a final
The last class was a first for us and was received extremely well; the
dogs had a great time along with the owners, the RSPCA volunteers also
had fun with this one. You will be able to tell which class this was
from the photos. Thanks to you brave soles who entered you made the day
finish on a high.
