HOW TO PRE-ENTER YOUR DOG/S

To pre-enter your dog, you need to download, complete and return the Fun Dog Show Pre-Entry Form 2018 (it's a Word document so use a PC/Laptop if you can).

Simply click the yellow button.  Click 'Save as' adding your name to the File Name (so we can easily identify you and your dog/s), then complete all of the details, save the document again and email it back to us on info@takeawaythetears.co.uk or post with your payment.

A fab new addition that will take away the tears.

Treat your dog to a Jumper Bed to help them feel safe when they can't be near you.

Each one has been lovingly upcycled from old jumpers by Take Away The Tears volunteers.

Have you thought about bringing us one of your own jumpers? We can make a Jumper Bed that smells of you. They'll love it!

Pop over to the Take Away The Tears Shop to place your order.

We did it 😁  We've packed four pallets full of dog beds, cages, food, treats and so much more; all ready to be shipped to Cyprus to help support 5 separate dog rescue pounds.

Thank you to each and every person and organisation that donated goods. There are far too many to name – but you know who you are.

Thank you to everyone who made a last minute donation and allowed us to send the 4th pallet. Your generosity means we have started our fund for the next shipment of items to support dog rescue heroes later in the year.

Huge thanks again to Jules and Max of Clutter Mouse who stepped in and helped with the transport which was so desperately needed.

And thank you to Paul and Bob from ProFleece, who once again allowed us to use their premises to pack the pallets, donating the tape and wrap and fleece pieces.

And finally, thank you to John for his support and for putting up with Sue over the last few weeks!

Fun Dog Show raises £1000 for Rescue Dogs

A massive THANK YOU to everyone who attended our Fun Dog Show on Sunday 24th September 2017.

We had 144 dogs on the day – just brilliant – and we raised nearly £1000 on the day. Watch out for the official photographs coming soon.

Fun Dog Show – Fun Facts

We love looking through the fun dog show registration papers after the event and hope you enjoy these fun facts:

🐶 Total number of dogs registered = 144
🐶 There were 37 rescue dogs
🐶 There were 38 dogs aged under 1 year; the youngest was a Cockerpoo called Ruby
🐶 There were 5 dogs aged over 10; the oldest was a lovely little Jack Russell called Poppy
🐶 Poppy was also the most popular name. There were 4 of them
🐶 The top three breeds were
12 – Chihuahua
8 – Labrador
7 – Springer Spaniel
🐶 We had 25 cross breeds where no specific name was given and an additional 18 named crosses
🐶 The most unusual name was Dubhlainn (pronounced Dove-Lin). It is an Irish word meaning Black Sword and belonged to a beautiful Labrador
🐶 We had 2 of the most unusual breed – a Finnish Lapphund. These are traditionally used to herd reindeer and they were beautifully represented by 8 month old Aspen and 3 year old Keela

One young lady went away very happy with one more dog than she arrived with ❤️ ❤️ The best behaved dog of the day – his name was correctly guessed as Rocky by young dog lover Amber.
