The annual Yappy Ever After Dog Rescue charity fundraiser fun dog show took place on Saturday 17th August at the Shipley Woodside Community Garden and raised a whopping £4,300 to help with their on-going quest to foster dogs and find their forever homes.
The dog show was a huge hit and a lot of fun with classes including grumpiest face, waggiest tail and dog/owner lookalikes! The overall winner was Oaksey the dachshund who celebrated with a sausage roll from the refreshment stall!! (First picture)
Everyone had a great time and it was so lovely to see all the adopted and fostered dogs enjoying a day out together. A great chance for future adopters to meet the current foster dogs and we’re hopeful that more homes have now been found.
Yappy Ever After Dog Rescue (registered charity number 1163969) was founded in 2015 by Louise Radford after she saved two dogs who were being passed from home to home. There is no rescue centre kennel as all surrendered dogs go straight into foster care for assessment to understand their needs before they go up for adoption. Homechecks and meet ups are then planned before adoption to make sure the lifestyle is right for the dog and future owner and to save any further upset in the dog’s life.
