CAN YOU GIVE SPRITELY SPROCKET THE PERFECT HOME?
Staff at Dogs Trust Canterbury are hoping to find the perfect home for Sprocket a two year old Terrier Cross with quite an unusual condition. Sprocket’s small intestine doesn’t work properly which means he can’t absorb protein in the same way that other dogs can. Sadly, he spent his first few weeks at Dogs Trust at the Vets as he was really very unwell.
Thanks to the love and care of the Dogs Trust team Sprocket is very much on the mend and in search of a new family to take him on. He will be part foster dog which means that all his vet bills relating to his condition will be covered. Due to his condition he needs to have a special diet and feeding him scraps will set him back rather than serve as a tasty treat.
Sprocket is a real character and loves nothing more than a good play so ideally he will be rehomed to an active family. He is also a bit of a ladies man and would love a female doggy companion to run about with.
If you think you would like to meet Sprocket or any of the other amazing dogs at Dogs Trust Canterbury please visit them at: Radfall Road, Chestfield, Nr Whitstable, Kent, CT53ER or call on 01227 792 505
Dogs Trust is the UK’s largest dog welfare charity and cares for over 16,000 stray and abandoned dogs each year through its network of 17 Rehoming Centres nationwide.
KENT DOGS TO STAND UP AND TAKE A BOW-WOW
- Nominate your outstanding hound for Dogs Trust Honours 2010 -
Calling all dog lovers across Kent! Do you own a gutsy Greyhound, a talented Terrier or a courageous Crossbreed? Now is your chance to give your favourite furry friend the recognition he or she deserves, as the UK’s largest dog welfare charity opens nominations for the Dogs Trust Honours 2010.
Following an extraordinary public response to the 2009 Dogs Trust Honours, the charity, which has a Rehoming Centre in Chestfield, is preparing itself for an even greater flood of nominations from the people of Kent.
The Dogs Trust Honours is a canine version of the Pride of Britain Awards. Culminating in a star-studded awards ceremony in London on 3rd June 2010, they will uncover the most amazing, heart warming stories from across the UK. All the winning dogs will have their paw-traits snapped by renowned photographer Dan Burn-Forti and displayed as part of a gallery exhibition on the night.
This year, those without a dog can take part too by nominating their favourite famous dog - from stars of the small screen to pop star’s pooches - for the Celebrity Canine award. Nominations for this and the other awards can be made online at www.dogstrusthonours.co.uk until midnight, 23 April 2010.
The categories are:
· The Sun Hero Dog – the award for acts(s) of barksome bravery
· Golden Oldie – the award for any special dog over 7 years old
· Dogged Devotion – the award for dogs who provide emotional support
· Celebrity Canine – for dogs in the public eye
· Dog Star in the Making – the award for talented pet dogs
Dogs Trust Chief Executive, Clarissa Baldwin OBE, said:
“Whether you love Lurchers, or are simply dotty about Dalmatians, the one thing upon which all dog owners agree is that their dog is the greatest! Our awards celebrate the very special things which dogs give us, and I don’t just mean the chewed slippers. Let’s rejoice in all things canine and give these hirsute heroes the recognition they deserve.”
To nominate your dog go online at www.dogstrusthonours.co.uk or send your dog’s details, story and high res photo to awards@dogstrust.org.uk . You may also nominate via letter to Dogs Trust Honours, 17 Wakley Street, London EC1V 7RQ.
