Whitehouse Kennels and Cattery, Lympsham Somerset.

SOS Sponsored Walk 13 February 2010

Despite the bitter weather Saturday the walk was a success beyond what we could have ever imagined. With a truly biting wind over 95 dogs turned up and we had a fabulous time. Last year we raised £1200 and we were really hoping to try and match that but not only did we matched it but doubled it!!!!!!! We would really like to say we are extremely grateful to all those people that took part and the fantastic generosity of all those involved. The Monday after our walk a little blind and deaf Jack Russell had done his days and as he is unclaimed he is up for adoption we have named him "Valentino" after the walk and he will be first to benefit from the SOS fund. He is booked to see Ian Stobbart from Clarendon Road Veterinary Surgery as he will need a little help in getting ready for his new home (I have attached a photo) so Valentino and all of us here are at the kennels are very grateful. We have asked Ian our vet if he can do a Brad Pitt equivalent in the dog world for him and he said he will try his best!!!
