Thank you to all the contributors of raffle and auction prizes. These hotels, restaurants, artists and local businesses gave freely, out of their love of dogs and support for the work that Care for Dogs does. Without their kind donations we would not have been able to raise so much money.

Lovers of dogs, former adoptive parents of Care for Dogs hounds, and care-takers of Snowball Columbus, they agreed without hesitation to open up their venue in support of this event.
Next week, Care for Dogs will be attending the Nimmanheamin Arts & Design Promenade - The annual event - held during the first weekend of December
