THE staff and dogs at Dogs Trust Evesham would like to offer their thanks to everyone who came along to our annual Open Day on Sunday, July 31.

The event raised more than £4,000 which will help us to find more homes for stray and abandoned dogs across the UK.

Dogs Trust is the UK's largest dog welfare charity and we care for more than 12,000 dogs every year in our network of 15 Rehoming Centres - including Dogs Trust Evesham - based at Pitcher's Hill, Wickhamford. We are entirely supported by donations so to be able to raise so much money is a real lifeline and will help us to continue our vital work. For more information on the charity please visit www.dogstrust.org.uk.
