Makes you feel good, don't it!

As you may well remember (or still have on your wall), we held the ‘Puparazzi’ event last year, and produced a fabulous 2014 Barkitty Calender, in association with Amour Pix.

I thought you might like to see where the money went. A cheque was donated directly to Soi Dog UK, and the remaining balance was sent to a very special lady working in Thailand, Soot Liang Woo runs the WSK Shelter.

I wanted to share a big THANK YOU with you all, for the money we raised from our 'Puparazzi' calendar from this year. In addition to supporting dogs who were homeless and facing the meat trade in Thailand; our sizeable donation has also helped cats.



Some of our money has been spent on cat food and medicines for the WSK Shelter. There is no budget for cat food and so they have to eat dog food unless Soot buys them something. She has got food now for the next couple of months.
Please support Soi Dog -> https://www.soidog.org
and the WSK Shelter for Dogs & Cats here ->https://www.facebook.com/WSKProject


I’d like to personally thank Rachel Barton for introducing me to the work of Soi Dog, and in turn, the work Soot does. Once again I’d like to thank Amour Pix for their help in creating the calendar, and ‘Graphics and Print’ who produced it for us, free of charge. Also, thanks to everyone who took part, and of course, everyone who bought one. We’ve really enjoyed using ours this year.

Go Laura!

Another of my lovely customers is doing something wonderful to raise money for an animal charity this summer. On the 9th July 2014 Laura Lansbury is taking part in a charity bike ride from London to Paris with her boyfriend and two friends. They will cover 300 miles in 4 days which is going to be tough and a big challenge for them! Her chosen charity is Battersea dogs home as she has a dog of her own, Ruby, and she thinks it’s a good cause to help rehome and reunite dogs with their owners.

If you wish to donate Laura has a justgiving page, where all donations would be greatly appreciated www.justgiving.com/laura-lansbury.

Paws against cancer

We are really proud to be collecting money for ‘Paws Against Cancer’ in Barkitty, on behalf of a customer, Rebecca. Their mission is to increase awareness regarding cancer in our companion animals and provide financial assistance to families that have pets fighting cancer.

In exchange for a £2 donation into the lovely pink pot, you can take away a wristband or ribbon bearing the important message.

Make sure you pick yours up next time you’re in to see us, and for more information visit pawsagainstcancer.com.

For the love of Dogs...


I keep seeing the ads on ITV for Paul O’Grady’s ‘For the love of Dogs’ based at Battersea Dogs & Cats home. I’m really looking forward to the new series, as I enjoyed the last one so much, but also because of the good it does for animal rehoming!

It started last week, May 9th on ITV – and continues every Thursday at 8.30pm.
