CANIX- OUR SPORTING FAMILY!

When our little Lab Asha came to the charity little did we know that she would become part of a very successful canix sporting family. She was full of energy and wore Sue out when she fostered her so it was a relief to find her a home where all that pent up energy could be channelled into this enjoyable sport. Asha has a wonderful relationship with young Stephanie who races with her and this partnership has achieved silver medal status at the European Championships- WE ARE SO PROUD OF THEM!

We must also give a mention to big brother Sam who runs with the gorgeous rescue dog Beth from (RDR), and Tristan who runs with cheeky chappie Red who is again a rescue dog. WELL DONE TO STEPHANIE, ASHA, SAM, BETH, TRISTAN AND RED.

Charity Race Night

A Charity Race Night was held recently at the Ship Inn on Falsgrave Road, in memory of the late Tommy McMillan, a long time regular at this popular hostelry. Ade Tong and his lovely partner Paula were 'bookies' for the evening and did a marvellous job helping to raise £560.40 which was split equally between Yorkshire Coast Dog Rescue and Jim Ward Wildlife Rescue; two of Tommy's favourite charities.

Many thanks to Vicky Bell, Landlady Michelle Croft and husband Mark from all the rescue dogs and volunteers at Y.C.D.R.

Treat Therapy For Our Dogs

It is tough being a rescue dog at Christmas when you haven't got a loving home of your own.

For the second year running the Orthopaedic Therapy Team at Scarborough Hospital are making sure our rescue dogs have a happy Christmas by donating a huge box of Christmas treats for them. The dogs will love them!

Triathlon Success

Both Liz and Skip had never done a triathlon before but we are ever so glad that they have now. These lovely ladies decided to compete at the Adult Relay Sprint at Hever Castle in Kent on Saturday 29th September and chose to raise money for our charity.

Ably assisted by their Support Crew member, Dolly, they successfully completed the event and have raised £300 for the charity (a final figure to be confirmed shortly).

Well done to these lovely ladies and a huge thank you for choosing to support our charity, oops and a huge thank you to Dolly too for cheering them on!

Brownies are our Dogs' Best Friend.

We were delighted when Helen Williams, the Brownie Guider got in touch to say Forge Valley Brownie Group, based in Ayton, are working towards their Friends to Animals Badge and have chosen us as their animal charity. Their task is to find out more about the charity and to donate treats for our dogs.. The Brownies were visiting Pets at Home, Scarborough to listen to a talk by Pets at Home staff about small animals, and to get some hands on experience. This was the perfect opportunity to meet the Brownie Group and accept their gifts on behalf of our rescue dogs. Our little Yorkshire Terriers came to meet everyone and enjoyed all the fuss and attention.

GOING, GOING, GONE!!

The gavel came down on a grand total of £2,012 but our Pickering and Malton Branch are hoping the final figure will be nearer £3,000.

After months of preparation, last minute nerves and lots of excitement the Auction night finally arrived. Would people turn up, would they bid, would we raise a lot of money for the dogs? We needn't have worried as everything went according to plan and it turned out to be a huge success and a very entertaining night.

Our main organiser Kate, together with the Pickering and Malton Branch exceeded all expectations raising much needed funds for the charity. We appreciate all their efforts and were constantly astounded at the number of businesses/people who contributed to the event.

We would like to extend a special thanks to our auctioneer, Peter Illingworth, for being so entertaining and involving the children, making it a family event. Many thanks also to Father Antony for opening the event.

We are very grateful to the following and appreciate their support:

Pets at Home Clifton Moor Branch, York.

When The Going Gets Tough You Can Rely On Ben

Much to their disappointment, our Pickering and Malton Branch had to cancel their sponsored dog walk because of bad weather. Young Ben had been looking forward to his walk and wasn't going to let the weather stop him. Together with Martin, his owner, he set off and completed the walk, raising an astounding £70 for the charity.

Well done Ben and a huge thank you to Martin for taking on this challenge despite the weather forecast.
