Thank you so much to Deborah Ann for this very kind donation.

Please keep your fingers and paws crossed for our little lurcher girl Sophie (was Gypsy). She came to us with a large mammary tumour which has now been removed and sent off to labs so we know what it is.

A big thank you to Miss Maggie’s Supper Box for the generous donation towards Sophie’s vet bill, which is really appreciated.

We had a very generous donation of £225 plus £40 in vouchers when one of our lovely supporters recently got married.

Our lovely friend Karin Pattinson and her daughter Hayley Pickthall recently completed a 110 mile walk to commemorate the life and times of their beloved whippet Flash. These dedicated ladies raised hundreds of pounds for GRACE – see their post below. Thank you both so, so much.
