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.

As you can see a ‘greyt’ day was had by all. A huge thank you to Diane and her new hubby from all the hounds at GRACE.

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.

If you have supported any of our fundraising activities, you’ll probably be familiar with two of our ‘greyt’ volunteers Julie and Doreen.

The dynamic duo were out and about again recently at a Family Fun Day, where they raised £93.10.

This brought the total raised by Doreen and our GRACE supporters to over £300 that particular week, broken down as follows:

£31.55 from the Ted Baker draw. Thank you Andrea Lita for donating it.

£6 from sales.

£93.10 from the Family Fun Day

£104 from our Weekly Bonus Ball

£29 from our Weekly Bonus Ball

£40 from the sale of a lawnmower, which was kindly donated by Claire Sayer.

Thank you so much to everyone who supported our Summer Show recently. It was a ‘greyt’ success and raised £668.53 for GRACE. P.S. There are lots more photos on our Facebook page.

Talented photographer Lianna Charlesworth kindly offered to photograph some of the dogs in our care recently to improve their chances of finding their forever homes. We think the results are brilliant. Thank you Lianna!

We received some devastating news recently. Katie sadly had to let the beautiful Mia go over the rainbow bridge. We are so very sorry, but send lots of hugs to Katie and her family for showing Mia a life of love and kindness, as you can see from their gorgeous tribute below. Run free sweet Mia.

Thank you as always to the wonderful colleagues at Asda Thornaby for their latest food donation for our GRACE hounds.

Thank you to everyone who supported us at our recent GRACE stall at Guisborough market. And a special thanks to our volunteers Frank, Ann, Mike, Mel, Julie, Lynn, Morse and Nadia.

We made £171.10.

Morse had such a busy day meeting the public, he needed a lie down in the sun when he got back to GRACE HQ!
