Sunshine at last

Looks like summer has finally arrievd at Colton, suppose we better make the most of it though.

Facebook & Twitter are certainly attracting some interest and although we've not quite got as many followers on Twitter as Dogs Trust, it's growing slowly. Links from our website will take you to our pages on both these sites.

Work on tiling in the rescue block began on Monday. The walls are having to be lined first but the job is moving along quickly and already we can see one kennel half tiled - and very nice it looks too. It will make the kennel environment much easier to clean and offer as good a quality of accomodation I think you'll find anywhere (said modestly of course). Funding for this work was provided by a legacy, a donation from The Jean Sainsbury Animal Welfare Trust and Gift Aid.

Gift Aid is so vital to all charities so please make sure that if you give any donation, no matter how small, you do let us know if you are a tax payer. We do have computer software looking after the Gift Aid but always need to know of any changes, especially if you no longer pay tax and even more importantly if you now pay tax having been a non tax payer for a while.

Homing has been a little bit slower this month, but that's not unusual. There are still plenty of dogs needing our help so everyone homed is a welcome empty kennel to another needy collie.

Bye for now

Ben
