Do you wish you could do something more personal for the Dogs and Cats spending their Christmas in kennels? Well this year you can, with the Three Counties Christmas Shoe box Appeal!
The Shoe Box Appeal will allow the dogs and cats in the rescues’ kennels to have some extra special goodies over the Christmas period and there’s something in it for you too . . .
There will be a prize for the ‘Best Box’ donated!
The lucky winner will receive a goody bag of Three Counties Dog Rescue merchandise. (Also available to purchase directly at https://threecountiesdogrescue.org/shop ).
The winner will be announced on December 19th 2015 (with all boxes for judging needing to be at the drop off points by December 12th).
You can drop your Shoe boxes off at Dawsmere Kennels in Bourne, Burghley Vets in Stamford and Burghley Vets in Deeping.
Have fun and remember we need boxes for cats as well as dogs.
