A big THANK YOU to all the contestants, Top Kebab and all the helpers on the Fun Day on Saturday 8th June. It was a glorious day and donations and money raised will help the Rescues in the Centre. The funding will go towards special diets, vets bills and general care needs. THANK YOU from Peter and Myself and all those animals in our care – Woof, woof, chirp, cheep, squawk, baa and miaow. (see below – After the effort – the rewards)
This year we celebrate our 10th year as an animal rescue and our work continues. Since January we have had more dogs and owners achieving a Certificate for Good Behaviour, Bovril, Sasha, Finn and Poppy. Several dogs are undertaking training courses to pass the grades to allow them to compete in Agility Competitions.
Bovril, Sasha, Finn and Poppy are amongst the many who have happy homes where they enjoy loving companionship. Participating in training for agility and/or obedience has given them confidence with other dogs and people. They are all socialized – a far cry from fear, abandonment and loneliness.

See the poster below for our latest Agility Games. Please note that spectators/supporters are welcome. However, entries are only allowed from those in official Agility Clubs. This years event will be held in the sand-school at Grande Daze Centre.
This year will be the first time that some of the dogs who have passed through the grades will be able to compete. We wish everyone the best of luck and thank everyone for their efforts.
Kodie and Roo are the latest to have achieved their Grade 2. Updates and more information on the agility events can be seen on the Facebook page Club Grande Daze Agility.

We have re-homed hundreds of dogs, held dozens and dozens of fundraising events. Our onsite shop ‘Boîte-Box/Bric-a-Brac’ opened in 2018 and continues to receive donations to provide bargains for all those who visit and have a browse.
We are grateful to all those who participate in events, support us with donations. buy things from our shop, assist us with exercising the rescues and cleaning and maintaining areas of the Centre.
UNFORTUNATELY, WE EXPECT TO MEET MORE NEEDY ANIMALS IN THE NEXT 10 YEARS BUT LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT AND PARTICIPATION.
We go forward to the next years with new plans and ideas which will be posted in due course.
THANK YOU ANITA AND PETER
