The campaign continues. As many of you know, Mac, our 13 year old Cairn Terier - a regular on my swapmeet travels and usually found asleep in a apple box under the table - sadly had to be put to sleep over the Xmas holiday period. In his memory I have pledged to raise funds to aid Various Animal Rescues including Doris Banham (www.dogsos.co.uk) , Animal Helpline (www.homes4dogs.co.uk) , Many Tears Rescue (www.manytears.co.uk) , Tailends (www.tailends.co.uk) and Cambridge University Veterinary School Trust.

The original aim was to raise over £3000 during 2008, as a one off this year. But the plight of many of these rescues is such that we will make it ongoing. 

How you can help.

1.  Everytime you purchase any spare part from our extensive range we will donate 5%.

2.  Email us and let us round up your orders to the nearest 50p or pound.

3.  Purchase selected items from our websites, this includes dog biscuits, shaving creams and unboxed railway. All the profit from the sale of charity items will  be split between the charities.

Total Raised since January £2440 (updated 09/12/08). 

Look out for items for sale with 100% of the proceeds direct to the charity fund.

So far we have given £75 each to Animal Helpline and Dogsos to sponsor their websites.

Donated a pressure washer for kennel cleaning.

Given vouchers totalling £500 to 4 charities to reward fundraisers and helpers, this is ongoing every month.

Sponsored two dogs at Tailends and donating treats.

Fostered three ex-breeding dogs and adopted another Cairn, from Many Tears Animal Rescue.
