Teddies from Caring Clare!

Back in April, our South Connaught and Clare Education Officer, Dawn, visited Holy Family Junior School in Ennis, Co. Clare. Over the course of a couple of days she spoke to all 12 of their classes, finding out lots about their dogs, and talking about what dogs need to be healthy and happy. Dawn had a fantastic visit, and was delighted when Ms Normoyle's class offered to organise a collection of soft toys in the school, so that she could bring them up to the centre for the dogs!

 

So last week Dawn headed back to Holy Family to collect the teddies, and was presented with 4 big black bags of them! In fact, the children had been so generous, and had done such a good job of collecting the teddies, that they took up all the space in Dawn's boot!

 

Teddies Galore!

 

The Education Team would like to say a HUGE Thank You to the staff and students at Holy Family Junior school for organising this collection, and for being so generous! An extra special Thank You goes to Ms Normoyle's class who took charge of the collection. You can see a photo of them helping load Dawn's boot on their website http://www.holyfamilyjuniorschool.com/ (photo 21 on the slideshow).



We are sure you will all agree with Dawn's dog Odie that HFJS did a terrific job donating their old and unwanted soft toys for the dogs in Dogs Trust.

Dogs Trust always welcomes donations such as these as they go a long way to keeping the very special dogs in our care healthy and happy. We also take in food donations, and always need enrichment foods used to treat our residents and to help with their training. The kinds of food that our dogs love are listed below.
 



If you would like to donate any of these items, they can be dropped off at our rehoming centre on the Ashbourne Road, Finglas, Dublin 11.

 

Many Thanks in advance!
