Fundraising
There have been a few fundraising events since the start of our 4th year and we thank every one for their continued support.
Events in June 2009.
Eileen Lawton and Gill Rowland with their legion of family helpers held their 3rd annual BBQ. This year held in the splendid surroundings of Eileen and Stuart's lovely home in Mere Brow near Southport. The event was very well attended, despite the weathers best attempts to ruin things. Every one sang the praises of our hosts and Rottweilers in Need were very grateful for the sum of £670 which was raised on the day.

On Saturday 29th August 2009 Bill Hoyle and his Rottweiler Jenson started a sponsored walk from their home in Accrington to their caravan in the Silecroft Holiday Park in the Western Lake District. The walk was completed in three days over the bank holiday weekend, a total distance of 85 miles. The first day was dry but the second and third days were, to say the least, very very wet. The final total that Bill and Jenson raised was £999.50, so Bill donated 50p to make it up to £1000.
