Wadworth Put Best Paw Forward with Wadwoof Walkies!

Wadworth are raising money for Dogs Trust on International Dog Day with their very first Wadwoof Walkies event!

On Friday August 26th, dogs and their humans are invited to take a stroll starting and ending at the Wadworth Brewery Tap & Shop, in aid of the charity. The UK is currently experiencing a dog welfare crisis following an increase in โ€˜lockdown dogsโ€™ bought during the pandemic and now being abandoned due to the cost-of-living.

REWARDS FOR THE TAIL-WAGGERS

The first five people to sign-up will receive a special โ€˜thank youโ€™, a ceramic dog bowl personalised with their poochโ€™s name by Wadworthโ€™s super-talented sign-writer, Wayne Richings.

Wadworth will also reward every dog that completes the walk with a rosette, as well as some treats and a much-deserved glug of dog beer thatโ€™s guaranteed to get tails wagging at the finishing line.

TREATS FOR THE LEAD-HOLDERS

For the humans, thereโ€™ll be hand-made pizza, available to buy from The Woodland Pizza Kitchen between 4pm and 8pm, as well as beer and other drinks to wash it down with from the Brewery Tap. Wadworth recommend pre-ordering pizzas before setting off on the walk.

Participants will also get the chance to have a professional photo taken of their dog looking their best with their Wadwoof Walkies rosette. Wadworth will share these with event-goers after the event.

SIGN UP TODAY

Entry costs ยฃ10 per person and is payable by card only on the day. ยฃ5 from each ticket sale will be donated to Dogs Trust. Sign-up HERE.

The walk starts promptly at 5.30pm and event-goers can choose from a 30-min or 1-hour route.
The route is mainly shaded with few roads to cross.
There will be a water station en-route.
The Woodland Pizza Kitchen will be open between 4pm-8pm and pizzas can be pre-ordered via direct message on their Facebook page.

Can you Help Teddy?

What better way to start the new year off than helping a doggie with a hole in his heart? Teddy the golden cockapoo, and owner Hannah Knowles from Tidworth are raising money to help towards Teddyโ€™s two heart operations.

โ€œTeddy is a with a vibrant personality that lights up our lives,โ€ Hannah said. โ€œWe recently lost two dogs this year and decided we were ready for a new troublemaker in the house to give her new sister Ke Ke some company. They bonded instantly and havenโ€™t left each other alone since. The vet thought she had a heart murmur until she went for a check-up scan and discovered she had a pulmonic stenosis and Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). In short this means she has a hole in her heart and needs a balloon in her artery, this will require two heart surgeries when she reaches 4 kilos. These operations will cost a total of ยฃ8000 and its money that a normal working family does not have.โ€

โ€œWe have hope for teddy and there is a 95% chance she will live a normal doggy life after. She has bonded with her new sister Ke Ke and we canโ€™t imagine their lives without each other. Any donation is appreciated and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.โ€

Hannah has set up a GoFundMe page, here, if you can, please donate. Thank you!
