Reunion Dog Walk October 2024
There was a great turn out for our reunion dog walk this year and everyone was greeted by an afternoon of sunshine! Thanks to everyone that attended and two very generous donations by two people that couldn't make it, we raised a whopping £1050. As always, its so lovely to see our dogs, happily adopted and living their best lives. Below are just some of the photos, our apologies if we missed anyone. Next walk will be 11 October 2025 so don't forget to stick it in the diary!

70 people attended (about 40 dogs) and we took £1250. Over 50% of the funds raised were from registration and donations on the day- you were so generous! 50% will go to our neutering arm, Spay It Forward, so it can continue it’s vital work paying for small trusted rescues to neuter their dogs and those outside their shelters
Sincere and eternal thanks to all those lovely people who made the effort - we know who you are and we bless you!

Lynne Spencer , founder of Give a Dog a Home - UK here. We are hoping raise funds to build our fearful sanctuary dog, Elsa, a new kennel so that she can spend her days in comfort with her loved caregivers and a few other dogs she knows and trusts. Each brick costs £5 and we hope at the end to add a plaque with names of contributors above her new door!

Spay a Stray Today - Maverick Race - Saturday 5th December
We rescue puppies and dogs all year round, but this is only half the story. By helping trusted dog-rescuers to spay and neuter homeless dogs in their localities, we strive to reduce the canine overpopulation crisis at its source and thereby reduce the number of puppies born into lives of needless suffering, fear and premature deaths...
One of our fantastic supporters, Paul Wheeler, is running a 22km Maverick Race with his beloved woofie in December and we are hoping to raise £200.
This will be enough to spay 5 dogs at our chose rescue called Ezios Rescue, in Bosnia, run by a lady called Rusmira Rodjakovic. This lady rescues dogs and puppies off the streets that have been abandoned and mistreated. Some of these dogs will never be 'sofa' dogs, but if we can help spay the females, it will at least prevent so many unwanted puppies...

Maverick Race - Saturday 14th November
EDIT - We raised over £500! Thank you to Paul and all of our wonderful supporters x
Paul is a long time amazing supporter of Give A Dog A Home, and is running two marathons in two months this winter! The first marathon is an incredible 24km and is on Saturday 14th November, around South Downs National Park.
All the money we can raise in sponsoring Paul will go towards the dogs we rescue from the very worst of conditions. As many of our supporters will know, as well as trying to offer help and homes to lots of dogs every single month, we also cover long term medical bills and short term fostering costs.
Every single penny makes such a difference, and we regularly show how many lives we have changed on our Facebook and Instagram pages as well as on our Success Stories page on our website.
Please join us in supporting Paul and rescuing more wonderful woofies via our Go Fund Me page.

Ben had a difficult start in life; found as an orphaned singleton pup foraging for food in rural Greece, he was taken into a kind shelter and finally brought to the UK for adoption. However his leishmaniasis (usually dormant or cheaply treatable in young dogs) became active and due to bladder problems which required two major surgeries, he is not able to take the usual medication. His recent vet bills have been high and this is sadly likely to continue. Ben is only 7 years old and has the most vigorous ‘lust for life’ despite, we think, now going blind. He is deliriously and gratifyingly happy with his dog behaviourist mum and dad . Give a Dog a Home pays his medical expenses and will do so for life, which we are determined will be as long as we can make it . For my birthday fundraiser this year, please help with his medical costs? Every little helps, for us, a very small and extremely caring ‘niche’ rescue who look after the lowest of the low - foreign homeless dogs. Let’s not forget them in this difficult time of our own medical crisis.
Sending love and blessings, Lynne xx

Very reluctantly we have had to cancel our Reunion Dogwalk on 5 April 2020 because of the virus and resultant government restrictions on gatherings, travel and distancing .
Apart from being fun and a joy to reunite with old friends,the Dogwalk is one of the big fundraisers in our year and we will sorely miss the income which would have gone to dogs in need.
If you feel able at all to donate the dog walking entrance fee of £5 to our PayPal below or to our bank account, we would be able to carry on with our vital work.

Some of the fabulous artwork available for auction at our Artwork Fundraising Event
We have had a conference call this morning and decided to CANCEL the Reunion Dogwalk planned for tomorrow, with great regret. There is a Yellow Weather Warning for the South East which means potential disruption for road and rail travel and combined with wet underfoot, 40 + mph winds and swollen rivers ( not to mention wet chalk cliffs!) we feel it would be irresponsible on health and safety grounds to encourage people to travel to see us, much as we would love to see you all.
We have rearranged for Sunday April 5 2020 which will become an Annual Reunion Dogwalk Event in the first weekend of April, alternate Saturdays and Sundays, from now on.
Please get in touch with us if you have sponsorship forms .
We look forward to seeing you either at out Art Exhibition , Christmas Fair or next Dogwalk on April 5th!
Please join us for our autumn Reunion Dog Walk on Sunday 6th October... a great afternoon of dogs, dogs and more dogs! There will be lots of merchandise by Give a Dog a Home and Wooftastic plus a table of delicious cup cakes... all money raised will go towards rescuing and homing more dogs. Look forward to seeing you there!
