Was lovely to have Finley come to class for his 10th birthday treat! He used to come when he was younger, but now his little brother and sister need the training more 🤣
Happy birthday Fin 💜🐾

A big thank you to everyone who supported our inaugural Durlston Charity Dog Show. We are thrilled to announce that we raised £884.68 for Oakhaven Hospice.

It was fantastic to bring Durlston families and the local community together for a fun-filled event that will also make a real difference to Oakhaven Hospice.

"We are really thrilled to receive such a large donation! The dog show photos looked fantastic and I have heard several wonderful reports about the event from visitors. On behalf of Oakhaven Hospice, thank you to everyone involved in raising this fantastic amount of money, which will support the vital services we offer to local families." Hannah Davies, Community Fundraiser at Oakhaven Hospice.
