2024 Charity Dog Show
Fundraiser for ProDogs Direct
Knights were delighted to be able to make a contribution of £500 to ProDogs Direct, the proceeds of our annual dog show. Many thanks to all who supported this event and for putting up with the miserable weather. The dogs were all so very well behaved and it was a pleasure to see them all. We promise to have a bigger arena for next year.
ProDogs Direct would like to thank you all for making this a very special day and for supporting their charity.
ProDogs Direct became a registered Charity in 2006. Prior to this they had been part of the national Charity ProDogs for about 10 years. When ProDogs closed it’s doors, they decided to keep ProDogs re-homing going, as they feel there is a need for dogs to be re-homed without going into kennels; hence the addition of ‘Direct’ to their name.
They often take puppies and dogs that might otherwise be put to sleep. This means that, before they can be re-homed, many of their dogs need extra medical care and TLC.
If you are interested in becoming a fosterer or, adopting, please go to their website for further details. https://prodogsdirect.org.uk
