Awareness Day at Langbank Kennels
Permalink Closed


Hello everyone!

The Awareness Day will be held at the Findlaystone East Logde Kennels in Langbank on Saturday, March 24th from 11am to 3pm! There are about 20 lovely dogs that are in need of a permanet home! Come meet them and take them out for a nice walk. Hopefully the weather will be nice! But if not the dogs would sure love some company!!

In addition to the dogs, we will bring along the GAL shop for those that are looking for great EASTER gifts to give family and friends that have the 4 legged children and of course we will have some yummy bake goods as well! ( I'll bring my gingerbread & Carrot cake too).

If anyone is interested in helping out - please send me an email to linda@gal.org.uk !

Hope to see you there!
Linda

Linda that Carrot cake was amazing.

It was great to see Millies brother, Jamie.

Our dogs slept all the way back and most of the night too.

It was a beautiful day yesterday and I really wish I could have made it over.  I had planned to but unfortunately had a funeral to attend - my step-cousin.  It was another shock and funeral that we really didn't need. 

Next time!

It looks as if it was a great day out for everyone and their dogs! Just wish I had been there too.

The photos are great, but I esp liked the one of Millie and Willow in the back of the car.....  All the dogs look fab with their new collars.

It was a really nice day - we were very lucky with the weather which was gorgeous - I was outside all day in a tee-shirt (one of the new GAL tee-shirts available from the shop).

Everyone enjoyed the baking, the shop did well, and we received a few applications for adoption.

Looking forward to seeing everyone this Saturday at the Easter Collar Parade in Langside College.

Hello everyone!  Yes it was a great sunny day and luckily we did have quite a few people come along to look at the dogs as well as receiving a few applications! With some luck, Dave will be busy getting home checks done and some lovely dog(s) will find permanent homes!

Along with the great shop items and food (YES THERE WILL BE MORE AT THE EASTER COLLAR PARADE DAY THIS COMING SATURDAY - hint hint) it was especially great for the dogs.! We had a few volunteers that came (Fiona, Jacqui and Kathleen to name a few) to walk the homeless dogs. Many of the 22 dogs that were there enjoyed the day outside walking and mingling with people!

It really was a special day and just like the dogs - I came home and wanted to go to sleep too!

Hope to see everyone at the next event and we plan on bringing a few of the homeless dogs as well!

Linda

The T shirts are as follows in the style Lesley is wearing (Ladies fit with V neck)

Red or Black with embroidered logo : S, M/L and XL. 

We also have a navy crew neck t shirt (unisex) in sizes S - XXL.

Both styles are £12.00 and the kids t's are £8.00

The brolly is still a work in progress as the photo is a sample - so I may not now have them in time for the weekend - but I hope so.

We hope to have the new items on the web site shortly also.

Thanks
