Animal art auctionWith the seasonal increase in
abandoned pets in mind, Worthing’s Gallery @ The Dome held an art auction for
our benefit on Thursday 21 January. The auction was part of an exhibition
entitled “All Creatures Great and Small”, showcasing over 100 exceptional works of art, all around an animal
theme. Many local, national and
international artists donated pieces for the auction, and some of our
supporters with an artistic flair also donated. The Gallery’s Angela
Albiston was the auctioneer, and several of the charity’s staff and trustees were
on hand to chat with donors and buyers and assist with the proceedings. At least one new member and a number
of potential volunteers were recruited. The auction raised
£456 for us from donated art work.
Angela handed over a giant cheque at a presentation ceremony at the
Gallery a few days later. Animal health advice
As part of our measures to
encourage responsible pet ownership and keep your vet bills down, a new page
on this site sets out some simple animal health measures and gives access to
further advice. Visit our Veterinary page now. Out
of hours emergencies Our
arrangements for out of hours emergency cover have changed. Since Monday 21 December 2009, all
out of hours cover is provided by Northdale Veterinary Clinic, Victoria Road,
Worthing, tel 01903 202474. This
will mainly affect clients in the Littlehampton and Rustington area, who
would previously have gone to Fitzalan or Pet Care. We have also reduced our charitable subsidy towards out of
hours emergency treatment costs from 50% to 35%. More details on our Contact page.
5 x 4-legged friends We were delighted
to learn that our support base has expanded by at least 6, in the shape of
the West Hove Terrors. These characters
form the world famous Westie display featured on local TV and national press
and hailed the Celebrity Dogs of Hove.
West Hove Terror no. 1, Mopsy Wiggle-Bottom, 9, thought it would be a
wonderful idea to use their fame to raise money for animals less fortunate
than themselves. In 3 years, the
Terrors have raised over £3,200 for 38 charities, including £64.25 for us,
all through an impressive display of collecting tubes at their home. Our thanks to
Mopsy, Muffin, Muttley, Matisse, Muddles (RiP) and Mumbles, and keep up the
good work.
