Nine-year-old entrepreneur launches dog show
 |
Scarlett Berry, who has made a whopping £4,000 for animal charities since November 2011 by selling her own dog biscuits, is now launching a dog show on Saturday...
The nine-year-old entrepreneur came up with the idea for a dog show earlier this year – and thanks to her friends, family and Facebook supporters, the Barking Berry's Bakery Fun Dog Show will take place in Central Park, Westhoughton, near Bolton.
The budding vet plans to raise money for Bolton Destitute Animal Shelter and Dogs Trust in Merseyside.
She has also invited 20 other animal rescue charities to fundraise for their own causes on the day.
“I wanted lots of different rescue charities to have the chance to raise money," said Scarlett. “We have people coming to the show from Wiltshire, Bedfordshire, Cardiff and North Wales.
“They heard about my fundraising on Facebook and wanted to support what I was doing.”
Scarlett has arranged for 10 dog show classes, games and a flyball demonstration for the canines, and a bouncy castle and face painting for the kids.
Her proud mum, Sarah Berry, said: “We’ve been thrilled by the amount of support we have had from local and national charities.
“Dogs Trust is providing us with all the equipment for the show ring and charities such as Greyhound Rescue West of England have advised us on organisation.”
The dog show starts at 11am until 4pm. Entry to the event is free and the 10 fun dog show classes cost just £1 each to enter.
