Pawsome time at ‘Bark Off’ Event
 

Fish4Dogs hosted a special afternoon tea to help launch the Great Birmingham Bark Off event in aid of Birmingham Dogs Home – raising £120 and showcasing an array of tasty bakes for humans and their four-legged friends.

 

The rescue centre is encouraging supporters to stage their own ‘Bark Off’ events at work, home or through social activities, in order to help thousands of stray dogs in need.

 

Fish4Dogs, an ongoing sponsor of the charity, helped kicked things off with their own event, at its head office in Rushock, Worcestershire.

 

Staff were joined by Birmingham Dogs Home Digital Marketing Officer and Community Fundraiser Rachel Frost and CEO Giles Webber along with special guest and dogs home resident Lola, the rescued Akita, who has been sponsored for life by Fish4Dogs.

 

Rachel and Giles judged the cakes for human consumption while Lola decided on which of the doggy cakes took the top spot. These included a ‘Stargazy Delight’ and a ‘Finest Mousse Cake’ which was Lola’s clear favourite. Doggy cake recipie videos can be found on Fish4Dogs’ social media channels including www.facebook.com/Fish4DogsUK

 

 

Fish4Dogs CEO Graham Smith said: “We have a wonderful relationship with Birmingham Dogs Home and it’s one of mutual respect because animal welfare is at the heart of what we both do.

 

“It’s an association that works really well. The charity frequently receive dogs in very poor conditon and our donations, helpto achieve a visible improvement in the condition of those dogs which can then be rehomed and enjoy long and happy lives in their new homes.”

 

Said Rachel Frost, DMO for Birmingham Dogs home: “We would like to thank Graham and the whole team from Fish4Dogs, including their four-legged work colleagues, for holding their very own ‘Bark Off’ at their head office and for raising this amazing amount for our homeless dogs.

 

“It was great to see the enthusiasim of everyone involved and you could tell so much work had been put into each creation. Their support enables us to help so many unfortunate dogs across the West Midlands, just like Lola, so every ‘Bark Off’ that takes place helps us get that little bit closer to finding all our dogs happier tomorrows. Fish4Dogs’ continued support means the world to thousands of dogs that come through our doors, and for that we can’t thank them enough.”
