HOW YOU REALLY DO HELP US
We try to cut costs as much as we can here at Gosling Moor, but maintaining the home finding operation is a very expensive business and a large percentage of the funds raised do go towards the medical welfare of the dogs and the day-to-day running costs. However, initiatives like the sponsored walk have helped us raise the money to treat all of our dogs to a brand new kennel jacket - so when you think about them warm as toast in their beds please remember that your support, time, hard work and generosity have helped us to achieve this.
THANK YOU FROM NOSEY AND ALL THE GREYHOUNDS
CROSSPOOL GARDENS OPEN DAY
Thank you from Martin and Lesley to everyone that came and supported them on the day. Fraser had worked his paws off (with a little help from Martin and Lesley) and the garden looked beautiful. A total of £63.00 was raised: Thank You again to all those who attended.
Pictured here are Alison and Chris Hunton and their wonderful greyhounds Ralph and Grace. Alison and her team from the Co op have done their second mammoth store-to-store sponsored walk and raised huge amounts of money for our greyhounds.
Please take a moment to read Ralph's Dog Blog on the Events page.
Thank You Alison, Chris, Ralph, Grace, Mick and ALL the walkers: if you need to rest your weary feet/paws Nosey says you can use her kennel anytime!
These two young gentlemen called Leon and Malachy helped our greyhounds by holding a garage sale selling toys and buns.
Thank You so much Leon and Malachy from all the greyhounds and staff at Gosling Moor Farm.
P.S: Thank you for giving the money to Roy: if you'd have given it to Homer behind you he'd have spent it all on dog biscuits just for him!
John Stenhouse
1954-2009
On Wednesday 12th August 2009 our dear friend and one of our most dedicated, loyal and hard-working supporters of Sheffield Retired Greyhounds passed away.
John and his four lovely greyhounds: Sophie, Ricky, Dessie and Champ have been helping with 'Beat the Book' at Owlerton Stadium three nights per week, every week for the past two years. John's friendship and dedication has made such a real and valuable difference to our homing operation.
THANK YOU to all of you who came to John's memorial service: it was so heart warming to realise just how much everyone appreciated John.
John sitting in the garden surrounded by his four best four-footed friends will be a sight we'll all dearly miss. The money donated in memory of John will not only go on to help us home more greyhounds, but we'll be buying a bench in John's memory. THANK YOU TO ALL THE PEOPLE THAT HELPED US HONOUR JOHN.
Rest in peace John
