Paws For The Cure Fundraiser

There was a tragedy at a home for dog's: TheManchester Dog's Home in the UK.  60 dogs died in a fire that burned the home to the ground. And, because of this tragedy - a group of dachshunds (and their owners) got together and organized a fund raiser to help rebuild the home
A group of 16 dachshunds came together for special play day and coffee morning to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support anManchester Dogs’ Home.


The canine caper was hosted by Bernie Bowling, who runs the Sir Wagalot Dog Walking service and Slinky Dog Hotel in Heaton Moor.

All the dogs who attended usually go to Bernie for boarding or daycare.
The four-legged guests sported ‘Paws for the Cure’ bandanas and tackled an agility course before tucking into dog cake, while their owners enjoyed a coffee.

Macmillan believe it was the first ‘World’s Biggest Coffee Morning’ event with a guest list entirely made up of dachshunds.

It raised £554 for Macmillan and £100 for Manchester Dogs’ Home, which was used to buy toys for the home.
