Springdene Dog Show

As part of our re-opening celebrations at Spring Lane, back in October, we held our famous Springdene dog show. This ever-popular event was well attended. Well-preened pooches put their best paw forward to parade for a prize in various doggy categories.  There was much amusement when Alfie, an eight-year-old Bedlington Terrier was judged to be winner in the waggiest tail category!

Whilst on the theme of dogs our existing charity, Medical Detection Dogs, goes from strength to strength.  Springdene families and residents have raised an astonishing £40,000 to sponsor the amazing dogs that can sniff out a range of illnesses, including Covid and diabetes.  We hear that dogs are now being trained to detect prostate cancer – one of the biggest killers of men in Britain.  This pioneering work could not have been done without your donations.
