Black Tie Ball is a great success

Woofabilitys’ first Black Tie Ball was a great success and although the Ball was on the 1st April, there were no fools in attendance. Generous guests raised £4,500 on the night and many tickets have already been reserved for next years’ event. We would like to thank all of our guests, the bands, staff and management at Bentleys and all of the organisations who kindly donated prizes, the funds raised will help to pay for another assistance dog for someone in our area.

Two more puppies arriving soon.

We are very excited to have two Nova Scotia Duck  Tolling Retrievers arriving in mid-April. One of them is being kindly donated by Chrissy, a breeder in Norfolk who specialises in Tollers, when we went to choose our puppy we couldn’t resist buying a second one and so we have a boy and a girl joining the Woofability team shortly.

Twiggy is our Patron!

We are delighted to be able to announce that Supermodel “Twiggy Lawson” has agreed to be our Patron.

Twiggy met our Twiggy at a photoshoot in London and was so impressed with our work that she offered to become our Patron, she is also helping to sponsor “Boggle”, who is one of our latest recruits. Founder Jenny Clarke says “having Twiggy on board is a fantastic opportunity for us to raise our profile which will lead to Woofability being able to train more dogs for Dorset and Hampshire residents. Twiggy is a very busy person and we are grateful for the time she is giving to our cause.”

Bailey is a shot in the dark!

Bailey is a black labrador who has been donated by Lyn, a Poole resident who wants her beloved dog to help a disabled person in Dorset. Bailey is six months old and is our only trainee who is not a golden retriever, he is a very friendly and obedient dog and we are sure that he will make a great partner for someone in 18 months time.

We are very grateful to Lyn and  know that she is very proud of Bailey’s progress, we shall be keeping in contact throughout his training and beyond.

Thank you for your generosity Lyn.
