The fun dog walk on Easter Sunday with our friends at Frandham rehoming dog Kennels in River near Dover was a great success.
The weather was just right and we had around 30 people attend which was good considering there were lots of other events going on that day!
A total of £307 was raised and has been split equally for the dogs at Frandham and the cats here at Rhodes Minnis.
Thank you to everybody that helped us and came along for the walk.
Do you love dogs too and going for walks? Look here!!
Our good friends at Frandham Re-homing Centre in River near Dover are holding a fundraising walk on Sunday 16th April.
It costs £7 per person or you can help us raise as much as you can by coming up to the sanctuary or to Frandham to collect a Sponsor form.
The walk starts at 11am and it takes approximately 2.5 hours to complete.
It starts and finishes at Frandham Kennels, Minnis Lane, River, Dover CT15 7DN. Please note it is a hilly area!
On your return you will be met with tea, coffee, hot cross buns, cakes and more!
All money raised will help fund the homeless dogs at Frandham Kennels and our cats here at Rhodes Minnis.
We look forward to seeing lots of you there.

We are delighted to announce that our fun quiz night and supper on Sat 25th March raised a brilliant £713.
Thank you everybody that came along and to all who helped make it a great success. We look forward to the next one in a few months time.
We are looking for somebody special to give a very special old boy a home.
This is Duke. Many of you who have visited the sanctuary would have had the pleasure of meeting Duke. He absolutely loves people and will make it his mission to go up and get a fuss from everyone. He’s such a gentle old soul and very affectionate.
He came into the sanctuary in December 2015 with his black and white brother Marlo after their previous owner passed away. He is 16 years old and has to eat a renal diet.
His brother Marlo had a few age related problems including loosing his eyesight, not that you would have known because he still made his way around the sanctuary.
Sadly we have lost Marlo due to his age related problems and we miss him greatly and so does Duke. We feel that Duke deserves to spend his final few years in a loving home with somebody who can give him lots of affection and love.
Our first ever table top sale on Sat 11th March at the St Andrews Church Hall in Cheriton was a great success and we managed to raise a total amount of £363 (after expenses). All proceeds have gone towards the homeless cats. Thank you to everybody who helped us out and came along to grab a bargain.
