Shibden Dog Day will take place next month and raise funds for RSPCA's Really Big ReFURb
Dog lovers are invited to bring their four-legged friends to Shibden Park for a fun-filled day of fundraising for animals in need.
RSPCA Halifax, Huddersfield & Bradford Branch is preparing for Shibden Dog Day which will take place next month.
The event will take place at Shibden Park, Halifax on Saturday, October 3 from 12pm and promises to be a fun day out for the whole family, whether you’re bringing your own pooch along or just simply love dogs.
There will be a 12-class fun dog show as well as the chance to stock up on tasty treats, toys, accessories and other doggy essentials from a varied choice of stalls.
While Shibden Dog Day is all about having fun, every pound raised will help RSPCA Halifax, Huddersfield & Bradford Branch continue its Really Big ReFURb – the major transformation of its Wade Street Animal Centre in Halifax.
The Really Big ReFURb is creating a more modern, comfortable and enriching environment for animals in the branch’s care, helping give them the space and facilities they need while they wait for their forever homes.
The branch has nearly completed Phase One of the project, but fundraising continues to complete the final phase and deliver the full facility transformation.
By coming along to Shibden Dog Day, people will be helping to make a real difference to animals from across Halifax, Huddersfield, Bradford and the surrounding areas.
Lauren Moore, Fundraising Manager at RSPCA Halifax, Huddersfield & Bradford Branch, said: “Shibden Dog Day is going to a lovely day for the local community.
"We wanted to create an event where people can simply come along, have fun with their dogs, enjoy the atmosphere and get involved in our 12-class fun dog show.
“But behind all the fun, there’s a really important reason for holding the event.
"Every penny raised will help us continue our Really Big ReFURb and get us closer to completing the transformation of our animal centre.
“We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who supports our appeal, and events like this are a fantastic way for the community to come together and help local animals at the same time.”
