Lots Of Dog Goodies For My Local Animal Shelter

I have won a huge assortment of Fabulous Dog'ie dog.gifGoodies for my local Dog Sanctuary 'Stilesmeadow'.
I can honestly say this is by far the most rewarding prize I have ever won
:j :j :j :j :j
The people who work on the website do an absolutely fantastic job of highlighting and fundraising for Animal Rescue Centres across the UK :A
I've got to admit I was really downhearted :( a few weeks ago about this thread, because even though over 800 peeps had viewed it, only 15 people could manage a thankyou :mad: , as im typing this now I can feel the tears forming because I feel so sad that these good people who volunteer their own time and money have had so little support from us here. Its not as if they are asking people to donate, purchase anything or even give a Dog a home! (though that would be obviously fantastic) ...is it really that hard for people to enter a competition even if though they don't receive the prize themselves?
Sorry I'll stop ranting now...Animals In Need always get my emotions flowing.

    well done

    I tend to look at what the prize is and if I dont like the sound of it or dont want to win it then I wont look further in it.

    Edit: just realised it wasnt on the comps board it was on the referrers and I never venture across there

    Hi Hjb,

    Looks like the thread has been moved by browntoa this afternoon as comp now over, but it was previously on the comps board, as I've never been to the referers board either.

    It was moved to the referrers board quite soon after it was posted, which may account for not many from here entering. However, over the period that the competition ran (51 days) there were a number of winners - each representing an animal rescue organisation.

    I spoke with someone at the latter Sanctuary earlier today to get some idea of the sizes and types of things they most needed for the dogs in their care, and the prize parcel is now all packed up and ready to post on Monday.

    The simple fact of knowing someone, somewhere, cares enough to enter a competition and try to win something like this on their behalf, can act as a boost to the spirits of those people working so hard to help ease the plight of the animals in their care.

    Congratulations on your win, Whitestar1, and thank you for entering. :T
