Festive fun for furry friends

The rehoming centre on Parkway, Denton, will throw open its doors at 10am and will offer everything from stalls selling gifts for four and two-legged friends, tombolas, raffles, games, a cafe full of festive foods and canine capers with fun competitions for four-legged visitors.

Nicola Hardman, Supporter Relations Officer at Dogs Trust Manchester and organiser of the event, said: “We are really excited and can’t wait to welcome everyone to the fair.

"There will be lots of fun activities for owners and dogs to take part in and dogs can show off their skills with fun competitions including Fastest Recall and Best Sausage Catcher as well as Prettiest Pooch, Most Handsome Dog, Best Golden Oldie and Best Dogs Trust Rescue.

“We will also have a rehoming parade so that people looking to welcome a dog into their life can find out more about some of the dogs still waiting to find their special someone.

“It’s always very busy and noisy so although we hope lots of dogs, especially former Dogs Trust Manchester residents, come along we would ask people to only bring their dogs if they are sure they will thoroughly enjoy it!”

Parking and entry are free to the fair. The fair will run from 10am-4pm.
