Dogs meet Santa at Egremont charity fundraiser for animal rescue

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 14 Nov, 06:08 · Archive

Dogs can meet Santa at a charity event in Egremont on December 6 raising money for Animal Concern Cumbria.

Megan Tinnion, who runs The Dog Barber in Egremont, is holding a charity day on Sunday, December 6 from 1pm to raise money for Animal Concern Cumbria, an animal rescue charity based in the town. The event will feature a raffle, stalls, gifts for dogs, a bar, and photography donated by Lulupix. Dogs will have the opportunity to meet and photograph with Santa, a role being played by a volunteer client.

Tinnion originally planned to donate £1 for every dog she groomed during the year, but postponed this idea after moving into new premises at The Falcon Club, as renovation costs consumed her available funds. 'After a busy year getting the grooming room finished, I thought: What other way could I donate to charity?' she said.

Tinnion has renovated the old cricket pavilion in The Falcon Club's overflow car park and has wider expansion plans. In the new year, she intends to open a shop in one room and convert a large room with outdoor space into a dog sensory enrichment centre, to be named 'Not so wild in the West', available for private hire and group bookings.
