My daughter wanted to foster for a dog rescue but fell in love with her first foster dog and ended up keeping it! She felt awful letting down the owner of the rescue centre who seems such a hard working, caring woman and decided to go about fund raising. We're going to go for a car boot sale and have secured some really fab stuff - no tatty toys or chipped crockery in sight! Disappointingly, I have a friend who's moving soon and another friend who has just downsized to a five bedroom house (yes, honestly!) and both have already taken masses of items to charity shops but they've still managed to give us some great items!
Now, the dog rescue is based in Brentwood, Essex, an area I don't know, but we thought rather than go to a boot sale local to us, we'd be better going to one in the Brentwood area where people may be more inclined to support a local charity. Someone told us the one at Boreham is the largest car boot in the country but someone else told us the Lazy Bones car boot in Rettendon is better because it starts later and attracts more people as a result.
Anyone know anything about either of these venues or know of anywhere better? Really want to raise as much money as possible! Our local feed merchant is letting us put a collection box in his shop as well as a bin where people can donate food - he said he'd put any dented cans or damaged boxes of biscuits in the bins for good measure!
Daughter's little rescue dog was living on the tenth floor of a tower block and social workers recommended her removal because of domestic violence. She's now loving living the life of a country dog in a multi-dog household. She's a year old Springer x Staffie called Lily and she's gorgeous!
