Join Deputy (Dog) And Friends
eaders are invited to take part, or R simply say hello and support, fellow readers with their dogs raising funds for the animal rescue which saved their canine friends.
One such dog is Deputy (pictured) – whose life was literally transformed by Cyprus Pride House. Dumped and starving by the roadside on the island of Cyprus, June and Michael Ratcliff who run the rescue on extremely limited resources, rehabilitated him to full health – then found him a lovely home in Nottingham! As a thank you and to help those he left behind, Deputy and others are holding a sponsored dog walk and get-together at Rushcliffe Country Park on Sunday 6 July. Meet-up is at the rescue’s gazebo on the lakeside from 11am; the walk within the park starts at 12 noon.

As local volunteer Fiona Coulson explains: ‘We’re doing this fun dog walk to raise funds and awareness of the desperate, daily existence facing countless animals in Cyprus; Deputy is a lucky one. Every penny makes a difference to an animal being at risk or saved; the scale of neglect which June and Michael also face daily deserves this support.’ All are welcome to enjoy a varied walk (with your woofer if you bring one), whilst raising funds or to simply find out more about Cyprus Pride House. Non-dog walkers are also most welcome, with sponsor forms available from Fiona at horsesea15@gmail.com or 07808-931289, or Anne-Marie at hettys_ hat@btinternet.com.
