Race Night Raises £500 + Good News for the Kennels >> Posted: 4th March 2007 This is John & June with their lovely papillon boys. They had a race night in their home last August, thanks go to all their friends & neighbours who went along and supported them and had a great night by all accounts. The fantastic sum of £500 was raised and donated to us at Second Chance. When June and John came along with the money we had a wee Bichon Frise puppy, who had been brought in by her owner to be rehomed. June was in love but as they didn't come looking for a puppy they went away home and obviously thought about Meg but were back before we shut! John said on a scale of 1 - 10 how sure were you we would come back and of course it was a 10!! Home visit was done and wee Meg, who had quite an allergy to fleas so was missing some hair, went to the best home we could ever have found for her. This is late being posted as Meg's owner who signed the wee soul over to us wasn't happy where we rehomed her and took us to the small claims court in February. We are highly delighted to say with help and support from James, June & John and a few other people WE WON!!!! The 2nd pic is of Meg when she arrived at the kennels.
Edinburgh Airport Staff Raise over £600! >> Posted: 11th February 2007 This is Caroline with "our Woody", John & Craig, Woody's owners. Woody was just such a wee soul, with wee wonky legs when John & Craig took him into their home and hearts and just look at him now! Thanks lads! These very kind people all work at Edinburgh Airport and had a silent auction on behalf of Second Chance Kennels they raised the excellent sum £601.58 Thanks go to all who contributed, we are building an isolation kennel and this added to what we had will enable us to finish building the kennel, fencing, roof, ect.
