DogLost’s first Christmas auction raised nearly £700 in a five-day period last week.
The auction – the brainchild of DogLost supporters Vanessa Stollery, Chrissie Heath and Lesley Jones – attracted more than 70 lots including ones from Barking Heads, Company of Animals, Ruffwear and Turtle Mat.
Bidding was fierce and frantic on some lots, particularly on Nina Ottoson interactive games for dogs and a top of the range Powder Hound dog coat.
A special thanks goes to Lesley Jones for crafting many original Christmas decorations and gifts.
The funds raised will go to supporting the DogLost helpline which offers valuable advice to owners who have lost their dogs. The helpline – which runs 14 hours a day, seven days a week – operates on the country’s largest lost and found website.
The DogLost Auction Page will continue year-round and will have plenty of bargains for DogLost members.
A DogLost spokesperson said: “We are very grateful for all the donations we received for the auction and for the many people who bid.”
