Christmas 2009

Greenfields would like to say a very big thank you to all our volunteers without whose help Greenfields would not exist and who have put so much effort into helping the dogs in 2009


In the Staffordshire Moorlands:


Ann Johnston for all her wonderful work on the website (without Ann and the website we would not get half of the home offers we do)


The team at Churnet Valley Vets especially Pat Kinch (without whose time and dedication we would not be able to provide such good medical care)


Jo, John and Tom Hayes who come every week to take the dogs out for a lovely long walk and stuff them full of treats not to mention all the time and expertise given over Christmas when the three of them insulated all the kennel roofs and installed electric heaters so that our dogs could be warm. Thank you so much guys!


Jason Dix, our intrepid home checker, who drops everything at a moments notice and will go anywhere to do a homecheck. An absolute lifesaver!


And all the people who walk dogs when they can, send us donations throughout the year and often turn up with food and treats for the dogs.
