A huge thank you to Sarah and Fiona of Holmes & Murphy
Veterinary Practice in Llandudno for inviting us to be part

very good day with an excellent turn out of local people and

We had a successful day of fundraising plus we had a couple of enquiries about adopting a Hound. We would like to thank everyone at the vets for making us feel so welcome and for their very generous donation
