Dumfriesshire & Cumbria Greyhound Rescue

8th February 2010 Ashlea Vets of Carlisle donate £520 to DCGR On 4th February, Ashlea Vets of Carlisle, presented a cheque for £520.00 to the Dumfriesshire and Cumbria Greyhound Rescue. Each year, Ashlea Vets raise money for  two chosen charities - one for people and the other for animals. This year, they have raised £1,120.00 - £600.00 of which was donated to the victims of the Haiti earthquake, and £520.00 to Dumfriesshire and Cumbria Greyhound Rescue. Ashlea Vets  chose to donate the money to the DCGR for 2 reasons - they had contacted DCGR last year when a lurcher puppy was handed into the surgery - the puppy had been abused and abandoned and the vet practice contacted DCGR to help find a home for the puppy. The second reason was that a number of the vets' clients have rescue greyhounds themselves. The main fund raising was organised by Christine Stalker, Veterinary receptionist, Rowena Batey, Veterinary Nurse, and Kirst Barker, Vet. The money was raised by having Quiz Nights, and by vet, Kirsty Barker, being sponsored to take part in the Great North Run, and the Cumbrian Run.
