We had an absolutely wonderful time at Alhampton Inn’s “A Dog’s Day Out” which was held in support of Forever Hounds Trust — and we have so many thank you’s to say!
- Huge thanks to our amazing volunteer Rose and the Alhampton Inn for organising such a fantastic event.
- A special shoutout to our incredible guest judge, Martin Clunes, who completely charmed the crowd (and the dogs too!).
- Thank you to everyone who helped behind the scenes — especially our brilliant volunteers who ran our stall and kept everything running smoothly.
- And of course, thank YOU to everyone who came along, entered the dog show, and supported our cause!
Together, we raised an amazing total of £1050.74 (£640 from the dog show and £410.74 from our stall). This will go directly to helping the hounds in our care!










But that’s not all…on top of this, we received an amazing donation of £1,000 from Animal Friends Pet Insurance who very kindly donated £1,000 as sponsorship for the winner of the Best Rescue class! Thank you to Donna for nominating us, and thank you Animal Friends Insurance for choosing Forever Hounds Trust to be the lucky recipients of your generous donation. It really will make a huge difference to the lives of hounds in need.

Pictured are the winners of the best rescues who came as a pair – Akela and Reese (one was rescued from China), along with their parents, judge Martin Clunes and the Forever Hounds Trust volunteers!
Our normal photographer Rose, was busy stewarding, but still managed to find to time to take a few snaps! You can check them out here. If you feature, and would like to keep a memory of the day, for a suggested donation of £10 for one image, or £20 for three images you’ll receive A4, high-res digital photos (no watermark!) — and help even more hounds!

Thank you all for making this such a special day! ❤️
