Is your dog dazzling? Is your furry friend the fairest of them all?
Is your pooch positively perfect? Is your dog dazzling? Is your cuddly companion the cutest? Is your furry friend the fairest of them all? Then why not enter them into St Clare Hospice’s Cutest Canine Competition.
St Clare is searching for a handsome hound or pretty pup to officially launch our annual 5km Winter Walkies countryside walk taking place on Sunday 25th February 2018. The winner will also receive a hamper of doggy goodies and the coveted title of St Clare’s Cutest Canine!
St Clare Events Fundraiser, Emma Broadbent, said: “We have been running the doggy photo competition as part of our Winter Walkies event for the past 4 years and have had an overwhelming response. Last year’s contest really captured the imagination of our animal-loving supporters, who cast hundreds of votes to make Poppy, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier from Church Langley, the overall winner.”
Emma continued: “We know how much people love their pets, so this year we hope the competition will be just as successful and we can’t wait to see which top dog will be voted St Clare’s Cutest Canine.”
All you need to do to enter the competition is:
1. Register for the Winter Walkies event at www.stclarehospice.org.uk/event/winter-walkies
2. Email a picture of your marvelous mutt and a brief description of your pet (including name, breed and age) to fund@stclarehospice.org.uk by 12noon on Friday 19th January 2018 to go forward to the public vote.
3. Encourage your friends and family to vote for your pet when the gallery of all the competition entrants is published on the St Clare Facebook page on Monday 22nd January 2018.
The dog that receives the most ‘Likes’ when voting closes at 12noon on Friday 26th January 2018 will be named the winner. The winning dog and their owner will be invited to officially launch the Winter Walkies event on Sunday 25th February 2018 at 11am, and will also receive a hamper of doggy goodies.
All entrants to the Cutest Canine Competition must have registered for Winter Walkies 2018 in order to be eligible to enter. Registration costs £10 for adults and £5 for children, which includes a free soup, dog rosette and certificates for children.
