A spokeswoman for Jerry Green said: “We’d also like to thank South Lincs Vet Group for sponsoring rosettes and judging the show, Rooke’s Pet Products for dog show prizes, Holbeach Town Band, Jolly Rogers Mobile Fish and Chips for supporting the event, plus the volunteers who gave their time, people who donated raffle prizes, and the public who turned up on a rainy Saturday to support us – we really appreciated it.”

“We are really delighted to have these new facilities”, said centre manager Jo Hickson. “Not only will they provide a place for the public to hire, they also facilitate our Meet&Match process, which helps people find their perfect dog”.
