This year’s webcast will allow audiences to feel like they have a seat in the Arena, as they view the wide range of events and competitions from the shows classes and agility displays, to Friends for Life which celebrates our dog heroes.
“We are proud of Crufts and are pleased to go online this year because, although the show will no longer be on the BBC, we know that it is the world’s best platform to bring together those organisations and individuals who care about dogs, so we can continue to make a positive difference to dogs’ lives.
We have the continued support of many high profile veterinary organisations and dog welfare charities and want to ensure that we continue to engage the support of those dog lovers who are unable to get to the show.
People interested in the welfare of dogs housed at the ARK kennels are wanted urgently for at least one morning or one afternoon a week. You are needed to clean kennels and groom the occupants.
If you have time to spare please call The Ark on 435-4108 or email ark@caribsurf.com
Mornings would be from 8 am to 11 am
Afternoons would be from 2 pm to 5 pm.

POISON ALERT!
Did you know ...
This is a very sad case - great dog and great owners,
who had no idea that raisins could be a toxin. The
dog was a 56 pound mixed breed Labrador, 5 year old
neutered male, who ate half a cannister of raisins.
Poison Control said as few as 7 raisins or grapes could
be toxic. Many people give their dogs grapes or
raisins as treats, including handlers. Any exposure
should give rise to immediate concern.
Over a period of three days this
dog was hospitalized but in the
end, due to acute renal failure,
his owner had to euthanize him.
