Fundraising success at IKEA http://www.sighthoundsonline.org.uk/news/96-fundraising-success-at-ikea Anyone who visited IKEA in Cardiff on Easter saturday, would have seen SOL's fundraising stall.

Sighthounds Ruby, Grace and Boola did a hard day's work on the stall - greeting their adoring public throughout the day, (oh and their owners were there aswell).

The hounds loved all the attention and were perfectly behaved the whole time. They did an excellent job of promoting SOL, tin shaking, proving what adorable dogs sighthounds are and managed to raise over £270.

The shelter are full with dogs to care for and very little funds to pay for all the food and vet bills. A recent outbreak of parvo has made the situation even worse. 6 items on the auction were to raise money for pet passsports to get some of the younger dogs over to the UK and into new homes, these were a great success!

Many thanks to everyone who took part in some way, your continued support and friendship is much appreciated
