The
Oldies Club is a dog rescue, run solely by volunteers, that specialises
in rescuing and rehoming older dogs - aged 7 years plus.
Woof
Factor 2010 - Starts 1st March 2010
Oldies Club is celebrating older dogs! They are holding a fundraising
photo competition for the second year running especially for dogs
age 7 years and over. The winning dog will represent the Oldies
Club for the following year. The only rule for this competition
is that dogs entering need to be veterans, they do not necessarily
need to be rescue dogs to enter.
They have divided the UK up into 7 regions (North East, North West,
South East, South West, Midlands, Scotland and Wales.) The winner
of each region will go forward to the Grand Final.
The competition will run for the month of March, closing at 9pm
on Wednesday 31st March 2010.
