The Clymping Isolation Dog Show!

admin — Wed, 08 Apr 2020 15:47:52 +0000

We're out to find the best quarantine fur babies!

Is your dog entertaining you during your isolation?

Have you managed to teach your pup new tricks during your time at home?

Or, has your pup just been super excited to have you home with them?!

As we can’t do our normal dog show or Easter events at this time, we’ve decided to hold a Facebook competition to celebrate the nation’s pooches and give people a little furry happiness in their timelines!

We’re putting together a bumper hamper filled with toys, treats, and other amazing things for the winner and runners up (to be sent after the government guidance is lifted!).

As we’re bias and believe every dog is a winner, we’re getting our Facebook community to vote on the winners!

There will be 3 rounds where people will be able to ‘vote’ for their favourites by ‘liking’ their photos/videos.

Round 1: Every dog who enters,

Round 2: The top 10, and

Final Round: The top 5.

The top dog will win our bumper pack, with the next 2 runners up winning some prizes as well.

Do you think your pooch is the best boy or girl in the nation? Well, let our Facebook community decide!

Here are the rules:

Enter by Friday 17th April, 9pm. Entries and donations made after this won’t go towards the competition.
Each entry requires a £2 donation. You can enter multiple dogs, but each requires a £2 donation. Please use this form to donate through our PayPal and make sure you enter your dogs name in the comment so we know which pooch your donation links to: Entry Donation Form
Use the form below to submit your entry, giving us a photo or video (or both!) of your beautiful dog!
Follow us on Facebook and keep an eye out for when we announce our contestants! https://www.facebook.com/ClympingDogSanctuary/
When the entries are live on Facebook, vote for your favourites!
Make sure you share the competition and get your Facebook friends to like our page and vote as well!!

Process Of Adopting A Clymping Dog

admin — Sat, 08 Feb 2020 14:15:23 +0000

You can’t buy love but you can rescue it!

More than 100,000 dogs await new owners in UK adoption shelters.

Why adopt?

For many, the idea of adopting or ‘rescuing’ a dog carries with it a certain image. Some people mistakenly look at dog adoption as if it’s buying cheap, discounted or broken goods. As more and more dogs find themselves, through no fault of their own, in need of a new home, the image of the ‘rescue dog’ is in need of an we think!

No longer are shelters the preserve of the ‘problem dog’, but they are packed with dogs of all types, from all manner of backgrounds and circumstances.

We update our dogs on Facebook and on this website as often as we can but dogs come in daily to us so it is always worth calling or popping up – you never know who might be waiting for you here.

We put together some tips for you for when you visit…

1. You're going to meet a lot of dogs and hear a lot of details about them - bring a pen and paper to jot down some notes so you can remind yourself later. Everyone these days has a camera on their phone and it is ok to take photographs of the ones that catch your eye.

2. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes. Remember, it's a dog shelter, not a cocktail party, so dress accordingly! You're going to be getting down and at least a little bit dirty with dogs who may not have had a bath recently and who may not know that they shouldn't jump or climb on you - the dogs are craving love and attention so they will be excited to see you.

3. Bring the family! You are essentially choosing another member of your family so adopting a dog should be a team effort. We want to avoid at all costs a scenario where you have to bring the dog back simply because it was not the dog your other half was expecting!

Please don't bring any other dogs or pets along with you unless you have discussed it with us first. We are happy to arrange for your existing dog to meet their potential brother or sister but this is something that has to be done with careful thought.

4. Leave yourself plenty of time - probably at least a couple of hours - so you can get to know a handful of dogs and let us tell you all we know about him or her. We promise to be completely honest with you about our dogs and also tell you if we think a dog may not be right for you. Our aim is to find forever homes for every dog that has come to us but it has to be the right home.

Barktoberfest was a massive success!

Thank you to everyone who came out and supported us. Thanks also to the great team at the Brewhouse Project who co-hosted this event with us.

The fancy dress dog competition was brilliant and everyone had made such a effort with their doggies costumes!
