Goodwoof presented by MARS Petcare is delighted to announce that Dogs Trust will be the official charity partner of its inaugural two-day canine extravaganza which runs between 28 – 29 May.
goodwoof
In conjunction with Goodwoof’s dogs-first mindset where a wealth of canine content will celebrate the many ways in which dogs enhance all our lives, the partnership with Dogs Trust, will seek to enhance the knowledge and understanding of dogs within society to help prevent behavioural problems that could result in relinquishment or abandonment.
The UK’s largest dog welfare charity will be the sole beneficiary of an awe-inspiring auction run by Bonhams at Goodwoof. ‘Barkitecture’ presented by Mastercard UK, features a fabulous and exclusive collection of dog kennels designed by the world’s best architects and designers, in a one-of-a-kind exhibition. The live auction featuring the winning design as judged by a panel of experts will be open to the general public with entrants from the likes of Lord Foster, Sir Michael Hopkins, and Love From’s Jony Ive and Marc Newson.
Our aim is to help support and raise awareness about the work that Dogs Trust do for those animals that face uncertain futures
The Duke of Richmond and Gordon
In addition, Goodwoof will raise funds for the canine cause by offering a £2.50 voluntary donation at the ticket basket stage.
The Duke of Richmond and Gordon commented, “Our aim is to help support and raise awareness about the work that Dogs Trust do for those animals that face uncertain futures.
“The lockdown period has led to an unprecedented boom in dog ownership. While Goodwoof will celebrate everything we love about our canine companions, areas of the event will be curated specifically to educate owners on dog wellness and leading therapies for dogs. Forging strong, healthy relationships between human and hound complements the charity’s mission, in addition to the fabulous on-event fundraising efforts which will take place at Goodwoof.’’
To commemorate the rich history and role of dogs throughout the years, Dogs Trust will activate a unique area to remember the astounding and largely unsung roles that our four-legged heroes have played, by bringing to life a moving and engaging tribute. In addition, the exciting A Dog’s Trail with Snoopy sculpture trail run by Dogs Trust in Cardiff will exclusively come to Goodwoof. Intricately decorated Snoopy sculptures designed by artists, designers and illustrators will form a miniature replica of the trail on site at Goodwoof, the perfect Instagram-able backdrop to raise awareness of the charity and the main trail in Cardiff.
Every dog that comes to us has had to leave behind everything they’ve ever known and every one of them deserves a second chance to find happiness at the heart of a loving home. Until that time comes, we will care for them and that wouldn’t be possible without the help of the dog-loving public.
Owen Sharp Dogs Trust Chief Executive
Dogs Trust Chief Executive Owen Sharp said, “We are very proud to be the beneficiary charity for the Goodwoof event. As the UK’s largest dog welfare charity, we find new homes for thousands of dogs every year and we are committed to doing whatever we can to help all dogs live life to the full. Every penny raised for Dogs Trust at Goodwoof will help us do that. For the dogs in our care, it means we can make sure we are able to provide them with everything they need whilst they are with us, from comfy beds and toys to training and treats and any medical treatment they might need.
