Newsletter June 2008
Summer has arrived and with it brings plenty of opportunities to get out and about with your dog, exploring woods, parks, rivers and many other brilliant locations. With this in mind we are launching a new and innovative service to help keep your pets safe all year round. We are also creating more and more links with fantastic pet related businesses who can offer you great products at discounted rates just for being A Dog Called Wander client.

Up and Coming Events
Pet Search & Rescue
In late June we will be launching our latest and most challenging service yet, Pet Search & Rescue. This service will be designed to give you the help needed in locating a lost pet when out on a walk or lost from a garden. We will aim to be at your location within 30 minutes of your call so we can begin to help with the search. Using Steves skills in climbing and watersports and our contacts with local media we are confident that we can help locate your lost pet. For more information please contact Steve at petcare@adogcalledwander.co.uk
Viking Way Charity Dog Walk
On the 10th July Steve and Honey Bee will begin their trek from the Humber Estuary following the route of the Viking Way all the way through the heart of Lincolnshire and down towards rutland water. The walk will be raising money for Guide Dogs for the Blind and Meningitis UK. We are hoping as many people and dogs as possible will join us along the various legs and we are hoping to raise as much money as possible!
Lincolnshire Greyhound Trust Dog Show Marton
On the 14th & 15th June the Lincolnshire Greyhound Trust will be holding their annual dog show and we will be there. It is a great opportunity to take a closer look at this unique breed and have some fun entering all the various competitions and strolling around the stalls. The first day is primarily Greyhounds whereas the second day is an open dog day. Hope to see you all there.
