Nan Belton and Kate Sheils are the two BHP Billiton Iron Ore employees who will join our dogs for a day locked in the kennels, in a bid to raise much needed funds to support our rehoming operations.

Nan Belton in the Dog House

Nan and Kate joined our pooches last year and had such a good time they decided to do it all again! And thanks to BHP Billiton’s Matched Giving Program, they are hoping to have every dollar raised matched by their employer.

“Since becoming involved with the Refuge, I have realised how important the organisation is in Perth,” said Kate. “Without it, close to 1,000 dogs every year wouldn’t be rescued and re-homed, and that would be incredibly sad. So I’m just really pleased to be able to lend my support and help raise money to enable the Home to continue doing what it does so well.”

Please support us again this year by making a donation to Nan or Kate. Your donation will go directly to supporting the daily care of Perth’s lost and abandoned dogs.

You can also help by emailing this link to your friends: www.dogshome.org.au/doghouse

Are you a volunteer who wants to spend a day in the dog house?

This year we are opening up our annual Christmas fundraiser to regular Refuge volunteers.  You can join the great team from BHP Billiton on Saturday 8th December and have your donations matched too!

The BHP Billiton fundraiser, In the Doghouse, is one of our biggest fundraisers and you can help it become even bigger! A special donor – The Tate Family Foundation – will match the donations made to our volunteers who join in this event to value of $25,000!

For more information or to register please email events@dogshome.org.au

A Day in the Dog House will take place on Saturday 8 December from 10.30am.  Come on down and say hi to Nan and Kate and bring your own beloved pooch to have a picture taken with Santa Paws. Please check back on our website soon for pre-payment and bookings details.
