Get ready for a night of heartwarming stories from our guest speakers, auctions and furry friend guest visitors.

ODDs (Oskars Disabled dogs) is a safe home for disabled dogs in Ashford run by the wonderful Dave and Joanna who's love for these dogs is infinite. 100% of ticket proceeds go straight to ODDS. Oskar the dog is the reason ODDS came into existence. He was thrown out with the rubbish on the streets and suffers from doggy cerebral palsy meaning he has no control over his motor skills. No one wanted him because he wasn't 'normal'.

Toby, another ODDS dog had a broken back and has recently undergone intensive surgery to remove his two back legs thanks to donations and private funding from the owners of ODDS and is currently being an absolute trooper in his recovery. Stella (Poster top right) needs urgent surgery also. This fundraiser is in aid of that surgery and further donations will go straight to ODDs for other operations and towards the care of these vulnerable, loving, special dogs. On the day you will have access to a clear breakdown of the cost and how much we aim to raise. Please check them out and follow the stories of Oskar, Toby, Stella and more!

The nights activities...... * Guest speaker * Question time * A chance to meet the awesome pups * Sit down meal: Pre-order menu selection on ticket booking * Auction * At the end of the evening we will total up donations and reveal the final sum! * Donation station on the night for any physical donations welcome, these are also welcome at any point on a regular day - dog food, treats, bedding, etc.
