Residents from Foley Grange care home in Kidderminster welcomed local canines to a community Dog Show recently.
Dog owners from the community brought their pups to compete in six categories including cutest puppy, fluffiest ears, best rescue.
A panel of judges, made up of residents from Foley Grange, scored each contestant as they showcased their best talents and tricks. 94-year-old resident and Dog Show judge Edward Youens said,
‘It was very interested to see such a variety of dogs, all clearly greatly loved by their owners. I’d like to have another Dog Show soon.’
Community member and owner of Jack Russel Roxy, who came third in the ‘best rescue’ category, added,
‘The Dog Show was wonderful; we met some lovely people. Roxy enjoyed her day just as much as I did, and we would definitely like to attend again.’
Michelle Pilgrom, the Home Manager at Foley Grange, said, ‘Our Dog Show was a huge success! The residents really enjoyed being judges for the day and meeting all the tail-wagging contestants.
‘We’re always looking for ways to bring our community together for a bit of fun. We’d like to thank everyone who came to take part and we can’t wait to do it all again.’
