“We are also excited to be joined once again by Tendring Agility Group, who will be offering fun entertainment in the form of have-a-go agility.

“Admission is free, and all proceeds raised will go towards supporting the animals in our care.”

The charity’s rehoming centre is currently appealing for donations of unopened bottles, good quality raffle prizes, vouchers, gift hampers and pet treats ahead of the event.
