Hi,
i used to work in Pets At Home (formerly Petsmart) for a couple of years and wondered , ( as long as i can sweet talk my old manager still, which shouldnt be a problem, lol) if a way to gain recognition and funds and hopefully forever homes for the dogs, would to be to have a display table in the store on a weekend and bring a couple of the dogs and posters and stuff. they have hosted RSPCA and bluecross before so i was just wondering if this would be something you would be interested in. the store is the Crawley store 10 mins from Gatwick Airport, i know this is a long way for you, but i thought i would offer as they have a high turnover of customers as its on the way through from the airport and on the industrial estate...
let me know what you think...

Fantastic idea Nicci. I see they also have branches at Brentford, Raynes Park & Feltham close to the RR team. How good are your chatting up skills? Could you get your manager to get permission from one of those stores too? No pressure, but when a good idea comes up ... Very Happy

Yeah, i will do my best!!! still know a few people so will speak to them soon. i will let you know how it goes. Dogs are allowed in store all the time and not just assistance dogs so it will be easy to melt a few hearts!!! lol.

Will let you know how it all goes. - could i be cheeky and get people who would like to do the table give me an idea of when we would like to do this so i can give them a rough idea, but once i get permission i will get a contact name and pass it on to you so you can organise dates, times etc?...

The New Malden pets at home often has Stan Rawlinson (dog whisperer) in fairly regularly to do little talks / presentations etc...

They advertise when he is coming in next and have his cards on each till counter.

Would be great to get the stores enthusiastic about RR / TR so they might support in a similar way.

Would be even better if RR had their table there on the same day?!!! Guess it's very busy when he is there?

Hi, PetsatHome may not let two different tables be there on the same day, but in the much larger stores it may not be a problem.
Also they advertise upcoming events on their website so more people should know when we will be down.
