The Wetnose Animal Aid International Organisation is holding the
“Wetnose Animal Awards” Ceremony on Wednesday the 3rd March at 3.30pm
till 5.30 at the Cholmondeley Room in the House of Lords in London.
Many of these Rescue Centres getting awards have helped sick and
abused animals for years, a life time of dedication, one such centre is
the Paws Animal Sanctuary in Findon, Sussex run by Stacey McSprite, who
has been rescuing small animals for over 30 years.
Many celebrities attending the show include, Ann Widdecombe MP, Nick
Knowles, John Altman (Nasty Nick in Eastenders) Nicola Duffett,
Lorraine Chase, Jenny Seagrove and DJ David Hamilton, Susan Jameson,
Gary Webster, Anthea Turner, Sherrie Hewson (Loose Women) Roger Mugford
(Dog Behaviourist) Clarissa Baldwin from Dogs Trust, OK Magazine, WSPA
and Network For Animals. The awards will be presented by Wendy Turner
Webster with Ingrid Tarrant interviewing celebrities and guests.
The event’s aim is to promote and champion the smaller, less well
known rescue organizations, and to say “Thank you” to the people who
run them.
With a huge 45% drop in donations last year, many animal charities
have struggled with lower financial input, the awards are designed to
raise publicity and a small reward by way of a trophy for years of
dedicated work to the often less heralded people of the animal welfare
world.
There is also a special award for our brave RAF sniffer dogs and
handlers too, the 3 dogs and 7 handlers will be presented with a
Bravery Cup for their courage and presented by Lord Craig of Radley OBE
for helping the Armed Forces when taken to Afghanistan and other places
for action.
