Dawn to Dusk Challenge – January 30th 2026

Paul’s story

A small team of us have been set the challenge of walking non-stop from dawn till dusk to see what distance we can achieve, and to raise much needed funds for Waggy Tails Rescue.

Each team member will walk 2k before handing over the baton to the next team member. This will repeat over the 9 plus hours until sunset! The team comprises of six individuals.

Waggy Tails Rescue continue to be full to capacity with abandoned dogs in need of their forever home. On top of this, they receive multiple requests each day to take in other strays. With vet bills on the rise, improvements needed to our sanctuary in order to keep our services running, we need as much financial support as possible.

Any spare pennies you can donate, will go towards saving a rescue!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

As well as the Challenge there is a prize of Champagne and Chocolates for the person who guesses the total distance walked in day.  Please send your guess to admin@waggytails.org.uk,  giving your name and total distance, with the subject Dawn to Dusk.

If you would like to come and encourage the team there will be refreshments available to purchase.  Everyone is welcome.

CHRISTMAS PRESS RELEASE

The strain on animal rescues over the last two years has been unprecedented. All over the country rescues are full and sadly turning away many animals who need a space.    Our plans to expand the sanctuary at Little Lions Farm have been refused causing great sadness to us and our supporters, who had hoped to save many more animals. We will continue our work at Helen’s House in Magna Road and just hope that another property comes along which isn’t  under Dorset Council’s remit so our plans would be looked at more positively.

At Christmas more requests to take dogs come in than any other time of the year.   And this Christmas is no exception.    However, we are normally buoyed by the generosity of the public with gifts of food and treats for all those in our care – except sadly  this year there are only a few kind people ringing our door bell with donations.    A measure of the times maybe, when so many have little to spare.
