The Great Hampstead Bark Off dog show will be held on Sunday, September 27, at the Parliament Hill cricket pitch. The event is organised by the North London charity All Dogs Matter to raise funds for its work rehoming abandoned and unwanted pets.
Ira Moss, founder of the East Finchley-based charity, stated that the organisation is observing a rise in the number of dogs entering rescue. Mr Moss attributed this increase partly to dogs being bought and sold online, leading to them being passed between owners. He also noted that some dogs are being surrendered after owners return from holidays without making arrangements for their care.
Rescued Doberman Wins Five National Awards in Finchley Show
Purdy, a five-year-old Doberman with cropped ears and tail, was an unexpected champion at a national dog show.
All Dogs Matter has rehomed over one dog per day in the past year. The charity is currently seeking homes for several dogs, including Herman, a three-year-old French bulldog who came into care following a house seizure. Colin, a dog found straying, is also looking for a family patient enough to help him with his anxiety. Jinx, a terrier cross, is another dog in need of a home after being neglected and suffering from a skin condition and poor nutrition.
The dog show will feature categories such as 'golden oldie,' 'best rescue dog,' and 'waggiest tail.' Stalls for both people and pets will also be available. Mr Moss highlighted that events like the Bark Off are essential for raising the necessary funds to support the charity's operations and provide a positive day out for the community and their dogs.
