JOULES of Guernsey’s recent window display caused quite a stir amongst island dog lovers who took a liking to the 10 cardboard canines that resided at the front of the Pollet shop.
‘Since we made the display we had quite a few people asking if they could buy the dogs. The team and I thought this would be a great way to raise some funds for the GSPCA and we are so pleased how much we raised through the sealed bids for each of the cardboard cutouts,’ explained Joules’ Manager Carol Hutchins.
The bids were for: a Dalmatian, two Dalmatian puppies, two Dachshunds, two Corgis, two Great Danes, a greyhound and an acetate of a Jack Russell.
‘Some of the dogs were slightly damaged but it hasn’t discouraged people and we sold them all with the highest bid of £40,’ added Carol.
The sealed bid took place between Monday 26th March and 3pm Saturday 31st March. The successful bidders have now all been contacted and all the money is in with a grand total of £196.00p donated to the GSPCA.
‘This was a great way to raise much needed funds for the GSPCA while also highlighting the fact that we have some lovely dogs needing a home.’ 'We are so grateful to Carol and her team at Joules Guernsey as without kind people and businesses like this we couldn't help care for the 1000's of animals that come through our doors every day.' said GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne.
