Pup Aid 2010 supported by guitarists

Guitarists and other celebrities took time to support Pup Aid 2010.  A classic Epiphone Casino guitar was auctioned signed by rock legends Liam Gallagher, Paul Weller, Gary Moore and The Clash’s Mick Jones.  The money from the auction will go to Dogs Trust Shoreham, the Kennel Club Charitable Trust, which invests money in dog health research and dog welfare charities and Oldies Club – a small charity re-homing older unwanted dogs.

PUP AID 2010 is about choosing a happy and healthy dog by adopting from a rescue shelter or responsible breeder, and is the brainchild of Brighton-based TV Vet Marc Abraham, resident vet on ITV’s This Morning, Sky1’s My Pet Shame and More4’s dfs Crufts.
“Puppy farming has been going on in this country for years with no-one able to stop it,” Marc says. “By raising awareness as much as possible with live music and dog-loving celebrities, we can all help to stop the growing demand for these poorly pups and finally end the pain once and for all. We hope that as a result of this event people will remember to go to a rescue home or to buy a puppy from a Kennel Club Accredited Breeder, rather than unwittingly fuelling the cruel puppy farming trade. This will prevent the suffering of millions of dogs now and in the future.”
