Schnauzerfestive Season is all about being out and having fun with our dogs during the festive break. We know that for dogs in puppy farms Christmas is just like any other time of year - miserable. But with our help, those which are rescued face a brighter future. Donations will pay for vital veterinary care and specialist treatment. In cases where it's possible to do so, blind dogs will have their eyesight restored by funds raised for Schnauzerfest.

River is a puppy farm dog who knows the value of donating to Schnauzerfest. She was a Christmas miracle. On Christmas Eve two years ago, she received life saving surgery for a neurological condition which caused her great pain and distress. After talking with Schnauzerfest, the manager of the Diana Brimblecombe Rescue Centre knew the surgery for River could go ahead as Schnauzerfest funding was there for just this kind of exceptional care. The surgery saved her life but came at great cost to the Diana Brimblecombe Animal Rescue Centre. The final bill for her care exceeded £10,000. Read more about River here.

It's only through generous supporters and donations that work like is possible for the dogs. This is what donations to Schnauzerfest support.
