This April, inspired by the much loved children's book by Michael Rosen, Club Dogwood are going on a Bear Hunt! Venturing through Long Wavy Grass deep into the Big Dark Forest, traversing the Deep Cold River, braving a Swirling Whirling Snowstorm and Thick Oozy Mud, before coming face to face with the bear in a Narrow Gloomy Cave! All in the name of enjoying time with our dogs and building their confidence, focus and coordination so that they CAN go under things, they CAN go over things and they CAN go through things!

Alongside our Bear Hunt we are raising money for a very special Bear Charity. Free the Bears protects, rescues and cares for the world's most vulnerable bear species - sun bears and moon bears. They've helped rescue more than 950 bears from the illegal wildlife trade, helped end the centuries old dancing bear tradition in India, built and operate rescued bear sanctuaries in 3 countries, become a world leader in cub care, provided alternative livelihoods to impoverished communities and helped educate & inspire countless people around the world. Your donations will help them continue to protect and care for bears in need.

Our very own Sarah Bear is taking on challenges voted for by Club Dogwood members, starting with a special trip to the shops! If you’d like to see what she gets up to, please donate below. Thank you!
