We have more terrific workplaces with elves as well as some very generous donations so far for our raffle. We still need more elves to take the concept to their workplaces, schools and community groups- please let us know if you can help.

Well, time has flown and the event is this Sunday.

We would like to thank Prestige Pet, Pets and the City, TROY, Nature Vet, Vets all Natural AND Black Dog Wear for their exceptional donations to Project Underdog. There are going to be some much happier dogs and cats this Christmas and New Year.

I also have a number of new elves (nut more are still welcome) so thank you to everyone who is taking Project Underdog to their workplace etc.

Please come along on Sunday and support us- even if you can just drop past on your way somewhere. While we realise its a very busy time for all, your support will make a huge difference.

We have been working day and night on this and can't wait to see it all start to take shape. Remember- EVERY donation counts and no donation is too small.
