We are delighted to announce the return of the beautiful rescue dogs from Newfound Friends to the Isle of Wight.

These magnificent Newfoundland Dogs bring their well honed life saving skills to The Folly Inn, Whippingham, on Sunday 12th August, for an amazing rescue demonstration from the River Medina, and you could get involved!

The Newfound Friends have been plucking hardy fundraisers from the water for 20 years now and this is a great opportunity to get up close to these St Bernard’s of the sea.

The Hospice is looking for adventurous people to be rescued from the River Medina by a genuine Newfoundland Rescue Dog while raising money for patient care on the Island. Fundraisers must be over 16 years of age and comfortable swimmers, and must agree to raise a minimum of £60 in sponsorship.

If you’re a bit nervous about signing-up don’t panic, we can assure you you’ll be in safe paws. The Newfound Friends Rescue Dogs are the only dogs ever to be commended by The Royal Life Saving Society!

If you are interested in getting involved in this event please give Hospice Fundraising a call on (01983) 528989
