COME AND WATCH JENNY MORGAN SHAVE HER HEAD FOR BOI ANIMAL RESCUE

Hello, I’m Jenny Morgan from 'Jenny Morgan Professional Dog Grooming'.
In my line of work I come across the most wonderful dogs. A high percentage of them have experienced an awful start to life and some have ended up in the pound through no fault of their own, just like 'Manu' here in the photo. Thank goodness he has now been re-homed into a wonderful loving family. And it’s not just dogs; all kinds of animals are suffering abuse and neglect.
This is why I have decided to raise money for the BOI Animal Rescue - Never Ending Story. This wonderful rescue organisation has worked tirelessly for over 12 years for animals in need, and I want to help them continue!
On Saturday 4th July, between 12 and 1pm, I will have ALL MY HAIR SHAVED OFF for Bay of Islands Animal Rescue – Never Ending Story. Please come along to Highway Vets (next door to Redwoods Garden Centre, 1526 Springbank Road, SH10, Kerikeri) to watch, and show your support by donating to this great cause! I looking forward to seeing you there. (Oh, by the way, my hair will be donated to The KidsCan Charitable Trust.)

If you can’t make it, please look out for my Give A Little Page (coming soon), or call or email me for information on how to donate.
