Wow, what a fantastic night was had by all at TOLFA’s 2nd ball. It was a truly memorable event attended by 60 people who were the first to see our new promotional video that highlighted the work we do in India.
The whole evening raised a magnificent £1200 which will go such a long way in India, helping us continue the work we do.
Our ball held at the Great Northern Hotel, Peterborough
Sunday 7th Sept was a grey murky day but luckily the rain held off for the 5 TOLFA fundraisers to complete 5km around the Hyde Park Adidas Womens Challenge route and collect close to £500 in sponsorship.

As you walk through the rescue kennel block, dozens of alert eyes follow you, willing you to stop and stroke and nurture, and yes, you’re carrying a lead which means a delicious outing into the big world outside. Sand between your paws, nose to the breeze, perfect places to seek out for doing what doggies do!
Perhaps a scrap with a bristling shelter dog like Justin, hackles up with indignation at an unknown outsider. But above all, chance to stretch those dog legs after being confined to barracks.
The distributing of Tree of Life For Animals leaflets around Pushkar has brought our hospital to the attention of Jim Bob and Dawn Daly who forgo jewellery making, gypsy dancing and yoga classes in favour of a week of walking our rescue dogs.

On Sunday 14th September it is the official National Pet Memorial Day - a day set aside to remember our much beloved companions.
Many animal lovers have experienced the loss of a much loved pet as has TOLFA over the past 3 years.
You can set up an ‘In Memory Of’ page like Sarah Solmssen did for her beautiful dog Lily which you can see here: In Memory of Lily.
For more information on our In Memory Of page please email Kim at enquiries@tolfa.org.uk

One sunny day we had a group of very excited college students walk through our gates.
The computer students of Aryan College in Ajmer had recently been to a lecture on Animal Welfare arranged by the charity Animal Aid. The lecture was a great success and detailed some of TOLFA’s work in Pushkar and Ajmer, primarily our rescue program and our neutering and vaccination program.
