Easter Chicks and Rabbits.

We have been very busy here at Barking Mad Leeds, making Easter Chicks and Rabbits to raise fund for Dogs For Good. They are so cute and no doubt the yummy egg will please your taste buds.

Face Cloth Animals

We are asking for a donation of £2.50 and all the money will go to Dogs For Good.

If you would like one then give us a call and perhaps we could deliver them as we pass.

Over the next few days we will be near Wetherby, Garforth, Morley, Ilkley, Crossgates, Roundhay, Guiesley and Barkstone Ash.

Call Leeds 0113 2870808 to book your special delivery.

Winter Walk

Winter Walk

The biggest turn out for our Barking Mad Leeds Winter walk. Customers, hosts, family and friends, came from Cookridge, Swillington, Kippax, Colton. They were all wrapped up warm for a walk around the grounds of Temple Newsam Leeds. The weather here in Leeds was kind to us and we enjoyed views over Temple Newsam and across the city Leeds. To finish the walk we had some hot drinks, biscuits, mince pies and home made cakes, and of course the topic of conversation was all about dogs.

Christmas Lights

Christmas lights switch on in Kippax, Leeds was a great opportunity to have a stall and sell facecloth puppies to the local communities of Kippax, Garforth and Swillington. £75 was raised for Dogs 4 Good as well as promoting Barking Mad to a happy early Christmas audience.

I wish it could be Christmas every day

Host Longevity – A Barking Mad dog can be for life!

When you become a host family with Barking Mad Leeds you could get visitors for many years. Flat coated Retriever Cedar and his older sister Berry, first had a dog home boarding holiday with Barking Mad Leeds in 2007.  Here is Cedar with the Hartleys in 2007 and his latest visit in 2017.

They always stay with the Hartley family who started hosting in 2006 and still host today. Cedar has had many dog holidays over 10 years and he is now 11 years old. He still enjoys his holidays but now with his younger sister Chilli and his puppy brother Lowan.

Cedar, Chilli and Lowan spend another wonderful holiday with the Hartleys

It’s been a Dogtober for us with Dogs For Good!

Barking Mad Leeds has been supporting Dogs for Good, a charity that provides dogs to support children and adults in their day to day life. We love them so on top of our every day dog sitting service we held a Hot dog and Pup cake sale at our local Scout group. They had great fun making dog masks, origami dogs and of course eating plenty of food. A grand total of £66.50 was raised.

Thank you to all who donated, baked and purchased. Look out for our next dog themed event coming along for the dog lovers of Yorkshire soon!

Everyone loved the pup cakes for a good cause
