The event will take place on Saturday, November 16th, from 6:30 pm at the Crowne Plaza, offering attendees a magical evening with a meaningful cause at its heart. All proceeds from the ball will benefit four beloved local charities: Woodfield Dog Rescue, Victor’s Ark, Madelina, and Happy Tails. Guests will be welcomed with a drinks reception, followed by an indulgent three-course meal and live entertainment, including a spectacular performance by a Freddie Mercury tribute artist.

“It’s going to be an incredible night—great value and all for a wonderful cause,” Hennon shared. “It’s the perfect opportunity to dress up, savor delicious food, dance the night away, and enjoy the casino. Every year, our guests have a fantastic time, and it’s all in support of dogs in need.”
In addition to the main festivities, the event will feature a charity raffle with prizes sure to thrill, including a luxurious overnight stay at Rudding Park Hotel, tickets to the enchanting Christmas ballet A Christmas Carol in Leeds, and a deluxe holiday hamper.

A pet, or companion animal, is an animal kept primarily for a person’s companionship or enjoyment rather than for practical tasks such as working, farming, or scientific research. While many people choose pets with appealing physical traits, intelligence, or engaging personalities, others adopt animals based on altruistic motives, caring for strays or rescues regardless of their appearance or behaviour.
Among the most beloved pets are dogs and cats, renowned for their companionship and diverse personalities. Other popular animals include rabbits, ferrets, and various rodents like gerbils, hamsters, chinchillas, rats, mice, and guinea pigs. Birds, such as parrots, songbirds, and chickens, also make delightful pets for many. Reptiles, including turtles, lizards, snakes, and iguanas, attract enthusiasts with their unique behaviours, while fish and aquatic invertebrates like freshwater and saltwater snails are popular in the world of aquariums. Amphibians, such as frogs and salamanders, and even exotic arthropods like tarantulas and hermit crabs, are sought after by those who enjoy more unconventional pets.
Companion animals range widely in size, from small rodents to larger animals like horses and cattle, both of which can also serve as affectionate companions.
