Pawsome London Dog Events For The Weekend

All Dogs Matter invite you to celebrate the Year of the Rescue Dog at our exhibition at Lauderdale House, Highgate Village 14th June-6th July and the exhibition is dog-friendly!

The photos have been taken by a host of different photographers including Rankin and will showcase our rescue dogs and their owners, plus a few of our special supporters like Ricky Gervais, Michelle Collins, Peter Egan and Rachel Riley.

‘Year of the Rescue Dog’ is a tribute to our dogs fascinating life stories; their journey from fear and neglect to their forever homes. We want the photos to show off how wonderful rescue dogs are and indeed how rewarding it can be to adopt one.

*** Our visit to the exhibition now on the blog here***

The prints will be available to purchase to help us raise more invaluable funds for our dogs in need. The private view on 13th June is open to the public and the exhibition runs from 14th June-6th July. Please check the website before you visit as the gallery is not open every day. Entry is free but donations are welcome!

All Dogs Matter are a local dog rescue and rehoming charity based near East Finchley, who take in and rehome abandoned/unwanted dogs from all over London. We could not do this without the support of the general public, we receive no government funding so all donations make a difference.

We decided to put the exhibition together on the back of an exponential rise in the number of homeless dogs being rescued across the UK. Thankfully a change in public attitudes has seen hundreds more people now deciding to rehome a dog instead of buying one.

Dog-Friendly Cinema Exhibit Streatham | Puppy Love Brunch Cinema Club

Dogs may be a man’s best friend, but all too often, they get the short end of the (chewing) stick and miss out on much of the human fun. This is why the pooch-friendly establishments of Exhibit Bars in South London are hosting a series of canine-friendly cinema screenings for dogs and their parents to enjoy together. Not only will the screenings feature some of the best doggy movies of all time, but dogs will be treated to bottomless treats and a glass (or bowl!) of Pawsecco on arrival. See our exclusive Balham Puppy Love Brunch Cinema Club Preview review here to see what it’s all about!

Exhibit Bars are well-known for their boutique cinema screens. In Balham, the 28-seat cinema features leather sofas where dogs and their parents can snuggle up together. Meanwhile in Streatham Hill, Exhibit B’s Dark Room screening area will become a canine paradise with blankets and cushions for the dogs to relax on. All Puppy Love Brunch Club films have been hand-picked to be dog friendly and will be presented with lower audio levels so as not to scare the dogs. The first films will be ‘Turner and Hooch’ and ‘Lady and the Tramp’. Tickets for screenings include brunch dish and an hour and a half of unlimited bubbles for human guests. Dogs go free and receive the full VIP treatment with bottomless treats, a glass of dog-friendly fizz on arrival, and as many hugs as they can cope with from the Exhibit team!
